Now taking suggestions for a new last name (serious) leave any and all ideas below

IMO, this #HRDerby was good because of Jordan Walker, not the new rules. A bad process can produce a good outcome, and vice versa. I think the timer created more excitement and on average allowed for more impressive individual performances, like Vlad’s and Julio’s.

For how terrible Cuellar can be, credit where it’s due, fooling Trump into thinking he was gonna retire or switch parties to get a pardon only to file as a Democrat literally the next day was genuinely a top tier troll

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appoints Lindsey Graham’s sister to serve remainder of his Senate term.

[Eric Michael Garcia @EricMGarcia]

That South Carolina Class II Senate seat had some....interesting folks:

1. John C. Calhoun (Probably the most racist Senator in history, and that's saying something)

2. Benjamin Tillman, who led a paramilitary group against Reconstruction, defended lynching, raised a stink about Theodore Roosevelt inviting Booker T. Washington to the White House.

3. Strom Thurmond, who famously set up a piss bucket so he could deliver a 24-hour long filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957, who switched parties out of opposition to civil rights and who fathered a Black daughter out of wedlock.

and

4. Lindsey Graham

Politico reporting that the SC governor is leaning toward announcing Graham's sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to replace him, as Trump wants him to as well. https://t.co/h7v3pobcAI

[Sean @TheNumberGuru]

that just shows how old the Senate is though, which is the issue! Yes, there are worse examples, but he was running for another six years, by which time he would have been 77.

71 should be among the oldest working people at any company. The fact he wasn't in the top 20 is wild

[John Bresnahan @bresreports]

The tragic death of Lindsey Graham isn't a "The Senate is full of old people" issue. Graham wasn't among 20 oldest senators (some of whom will be elected to new offices while even older.) I'm not sure he was in oldest 30. Just a bad take

[Nick Field @nick_field90]

Graham was the quintessential Trump Republican. He fought Trump when he feared Trump was taking the party away from its anti-tax, pro-war foundation. When Trump warmed up to that, he submitted himself completely. He tried to move on after 1/6, but folded again under pushback

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

Lindsey Graham always wanted to be the in the mix, when that meant trying to cut bipartisan deals, he tried to cut bipartisan deals, when that meant hugging the president, he hugged the president

[Macon Atkinson @maconatkinson]

Scoop: Ralph Norman says he'll make an announcement in DC Tuesday about running for former Sen. Lindsey Graham's seat. Also told me he spoke to the president and asked for his endorsement: https://t.co/dzUOo2qtqk

[Kevin Baron @DefenseBaron]

I’m sure the entire national security community feels somewhat like Adam, here.

Pre-Trump Graham was one man, standing alongside John McCain.

Trump-era Graham was another — a shape-shifting opportunistic politician barely recognizable to the first.

@EricC_2002 @DrewSav It's actually seven without Thurmond!

* John Calhoun
* Franklin Elmore
* Josiah Evans
* Benjamin Tillman
* Alva Lumpkin
* Burnet Maybank
* Lindsey Graham

[Lyndon Baines Johnson @lyndonbajohnson]

Graham had held the seat since 2003. And Thurmond before him since 1956. The only two in 70 years.

[John Bresnahan @bresreports]

With Nancy Mace saying she would get in SC race for senator to replace Graham, here’s the GOP gubernatorial primary last month. Mace only got 12%

[Ethan C7 @ECaliberSeven]

Getting ready to watch the worst Senate primary campaign in South Carolina history.

[Bayliss Wagner @baylisswagner]

Per South Carolina state law, this is the timeline for replacing Lindsey Graham on the November ballot:

-Filing period opens July 21 (2nd Tues after his death)
-Closes July 28
-Special primary Aug 11
-Runoff, if necessary, Aug 25

[Sean @TheNumberGuru]

I (incorrectly) thought Strom had died in office too bc he was 100 at retirement, but the last elected person to hold the seat and simply retire before him was James Byrnes in 1941

(also kinda strange how many Senators lost re-nomination in the late 1800s/early 1900s)

[Sean @TheNumberGuru]

Noticed this last night and it is eerie. And the other seat has had lots of death too! Idk what’s up with SC pols

[Drew Savicki @DrewSav]

Lindsey Graham is the seventh person to have held South Carolina's Class 2 Senate seat that died in office.

[RedditCFB @RedditCFB]

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Lindsey Graham, the prominent Republican senator from South Carolina died after a “brief and sudden illness,” his office said. He was 71. https://t.co/ZfRFkz4Iv9

[Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024]

The death of Lindsey Graham is by far one of the most recent shocking high-profile deaths in US politics.
