Where’s David Hogg?

Reminder: the only reason Musk is ā€œleavingā€ is because if he stayed any longer, he wouldn’t be classified as a special government employee and would be subject to disclosure rules for federal employees. I doubt he’s actually going anywhere.

Found some of that voter fraud.

So he’s either ineligible for his seat or he committed voter fraud. Who is holding him accountable?

No one, because we hold the GOP to different standards…

Reading that article, that is not the kind of story that usually has a very pleasant ending. It doesn’t sound like he’s likely to survive long enough to finish his term, if he keeps on this trajectory.

First Amendment? Never heard of him, is he new?

It’s so fucking stupid because that law will never, ever be implemented, even if it were to make it through the Senate, which it won’t. How about they do their fucking jobs instead of wasting time on clearly unconstitutional legislation. And I don’t mean Republicans. They’re a lost cause at this point. I mean those 5 Democrats. Although, I suppose it’s a good way to identify people David Hogg needs to focus on primarying.

ETA: Gottheimer is running for NJ governor, but he’s currently way behind other Democrats in the polling ahead of the primary. He’s a member of the Blue Dog caucus, so he’s a centrist/conservative Democrat.

Moskowitz is the only Democrat to join the new DOGE caucus in the House. 'Nuff said.

Morelle is a member of the New Democrat Coalition caucus, which seems to mostly be the ā€œI’m fiscally conservative but socially liberalā€ bullshit caucus.

Don Davis is also a member of the New Democrat Coalition, was the only Democrat to co-sponsor legislation to limit Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices, and supported the Laken Riley Act.

Gillen is a new member of Congress, and is also a member of the New Democrat Coalition, and opposed congestion pricing in Manhattan.

Other than Morelle, who is 68, these Congress members range in age from 44 to 55, so these aren’t some old, out of touch centrist Democrats. These are young, out of touch centrist Democrats. And I hope they all get primaried to oblivion in 2026.

House Republican Botches U.S. Geography While Defending Trump’s ā€˜Gulf of America’

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) said President Donald Trump was right to rename the Gulf of Mexico the ā€œGulf of Americaā€ because, she said, Mexico has been polluting the gulf’s water near San Diego.

San Diego, of course, does not touch the Gulf of Mexico, but the Pacific Ocean, which is about 1,500 miles away.

There’s a nonzero chance she thinks San Diego is in Texas…

Well if she does that wouldn’t be completely wrong…

Although it’s still a good 60 miles from the gulf.
