A lot of people are asking “why hide McConnell’s state? Not like a Dem would win the special election?”
If McConnell vacated before August 3rd cut off it’d be a special election and any one can register as an independent…
Including Massie.
Which would split the Republican vote, giving him or maybe even the Dem the chance at the plurality.
But, if McConnell’s seat is not vacated before the 3rd by legally stepping down or a signed death certificate, then it’s too close to the next election and rules prevent a special election which bars any new registrations at this point.
With McConnell’s wife having travelled to China AFTER he was hospitalized, the next of kin isn’t available to sign off and so the bar for ending life support is extremely high (would require full brain stem death, which is not present in some patients who are never coming back)
So all they have to do is drag their feet until August 3rd, then tell you that he didn’t make it.
And in turn block Massie from disrupting an otherwise safe Republican seat.
Just like that fucking old turtle would have wanted.
I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security.
Will you join me?🤚
@MayBSweetT@TheTNHoller@CentralChurchNC I’m with you. I had a very good priest that kept me attending until 19. Unfortunately, the Vatican was moving backward not forward. It still is when it comes to women.
PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

President Biden: Americans never bow. We never bend. We never break when confronted with crisis. We endure, we overcome, and we always, always, always move forward. We are America, second to none, and we own the finish line.
In a world that is more divided than ever, our values are always worth fighting for.
On this 250th celebration of our country, let’s come together and work hard to build a better tomorrow.
Happy July 4th, Michigan 🇺🇸
Happy 250th birthday, America! We got you a present. 🇺🇸
The red, white, and blue stars of this globular cluster shine like a sparkler waved on a dark night in this image from @NASAHubble, released in celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary.
I was 16 years old when I came to America alone.
My parents believed in this country before I even knew what it meant to be American.
It took me 17 years to become a citizen. A premature daughter. A green card nearly lost.
And then: a ceremony in Seattle. Hundreds of us. Flags in our hands.
In that moment I understood that America was not a gift. It was a promise. And promises require someone willing to fight for them.
That is what I have done every day since. That is what I will keep doing.
Happy 250th, America. ❤️🤍💙
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, at a May hearing, said the people who trafficked girls with Epstein 'may be among us,' still operating. He wants the government to name them and release the interviews and video from Epstein's properties. Nobody has been charged.
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, ESSENCE is honored to unveil the first magazine cover of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic career.
As the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court, there is no better moment to celebrate her extraordinary legacy. Ketanji Brown Jackson represents the American Dream and serves as a powerful voice for those simply seeking the God-given birthrights promised to every American.
We are proud to feature her on the cover of this special double issue of the newly reimagined ESSENCE magazine. Be sure to pick up this historic collector’s edition when it hits newsstands.
It's weird to me how trump never lets go of a grudge, he still bitches about Obama, Biden, Hillary, and even Rosie O'Donnell for some reason.
He never says a word about any of the people who supposedly tried to assassinate him.
Nothing. Weird.
Rep. @Justinjpearson (TN-9 candidate): “If it’s us vs. the billionaire class profiting off our pain, my bet is on people power every time- If the Republican Party is the party licking the boot of the billionaires, let us be the party of the working class.”
