Lisa Murkowski is only in the Senate because her dad was a Senator and appointed her when he won the Governor seat.
Then despite trailing in the polls, she won her last election due to the Ranked Choice Voting scam.
Now she opposes Voter ID too.
Alaska deserves better.
A US senator killed a 28 year old woman, left her to drown, spent zero days in jail, and then served 40 more years in the Senate. 57 years ago tonight. Almost nobody remembers her name.
57 years ago tonight, July 18 1969, on a tiny island called Chappaquiddick that most Americans could not find on a map, the most infamous car accident in US history happened while the entire world was staring at the sky waiting for men to walk on the moon.
Senator Ted Kennedy left a cottage party for the "Boiler Room Girls," the young women who had worked themselves to exhaustion on his brother Bobby's campaign the year before Bobby was shot, and he drove off with 28 year old Mary Jo Kopechne around 11:15 pm. He said he was taking her to the ferry.
Instead the car went off the Dike Bridge, a narrow wooden bridge with no guardrail, and flipped upside down into the black tidal water of Poucha Pond. Kennedy got out. Mary Jo did not.
And here is the part history never forgave: he did not knock on the lit up house just yards away that had a phone, he did not call police, he walked back to the party and then he went to bed.
He reported it roughly 10 hours later, the next morning, only after two fishermen had already found the car and her body. The diver who pulled her out, John Farrar, said she had likely survived for a while inside an air pocket and might be alive today if anyone had simply called for help that night.
Two days later Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, and so the greatest achievement in human history shared the front page with a drowned woman and a senator who waited until sunrise.
The punishment for all of it: a guilty plea to leaving the scene, a two month suspended sentence, not a single day served. He kept his Senate seat for 40 more years until he died in 2009, one of the most powerful men in the country.
Strip away the famous last name and you are left with something painfully simple. A young woman trusted the wrong man to drive her home, and he chose himself.
Say her name tonight. Not his. Mary Jo Kopechne.
This dude had Hunter Biden’s hard drive for three months, yet he let the country endure a sham impeachment instead. Then he sent his agents to raid the president’s home in Florida.
He had the 2020 election server and knew
the election was stolen.
He had Huma Abedin’s laptop.
He had Seth Rich’s laptop.
He had Jeffrey Epstein’s files.
He also lied to Congress about January 6.
Christopher Wray is a disgrace and must be held accountable.
We started bombing Iran at the end of February, almost 5 months ago, so my question is this: How TF do they still have the capability to launch ballistic missiles at our bases in the Middle East?
Explain it to me like I'm five.
After voting for him twice, I've come to the conclusion I was wrong and yes, George W. Bush is a swamp creature. I was wrong. But what choice would I have had. Al Gore? Not a chance!

"I have never, ever, since I managed, ever told a pitcher to throw at anybody, nor will I ever.
And if I ever did, I certainly wouldn’t make him throw at a f–king .130 hitter like Lefebvre or f–king Bevacqua, who couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a f–king boat.
And I guaran-f–king-tee you this:
When I pitched and I was going to pitch against a team that had guys on it like Bevacqua,
I sent a f–king limousine to get the c–ksucker to make sure he was in the motherf–king lineup because I kicked that c–ksucker’s ass any day of the week.
He’s a f–king motherf–king big mouth, I’ll tell you that."

Hey @bariweiss, when Biden admin announced China obtained 40 million of Great Britain’s publicly available voter files @CBSNews covered it seriously. But when DJT announced China got 240 million of Americans voter files your team dismissed like it was no big deal. Why?

Imagine living in a time where the President of the United States has to beg the Senate to pass an election security bill, the Save America Act.
But here we are.........
I’ll tell you why…but it’s gonna make you angry:
Because the Texas government chose to raise YOUR property taxes… so they can give massive property tax breaks to these rich corporations that just moved here.
Total betrayal!
