The reason that Rand Paul's statements are sometimes newsworthy is because he occasionally says something that is obviously, intuitively, true, when the Republican Brand™️ is Lies.
If and until the GOP acknowledge, repent, and are punished for the Big Lie about the 2020 election (which is essentially am umwritten party platform now), US democracy is in danger.

“Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary, publicly framed Canada as pivoting toward China, pursuing a free trade agreement, and positioning itself as a conduit for Chinese goods into the U.S. He used that framing to justify threats of 100 percent tariffs and broader economic pressure.
