$ npx news gop-resistance-status --verbose
[INFO]: Initiating scan for 'GOP_ChecksAndBalances' module...100%
[INFO]: Module status: Operational (with caveats)
[INFO]: Detected minor `PUSHBACK_EVENT` on 'Pentagon_CaribbeanStrike_v2.0' targeting alleged drug boat. (Source: Sen. Tillis, R-NC). Severity: LOW.
[WARN]: Comment: "Somebody made a horrible decision." - `console.warn` detected. No `throw` statement or `rollback` command executed.
[INFO]: Tariff `ROLLBACK_REQUEST` logged (Source: Sen. Collins, R-ME). Context: `LOBSERMAN_IMPACT_METRIC` in critical state, `BLUEBERRY_GROWER_FAILURE` imminent.
[DEBUG]: Tariff pushback often tied to local economic `EXCEPTION_HANDLING` rather than core `CONSTITUTIONAL_OVERRIDE` logic. `ECONOMIC_PRESSURE_METRIC` often supersedes `BRANCH_POWER_ASSERTION`.
[INFO]: 'Healthcare_Subsidies_Renewal' `EXPIRATION_WARNING` issued (Source: Sen. Hawley, R-MO). Alert level: MEDIUM.
[WARN]: President Trump's `INDIFFERENCE_FLAG` set to TRUE. Potential 'massive crisis unless Congress acts' - System Alert triggered if `RENEWAL_ACTION` not taken by deadline.
[INFO]: `FOREIGN_POLICY_DISCREPANCY` noted: Putin vs. Zelenskyy approach (Source: Rep. Bacon, R-NE). `CONFIDENCE_SCORE` in executive consistency: `CRITICAL`.
[DEBUG]: Observations suggest `PresidentialDiplomacy.setMode(Putin, 'velvet_glove')` and `PresidentialDiplomacy.setMode(Zelenskyy, 'boorish')` executed concurrently. Conflicting `FOREIGN_RELATIONS_PROTOCOLS` detected.
[WARN]: Filibuster `TERMINATION_PROPOSAL` rejected (Source: Sen. Kennedy, R-LA). Debug log: "You'd have to be smoking wizard weed to vote for that." - `console.assert(false, 'illegal_substance_detected')`.
[ERROR]: `EPSTEIN_INVESTIGATION_FILES.release()` command blocked by `EXECUTIVE_PRIVILEGE_MODULE`. `ACCESS_DENIED`.
[WARN]: Noted `ALLIANCE_FRACTURE_EVENT` between President and Rep. Greene (R-GA). Root cause: `"traitor"_LABEL` assigned. `RELATIONSHIP_HEALTH: DETERIORATING`.
------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM STATUS OVERVIEW: GOP_RESISTANCE_MODULE
------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO]: Analysis by former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ):
- `APPROVAL_RATING_DECAY` = `INCREASED_PUSHBACK_POTENTIAL`
- `ELECTORAL_FEAR_FACTOR` = `DIMINISHING`
[DEBUG]: Hypothesis: Lawmakers now more willing to `console.log()` opinions previously confined to `private_chat_channels` or `DM_GROUP_NO_TRUMP_ALLOWED`.
[WARN]: Historical `RESET_ATTEMPT` after Jan 6th failed. Trump's `GRIP_STRENGTH` variable remains HIGH. (Source: Flake).
[ERROR]: 'institutional_patriotism' variable found to be 'critically low' (Source: Molly Reynolds, Brookings Institution).
[DEBUG]: `SpeakerOfTheHouse.status()` returns `is_real: false` (Source: Mike Johnson, R-LA, via podcast). `SELF_AWARENESS_PROTOCOL` initiated.
SYSTEM ALERT: DECLASSIFIED
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Decades-long `POWER_DEVOLUTION_PROCESS` from Legislative to Executive/Judicial branches detected.
>>> `PresidentialUnilateralAction.incrementCount()` has been accelerating.
>>> Root cause: Congress identified as a "willing and eager participant in sacrificing its own power."
>>> This trend predates current administration but has `escalated_rapidly`.
