Bingo. She won her seat back as a fucking write-in, so she owes The Party nothin’.

Murkowski also had no Republican help in her election (they wanted someone else) so her revenge on everyone is total and complete

But wait wait wait wait, it DID backfire! Zinke threatened Alaska without remembering that Murkowski controls the DeptInterior’s purse strings.

I have an insane amount of respect for Murkowski in this as other colleagues (Heller) folded with barely a fraction of the bullying she got from Trump. She got the personal Twitter call out and her whole state is getting punished. (In a normal world that would backfire but in this one?) And she also got a lot of sweet…

A big reason McCain is getting the accolades is because he disrupted his surgery recovery to vote to begin this 3-ring circus. I’ll never forgive him for that. This mess didn’t need to happen.

For all his talk I thought for sure Lindsey was going to show a little backbone.

You should begin with a challenge, and then a choice, and then an outcome, and then an ask.

“If senator TubbyDucks would like to resolve this matter, he’s free to cash me ousside.”

This is one of those times I want to hear the classic non-apology, “I’m sorry if you were offended. I should have used my words better.”

My fever dream is that Collins can convince two other of her Senate colleagues (Murkowski? Graham? Sasse?) to become independents and caucus with the Democrats for the sole purpose to restoring some balance of power and giving one chamber of congress the power to investigate the executive branch again. But of course,…

Susan, Susan, Susan.....face it—-these are not your people. If you can’t face being a Democrat, team up with Angus and Bernie and be an Independent.

“Some of the people that are opposed to this, there are female senators from the Northeast... If it was a guy from South Texas, I might ask him to step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style,”

Oh, and I said this in another spot, but trust that Justine would be livid about the difference in narratives about a blonde white lady victim vs. a black man victim. If she had more melanin, I reckon she’d be getting called an immigrant in the first line of most of these stories.

More Justine fun facts:
She referred to herself as “Juzzy Wuzzy” (her maiden name is/was Rusczyk) whenever she was talking about “woo woo” stuff.

I liked it better when The Onion was a satirical paper, instead of a prediction engine.

Justine was a dear friend who was horrified about police violence and committed to making the world better in every way. She had just picked out her wedding dress last week and was so excited to show me. She was texting me trying to get me to go to “dance church” with her on sunday morning, but instead I went to a…

If you see something, say something.

If you are a skittish, nervous, risk-adverse person, do not become a police officer.

When Trump sent his tweets trashing Mika & Joe, the thing I found most offensive (it was all inherently gross and petty) was that Mika was in mourning, having just lost her father - a lifelong American statesman - 2 weeks earlier. This was rarely discussed, but a perfect example of how ruthless Trump is, without any…

My wife and I have a dishwasher magnet, and no joke it has solved a lot of marital strife. It may sound minor, but the damn light on our dishwasher was not enough for us to tell when it was clean/dirty. And after enough times of squabbling about who did/didn’t do the dishes, and who messed up the clean dishwasher, we…
