Your thoughts on Senator Cornyn seeking reelection to 5th term in 2026 ? From what I've heard, Paxton is poised to launch primary challenge against him down here in my home state.That's what I'm saying.

Cornyn's not that old by the skewed standard of the US Senate, so it's no surprise that he's uninterested in stepping aside for Paxton. I think Paxton will have an uphill battle trying to unseat him in the primary. But does that mean Paxton is planning to give someone else his AG position in the 2026 election? Or can he run for both at once? If the latter, it would be funny if someone primaried him while he's trying to primary someone else.Your thoughts on Senator Cornyn seeking reelection to 5th term in 2026 ?

Cornyn hasn't lost an election ever since 1984.I'm a BIG fan of Cornyn getting kicked out of office. He's a RINO that needs to go.
That doesn't change anything about my statement. I've wanted him gone for decades.Cornyn hasn't lost an election ever since 1984.

Because the America last policies are always both Fuck us domestically and Foreign nations need our money more than us so shut up while we print more money. people have been getting screwed over for a long time and that means they want the domestic issues solved. the foreign policies are at best negotiable for them and usually are something that they don't know much about beyond what the news is blasting in their face at that moment.That's what I'm saying.

And focusing to much in domestic makes you weaker on the international stage hurting our economy....Because the America last policies are always both Fuck us domestically and Foreign nations need our money more than us so shut up while we print more money. people have been getting screwed over for a long time and that means they want the domestic issues solved. the foreign policies are at best negotiable for them and usually are something that they don't know much about beyond what the news is blasting in their face at that moment.
yeah and ignoring the domestic to send money overseas makes us brittle and weak hurting us internationally and domestically. so people prioritize what they care about. and at this point? that is Immigration and the economy as the number 1 and 2 issues. so those who speak about that will get more support. and when push comes to shove the base would when forced to pick between good on those two things but bad on foreign policy? they choose the priority.And focusing to much in domestic makes you weaker on the international stage hurting our economy....

A lot of said equipment we already have just... laying around rotting.It does need to be noted that for Ukraine specifically a lot of the price tag is the value of the equipment we send.
And the money that goes back to the US businesses to make more shit.
For accuracy's sake, 'a lot' here meaning roughly 70% of the monetary value sent was weapons and equipment*. That's a bit deceptive though as it wasn't until the April 2024 aid package that the US was imposing any kind of spending direction on the financial aid that was being sent so the proportions prior to that assuredly change (most prominent impacting that bars on it's being spent on non-emergency usages such as teacher salaries or pensions...the latter of which is probably the most concerning since we have entire states of examples here in the US of how those systems get gamed and manipulated and Ukraine undoubtedly approaches California or New York in its scale of corruption). Which I don't think is a thing anybody wants to defend and shouldn't have been happening from the beginning, but took until 2 years in for anyone in Congress to get to trying to wall-off from that kind of unaccountable divergence.It does need to be noted that for Ukraine specifically a lot of the price tag is the value of the equipment we send.

US citizens bought it.A lot of said equipment we already have just... laying around rotting.
That shit does have a shelf life, after all.
finally republicans are learning to fight backUnited States Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) has blocked the nomination of Danna Jackson, a Native American woman, who was nominated by President Joe Biden for a federal district judgeship, from consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Here's some details of why Daines is blatantly blocking Jackson:
Biden nominated Jackson back in April. Since then, Daines has held out the possibility of blocking Jackson's nomination because, according to the Senator, Biden "failed to seriously consult with me prior to making this nomination" but that he would evaluate her background & record to see if she was "the right fit for Montana."
Rachel Demke, a spokesperson for Daines, said in a statement released last Wednesday that the Senator reviewed 15 applications to fill the vacancy for the federal court in MT. Daines complains that the White House "never sought out his advice or choosing their nominee."
"Senator Daines believes confirming federal judges with lifetime tenure is among the most important decisions he will make and that these individuals must be trusted to not legislate from the bench and protect the Montana way of life," she said.
The White House fired back on Thursday. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement that Daines' team interviewed Jackson more than six months ago, but Daines refused to meet with her.
"This claimed lack of consultation seems to be little more than pretext, and it's shameful that Senator Daines is depriving Montana of the talents of a principled, fair, and impartial jurist like Danna Jackson, who would make history as Montana's first Native American federal judge," Bates said.
