Good

 Congress finally demonstrated a miniscule amount of moral fiber and engineered the ejection of Eric Swallwell, Democrat of California, and Tony Gonzalez, Republican of Texas. Both men have been accused of fairly horrific sexual crimes. There are two other members - one Democrat and one Republican, both from Florida - who are in similar ethical crosshairs. Yes, the fact that this did not alter the balance in the House mattered. If Cory Mills and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormack were to leave, too, that would represent some semblance of the old order in American politics, whereby people who do unethical shit no longer get to represent the public.

Of all the myriad ways that Trump has warped American politics, one of the worst has been his normalization of simply ignoring these ethical constraints. His blasphemous picture of himself as Jesus healing the sick would be a normal career ending act. For Trump, nothing seems to stick in the same way it has for other politicians. 

Swallwell and Gonzalez leaving Congress is objectively good, because it reintroduces the idea that there are consequences for bad actions. 

Now if we can only apply that to the highest office in the land.
