Every Senate Dem. should vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. No self-respecting Democratic lawmaker who takes his or her responsibility to their constituents and the constitution seriously can vote for this despicable Trump/Musk power grab CR. Why should Dems roll over and play dead when they were completely cut out and presented with a shit sandwich? Why give Trump a bipartisan imprimatur to gut the government?
WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly.
"Tort reform" is just a bullshit scheme to relieve corporate America of it's obligations when it hurts people. Almost every argument for it is either misleading or a flat out lie. This is entirely for rich people at the expense of everyone else.
If we take seriously our mission to keep Georgia the best place to live, work, and raise a family, we have to get off the sidelines and get to work on passing meaningful tort reform this year.
Our state has a long history of party dissenters on both sides and I cannot recall an instance when a former constitutional officer was expelled from their party
MEDIA ADVISORY:
Geoff Duncan having been formally expelled, we ask that you refer to him as “expelled Republican Geoff Duncan” or “ousted Republican Geoff Duncan” when you go to him for quotes trashing President Trump and the Republican Party. @AJC@CNN

ESPN’s College Football Playoff punditry seems to be showing favoritism toward the SEC, but it is really showing favoritism toward the art of the “take.” (via @38Godfrey) https://t.co/oVAMyb00pi
I can only speak for myself but, yeah, I've done all I can to tune out all of the doomsday hyperventalating at every quote and/or action of Trump. It's going to suck, but there's no telling how much or in what precise way so just go try to find some joy somewhere
@ThomasGoldkamp Not sure the where the line is between those two but I don't think it requires a great imagination to see this flaming out spectacularly. Hell, the AD and Chancellor are at each other's throats already and he's not on campus yet. I'm getting popcorn.
After much negotiating, Bill Belichick will be North Carolina’s next head football coach.
Expect Belichick’s salary to be significantly higher — possibly double — that of Mack Brown:

How much longer before this kind of wishful thinking dies?
He wasn't moderated by the institutions 8 years ago. He wasn't reigned in by DC establishment.
Also, in case it wasn't obvious, there were no droves of disaffected Republicans or wives secretely voting for Harris.
"Some of [Trump's] nominees are so ghastly they could be salutary. They might jolt the Senate, united in nausea, into a declaration of independence. Which is what Madison, the Founders’ best mind, had in mind." -- @GeorgeWill

Not for nothing, but I don't know anyone in the party who wants her to step down. Nikema is pretty popular among the rank-and-file and helped build the party to being competitive over the past 25 years.
News: I’m told Sen. Jon Ossoff has asked Rep. Nikema Williams to step down as chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia, per two sources familiar with the senator’s request. A spokesperson for Ossoff did not respond to a request for comment.
A source close to Williams said she reached out to Ossoff and asked for a phone call after she learned he told other people he would ask her to step down. The same source said Williams is not considering resigning at this time.
Williams is under fire from Georgia Democrats—including nearly a dozen who lost their state House races and the Young Georgia Democrats—who blame the party’s underperformance on poor fundraising and party leadership. Although Vice President Harris lost the battleground state four years after President Biden flipped it, Williams’s allies point to the 70,000-plus more votes Harris received than Biden.
Ossoff is up for reelection in 2026. More TK.
Exxon's CEO warned that rollbacks to U.S. climate policy will make the future "that much more challenging.”
“I don’t think the challenge or the need to address global emissions is going to go away,” he told us. https://t.co/gUSVAiFGl5
