Because Markwayne Mullin is a wannabe tough guy who has no policy agenda and probably can’t spell legislate and he’ll get to channel his insecurity into state sponsored violence before going home to sleep in his race car bed

Exclusive: Daines says his stunning exit was designed to avoid β€˜a very expensive’ race The Montana Republican sat down with Semafor to talk about the backstory behind his sudden, field-clearing retirement from Congress.

BACKSTORY: in interview Sen. Steve Daines says he closely worked with White House to coalesce behind Kurt Alme, avoid a primary and withdraw from race at last minute to block Democrats Tester, Bullock or Schweitzer from running. Alme didn’t even know White House was vetting him

But someone will fill the gap though, surely. They’re not going to give up a vote for 10 months.

Montana Republican Steve Daines is also not seeking reelection this fall. Can't imagine he'll want to stick around in December for 2am cloture votes...

Perhaps a reporter could ask the senator to define the word deescalate and see what happens

Right, so the "confrontation" that the gentleman wanted and got, that was how you "deescalated the situation"?

State high court lifts stay on redistricting special election On Wednesday, the Virginia Supreme Court confirmed that the special election will take place as planned, with voters heading to the polls on April 21.

The Virginia Supreme Court has cleared the way for the April 21 vote on the redistricting amendment to go forward, lifting a lower court injunction.

Does he cancel part of the August recess? Can he keep defeated / retiring / otherwise outgoing Rs late at night if / when Dems force them to jump through every procedural loophole like Rs did during the 2024 lame duck?

The Senate calendar in an election year is always challenging, and with so many competitive races (and some Rs running for governor), it could be very tough for John Thune to consistently keep the numbers to confirm Trump's judges, especially the whackos.

I still have a Mark Teixeira broken bat from when he played for the Orleans Cardinals on Cape Cod, signed by the whole 1999 team, not because I was a particular fan of his (then or later) but because as a middle schooler, Cape League players were as cool as it got. And now he’s ruined it.

Judge Bove has issued another opinion, this time in dissent. You decide if he's improving.
