Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) agree on almost nothing. This week, they agreed on something that matters: Congress has a misconduct problem, and nobody inside the institution has been willing to fix it.

Two members of Congress resigned this week, one Democrat and one Republican. Eric Swalwell of California faced accusations from five women, including allegations of rape. Tony Gonzales of Texas admitted to an affair with a staff member, a direct violation of House conduct rules. The staffer later took her own life.
