Hello, and welcome back to Tomorrow Will Be Worse!

We’re back on this pre-holiday Wednesday with another Tina Nguyen banger, this one about Marjorie Taylor Greene. As much as she is both terrifying and risible—gazpacho police, anyone?—I find her to be endlessly fascinating, too. But I always thought that her migration from the far, warped edges of the Republican Party to its nerve center was mostly a function of the G.O.P.’s Overton window shifting further and further to the right. According to Tina’s reporting, however, it’s not just that. It’s also Greene’s surprising political savvy and ability to quickly learn the ropes in Congress—and master them. It’s helped her climb to the top in just two short years.

Enjoy Tina’s piece. It is, as always, utterly fascinating.
