But ultimately history will judge him as the guy who refused to convict Trump after Jan 6th in the Senate and allow him to run for president again.
Mitch McConnell is almost uniquely attentive to his legacy among U.S. senators, and his votes against Patel, Gabbard, Hegseth and (presumably) RFK can be read as his understanding that history will regard those picks extraordinarily poorly.

The U.S. Left's cynicism and laughter at all of these things occurring in the U.S. government, which will impact everyone else around the globe, are not helpful. None of this is funny. The suffering people are already experiencing and what is to follow is insurmountable. Solutions or just stop.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

"White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender....How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?"

Lest you assume that by “bipartisanship” he means Republicans should cross the aisle to check Trump, we saw what he means with the significant Democratic support for the disastrous Laken Riley bill. He means surrender. And so he should step aside for a new leader.
It is time to look to the future.
The challenges that face America are many and great.
The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.

The media has focused on wealthy, White neighborhoods. But the fire in Altadena--a racially and economically diverse suburb--deserves more attention, because insurance may not cover their rebuilding costs, forcing families out and leading the neighborhood to gentrify.

That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

The assertions come nearly three years after nurses at the Worcester hospital settled a strike with the hospital’s for-profit owner, Tenet Healthcare, a battle waged in part over staffing levels.
