Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

That fool resigned from Congress so he could be AG. For him to drop out of consideration after throwing away his career in Congress they must have some real shit on him.
To be fair, he's already been elected to the 119th Congress, so he can still take the oath on January 3rd.
Yeah looks like he isn't going to

My understanding is that he resigned in part to dodge the release of the ethics report. He thought he had the AG position locked in and knew that if he left Congress, they'd stop investigating him (since it was an internal rather than criminal proceeding). That just makes me think even more strongly that there must be some totally wild shit in that report.
Hopefully a dem will sack up and release what they've got. Not holding my breath on that tho
When they go low we go high
They definitely will not.

If any of it gets leaked, it will be from some staffer that will IMMEDIATELY be fired and blackballed, maybe even charged with some nonsense
Nobody in Congress really gains from it and many of them stand to lose everything if ethics inquiries start going public
The last time a congressperson tried to leak dirty laundry like that, they immediately busted out the gay underage incest kompromat like the next day lmao.
We are never finding out what was in that report.
"The Muller Report will get Trump this time bro just trust me bro we'll see results when Epstein gets investigated bro like bro the January 6th. Commission will find all of Trump's lackeys guilty you just gotta trust the process bro like the democrats are a serious institution bro and if we vote hard enough they'll stop fascism trust me bro and..."

It must be nice to live in a fantasy land the way they do lol
Sooo... snap election? What's the GOP's margin again?
I don't know how it works in the house but if a senator leaves the governor picks their replacement.
It's completely up to the states. A lot of states have snap elections for Congress. Many states have the same for Senate, but the governor appoints an interim senator.
