Sinema is free to become an “independent” and avoid being primaried in 2024 by a real Democrat, but Arizonans are also free to vote for a real Democrat then, and not for Wall Street.

NEW: The GOP candidate for Oregon's 6th Congressional District sued his Democratic opponent for defamation. Oregon law says that if a candidate defames another & it changes the outcome of the race, a new election must be held. The trial will start Dec. 20. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/oregon-court-to-hear-republican-defamation-case-related-to-congressional-race/

“You can’t lead the people unless you love the people. You can’t love the people unless you know the people. And you can’t know the people unless you walk among the people."-- Sen. Raphael Warnock https://america.substack.com/p/good-governance-matters

Kyrsten Sinema single-handedly stopped Democrats from ending a tax break for hedge-fund managers and private equity executives.

Meanwhile, she received ~$1 million in donations from Wall Street.

Don’t be fooled: Sinema isn't “independent.” She's beholden to her donors.

It’s hard to find the girl of your dreams when you’re an insomniac.

When I'm in charge, anybody who genuinely uses the phrase 'unskilled labour' to describe a job will have to do that job for 24 hours. The moment their performance slips below professional standards, the clock is reset.

Given how no skill is involved, this shouldn't be an issue

I ordered a chicken and an egg online.

I'll let you know.

A few more bits on Paul Whelan:

The Marine Corps released Whelan’s service record, showing that he was convicted in a 2008 court-martial on charges related to larceny.

He joined the Marine Reserves May 10, 1994, and was an administrative clerk and administrative chief. He rose to the rank of staff sergeant in December 2004 and was deployed in the war against Iraq for several months in 2004 and 2006.

How about this idea: Once Katie Hobbs is sworn in as AZ governor, Biden appoints Sinema to a cabinet position & then Governor Hobbs appoints a DEMOCRAT (Ruben Gallego, perhaps?) to fill out Sinema's term?

In late 2018, Trump released Abdul Ghani Baradar, one of the top leaders of the Taliban, along with 5000 other Taliban fighters, in exchange for... *checks notes*... nobody.

Paul Whelan was arrested in Russia in December 2018.

Donald Trump was president until January 20, 2021.

🚨🚨🚨 WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. H*LL.

Please boost to get the word out and call your Senators and MOC tomorrow. This can't be ok.

The DOJ getting frustrated with the Trump team over returning classified documents has asked a federal judge to hold them in contempt. I would think charging obstruction might be a better use of their time.

When objects are overlapping, it’s handy to use Tab to select shapes. Pressing repeatedly cycles through selecting objects. This works in Google Slides, Google Drawings, PowerPoint, and Keynote.

And to drive home that point, the Founders included the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment -- to ensure that no religion could be legally mandated, federally or in any state.

"Religious liberty" doesn't mean you get to impose your religion on everyone else. Quite the opposite.
