Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) offered a frank assessment of the current GOP on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Late Show.”

“The Republican Party is eating itself and it is discovering that the meal is poisonous,” Warren said, responding to House Republicans’ purge of Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) from GOP leadership for refusing to back ex-President Donald Trump’s election lies.

“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert asked if there was any kind of political plan that Republicans were following.

Warren shook her head.

“This is all about loyalty to one human being,” she said, referring to Trump.

“It’s not about democracy, it’s not about principle, it’s not about anything, except everyone has to bend a knee and pledge loyalty to one human being. We’ve never done this in our country. This is not how a democracy functions.”

California bill to ban use of non-disclosure agreements in lawmaking process faces uncertain path
A proposal to prohibit the use of non-disclosure agreements during legislative negotiations in California has officially been written into a bill but faces uncertainty over whether it will move forward with a key legislative deadline approaching. Republican Assemblymember Vince Fong on Thursday officially amended AB 2654 to ban lobbyists, lawmakers, and other government officials from signing, requesting or drafting NDAs in the drafting, negotiation, discussion, or creation of proposed state laws. A violation would result in a misdemeanor penalty. The proposal would update the state's Political Reform Act of 1974, which would require a two-thirds vote from the Legislature.
