Not in the eyes of Liz Cheney. In an [interview]( with Eric Lutz, the former ranking Republican of the January 6 committee argued that hers has become the “anti-Constitution party,” which she has watched with “a combination of disgust and sadness.” Perhaps case in point, as Molly Jong-Fast [wrote]( this week, is the absurd impeachment push Republicans continue to wage against Joe Biden despite no evidence of wrongdoing. Evidence or not, though, the president’s road to reelection isn’t going to be smooth sailing. One reason, among many: Donald Trump continues to have a firm grip on evangelical voters, which Tim Alberta [broke down]( in a book excerpt featuring a prominent conservative Christian who broke with the religious right over Trump’s rise. Another reason: Biden is [still struggling]( to sell the American public on “Bidenomics” despite favorable jobs numbers. Meanwhile, speaking of 2024, the Squad, too, might be in trouble. Jack McCordick [chatted]( with The Intercept’s Ryan Grim to discuss why the Israel-Hamas war could pose major political challenges for key members next year. See you back on Monday. —Jon Skolnik, associate editor [High Vibes and Misdemeanors: The GOP’s Biden Impeachment Stunt Picks Up Steam]( By [Molly Jong-Fast]( [“This is not a serious effort,” Representative Ro Khanna tells Vanity Fair, but a Republican attempt to “distract from the disarray their caucus is in.”]( [Read more button](   [Liz Cheney on How the Post-Trump GOP Has Become the “Anti-Constitution Party”]( By [Eric Lutz]( [In an interview with Vanity Fair, the former vice chair of the January 6 committee said she’s watched the House Republican havoc with “a combination of disgust and sadness,” warning that Trump’s grip on Congress “could get much worse.”]( [Read more button](   [“This Is the Final Compromise”: Donald Trump and the Implosion of the American Evangelical Movement]( By [Tim Alberta]( [Cal Thomas was a leading figure in the Moral Majority’s rise, yet as Tim Alberta writes in an excerpt from his new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, the conservative Christian columnist has now broken with the religious right.]( [Read more button](   [Why the Israel-Hamas War Presents a “Do-or-Die” Moment for the Squad]( By [Jack McCordick]( [In an interview ahead of his new book, The Squad, The Intercept’s Ryan Grim dishes about his tight relationship with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the group’s broader political legacy, and how criticizing Israel could put its members in big jeopardy for 2024.]( [Read more button](   [Image may contain: Tie, Accessories, Accessory, Electrical Device, Microphone, Human, Person, Suit, Coat, and Clothing]( [Can Biden's Economic Message Break Through the 2024 Noise?]( By [Eric Lutz]( [Months after month, the Labor Department paints a rosy picture of “Bidenomics.” And yet, poll after poll, voters aren't feeling the love.]( [Read more button](   Get on the list Subscribe to our Hollywood newsletter for your essential industry and awards-season news, every day.
