Kentucky Republicans have tried to take away Governor Beshear’s ability to appoint Mitch McConnell’s replacement. Beshear says he’s considering ignoring the state legislature and appointing a Democrat to replace McConnell anyway.

He profits when Americans can’t pay their bills.
BREAKING: Stunning new reporting just revealed that defense contracting firms connected to Donald Trump's sons, Eric and Don Jr., have netted $3.2 billion in Pentagon contracts. This is brazen corruption. The American people deserve answers.

It's precisely because Sen. Graham was so steadfast in opposing authoritarianism abroad that Anne's piece (written before Russia's renewed 2022 attack on Ukraine) focuses on his incongruent unwillingness to oppose authoritarianism here.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Trump in 2016:
“Typical Trump. All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. This is a guy who said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.” @Acyn
Marco Rubio on Donald Trump in 2016: “I will never stop until we keep a con man from taking over the party of Reagan and the conservative movement.”

Be careful what you post against the surveillance state, Elon will suspend you like he did us. That’s the world they want; to watch and monitor all of your activity… to be your judge and jury. How easy would it be for you to be erased on a billionaire’s whim?
Iran has launched attacks on Bahrain, the UAE, and Qatar, in an escalation from previous responses to US strikes.
