Congress could, and should, ban this. Impose the same rule nationwide as some states already have: if an incumbent doesn't file for reelection by the deadline, the window to file gets extended a week or two.
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though itβs quite literally the original incarnation.
Fwiw Mullin is one of the wealthiest members of Congress www.yahoo.com/news/senator...
Cβmon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is βspecial military operation.β Not all of you are getting this right.
If Mullinβs nomination hits turbulence, Trump can just remind senators that he can keep on Noem until her successor is confirmed. No senator wants that.
Kristi: from Noem to Nemo
"I respect Bernie Sanders because he's an open socialist, and you know that he's a communist so you know what you're getting. Rand Paul's a freaking snake. And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did. And I told him that to his face."
This is what Markwayne Mullin said about Rand Paul a couple weeks ago.
Anyway, guess who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee
Markwayne Mullin in a white cowboy hat (and otherwise business attire)
Mullin is misusing βhumbling,β as far too many do. But it may well turn out to be the right word.

Editors: when running copy about Markwayne Mullin please word your headlines more carefully than here!

If memory serves he also fired Comey mid-speech
If confirmed, Mullin would be the first cabinet secretary who tried to fight a union leader at a Senate hearing

"It's not a war"' Representative Randy Fine, Republican of Florida, snapped as he made his way to the House floor on Wednesday, employing some tautological reasoning. "The way you are officially at war is Congress declares war, and we haven't declared war"
Congress hasnβt declared war on anyone since World War II. Thatβs why we call it the Korean Not-a-War, the Vietnam Not-a-War, and two β wait, three β Persian Gulf Not-Wars.

Just last fall, when Dem Rep. Chuy Garcia engineered something similar in Illinois, the House formally voted to rebuke him.
So, will the Senate do the same to Daines? If anything, his offense is worse. Garcia schemed over one of 435 House seats. Daines did this for one of just 100 Senate seats.
Great list. My list would also find room for:

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they canβt imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.
A small federal agency reviewing Trump's ballroom has received tens of thousands of public comments.
More than 97% oppose the project, per WaPo analysis.
"I did not vote for this," one 3x Trump voter wrote.

@gchernack.bsky.social our favorite Onion headline yet again
Not to be confused with the Republican congressman from Montana who suddenly announced two days ago that he wouldnβt run again, or the Republican governor from Montana who, when he served in Congress, bodyslammed reporter @benjacobs.bsky.social because he didnβt like a question.
