“Moderate” like “Progressive” is just a code word for liberal. For some reason, Liberals hate to be called Liberal. Understandable.
The Tuesday Group are the ‘RATS 5th column. They sabotage & weaken from within.
The Tuesday Group, The Freedom Caucus, The Liberty Caucus...
Groups that meet to push their legislative agendas.
It appears to me the biggest group of Republicans in the House are in the mushy middle, probably the most of whom don’t have strong feelings about anything other than staying in office and collecting campaign contributions.
The second biggest group are the liberal Republicans, discussed in this article.
The smallest group appears to be the conservatives: the Freedom Caucus and a few others who may not officially be members of the FC but usually vote along the same conservative lines as the FC.
Since the Dims are almost monolithically far-left, it is no surprise that Fedzilla never gets smaller. The conservatives are likely outnumbered by about 6 to 1.
Finally.
An article that starts to unmask the real problem inside the Republican Party: the treasonous Tuesday Group.
These are the people we need to expose and expunge.

Nice work by the author in preparing this list.
Primary them all.
Uber RINOs bump for later....
Good work by the author. These people have been sabotaging godd governance since Reagan.
There are reasons they’ve been so successful despite voters turning to conservatism.
One is that since they represent ‘purple’ districts they could likely be defeated by a Democrat: so the Leadership gives them more than those in ‘safe’ districts. More money, more power, more legislative victories.
Another is that they are generally from ‘rich’ districts and can steer donations to other Members (that’s the greatest power a Member can have in congress).
They affect media coverage of issues and Members. 90% of what the media ‘reports’ is input from them and the Dems. Both of whom have views that profit the media.
Politico has a story about what a damging sign it is that Fred Upton doesn’t support the new repeal/replace- since Fred supported every attempt to repeal it when Obama was president... (and the vote was meaningless). fake News, indeed.
And they’ve got outsized influence now in Leadership- despite being opposed to everything Republicn voters want.
Time to take the gloves off. This Tuesday group needs to be primaries!!! And Trump could make that happen - and he should. They are just like the damn Dems and will never support him. He may as well get the fight on NOW!!!
Tuesday Group = RINOs
IMO, I believe that most repub congress people have the same attitude as Rep Lankford R-OK. When asked if he felt bullied by Trump, he replied ‘I, don’t work for Trump, I work for my constituents.’ Doesn’t he know that he would be working on squat if Clinton was pres? He did after all ride in on Trumps coat tails as per his constituents.
