Murkowski Calls Out Her Colleagues For Abandoning Their Constitutional Duties

Domestically any GOP politician will be primaried for not going along to get along. That is probably the least of their worries as, having allied with Putin, more permanent arrangements are in store for anyone not cooperating. Threats abound; and not just from MAGA.

The Leopard Eating Faces Party would not eat Senator Murkowski’s face by gutting Medicaid would it?

Oh my, it would.

Sorry if someone already posted this in the MM

I don’t understand how a FL county judge, who was holding Gomez-Lopez’s US birth certificate in her hand could turn this kid back over to ICE.

ETA: He’s now been released, but still…why did the judge hand him back to ICE when she had his US b/c in her hands?

sweeping cuts to “Medicaid coverage for vulnerable populations.”

I thought everybody on Medicaid constitute a vulnerable population by definition. But I don’t have a copy of the official GQP dictionary.

I think they mean “populations of vulnerable GOP incumbents.”

And like those in the military senators are serving their country as well. They take the oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Most senators probably never imagined that taking a stand involved putting their life on the line but it does and here we are at that moment. Time for some courage.

Didn’t she run the last time as an I?

Also

Does lawfare or just security catalog these allegations? Of threats against officials by the regime. I want to hear how the protection racket is being run. I want facts, man, facts! Without facts. And the regime is now rewriting history to change public perception, for the benefit of their ideology and to protect TSF? I’m just asking questions here…

. “Balancing the federal budget must not come at the expense of those who depend on these benefits for their health and economic security.”

What’s with these assholes. The only time they give a shit about “balancing the federal budget” is when a D is in the Whitehouse. And then it’s only about cutting social services. Their shit can never be cut.

What about bronzer? Can one use bronzer?

No… She did run and win as a write-in candidate in 2010, when she lost the Republican primary. But she did not need to change her party affiliation to do so.

Her most recent reelection was under new election rules which appears to be a jungle-type primary among all candidates, and then a ranked-choice general election between the top four… so her main opponent was also Republican but neither had to change their party affiliation.

Unfathomable that our tax dollars are being used to pay El Salvador to imprison a wrongly accused man.

Just a poor misunderstood white boy
Florida State University shooter espoused white supremacist views: Report

"Basically our only role was no Nazis (colloquially speaking) and he espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric, and far-right rhetoric as well, to the point where we had to exercise that role," NBC News quoted Seybold as saying.

Suspected Florida shooter is son of local deputy, used her gun. What to know.
Lucas Luzietti, a politics student who shared a class with Ikner at a community college in Tallahassee, was horrified to see his old classroom antagonist was the suspected shooter. But he said he was not surprised.
According to the Florida native, Ikner touted right wing conspiracy theories and hateful ideas. Among them was a theory that President Joe Biden illegally came into office, “Rosa Parks was in the wrong” and Black people were ruining his neighborhood.

“I remember thinking this man should not have access to firearms,” Luzietti told USA TODAY. But, “what are you supposed to do? His mother was a cop and Florida doesn’t have very strong red flag laws.”

Red flag laws allow people concerned over someone in crisis to petition a court to remove their access to guns.

Ikner made it clear to the class that he had guns, the Tallahassee State College student said.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — In Gov. Ron DeSantis’ State of the State address on Tuesday, he made it clear that he wants to do away with Florida’s red flag law.

The law, enacted in 2018 and signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott, came after the 17 lives lost in the mass shooting in Parkland, and 49 people were gunned down at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

Vietnam fast-tracks approval for Trump resort in mad dash to stave off tariffs: report
“Vietnam, which has a surplus of more than $120 billion with the U.S. and saw tariffs on its goods rise to 46% on Liberation Day, shows how anxious countries are to stave off the duties,” the Journal reported. "It recently closed a $300 million financing deal to buy a fleet of new Boeing jets. It pushed through the authorization of Starlink, the satellite internet service owned by Elon Musk, a close Trump adviser. And it accelerated the approvals for a $1.5 billion Trump resort."
