They couldn't get one more idiot to leave the cuckoo's nest. 😪
Do these match the 2026 senate races?
Alaska - yes
Maine - yes
Kentucky - yes
These no votes will be used to campaign.
As for the Repub Sen's, they are more despicable and cowardly, putting fear of a primary opponent ahead of the country
He is an extremist who believes in attacking progressives and democracy itself. Not NEARLY enough discussion has been given to this.
This is an emergency.
White Entitled Inept
Hegseth has absolutely no education or experience whatsoever to warrant this appointment.
Hegseth is a stain on Trump’s magnificent reign…he brings down the standard and makes Trump look bad. At least Trump still has Elon working by his side who is young, strong and super smart.
but guaranteed to comply with Trump’s deployment of our military against Americans on American soil. Hegseth was removed from heading 2 vets organizations for drunkenness,
& mismanagement of funds.
All a sham, all a show.
No more corporate news for me. Can’t trust y’all
See what I did there
His idiots believe the lies, let's not get suckered too.
It was never about actually carrying out the will of the people, just about grabbing power.
McConnell knew Vance would break it.
I don't even think it's to preserve *his* image. It's so they can say faced "bipartisan" opposition and still won.
It grants an air of legitimacy to those who don't actually pay attention to politics.
