“…President Putin even used my very strong campaign motto of ‘COMMON SENSE.’…”
 

Senate votes to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence​



“… The vote was 52-48 mostly along party lines, though Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky joined Democrats in opposing the confirmation….

… McConnell appeared to reference some of Gabbard’s positions in a statement he released after voting against her, saying she has “a history of alarming lapses in judgement.”

“The nation should not have to worry that the intelligence assessments the President receives are tainted by a Director of National Intelligence with a history of alarming lapses in judgment,” McConnell said. …”

Mitch is facing apparently significant health issues (he’s fallen twice recently and has to be moved around via wheelchair) so maybe in a rush to make his peace with some higher power ….

She's utterly worthless, imo. She only seems willing to vote against her party when they already have enough votes to win, so her opposition is meaningless. But when they actually need her vote she always seems to fall in line. I really hope some Democrat is able to take her out in 2026.

I don't see how she can possibly win if current trends continue. Tillis and Collins were always likely to lose in a polarized mid-term election where Dems are angry and comprise the majority of high turnout voters. But with economic ruination approaching, they might as well not run.

If inflation hits 8%, which is looking increasingly likely (it's at 5-6% now), with increasing unemployment and cuts to social services, there are a lot of Pubs whose safe seats are going to be a lot less safe than they think.
 
It is ironic that Mitch— once the ringleader of Republican obstructionism— is now the only Pub voting along with Dems to prevent insanely unqualified cabinet nominees from landing the positions for which they are nominated. To whatever extent he’s grown a conscience, it’s too late now Mitch. You fucked us. Over and over.

Wake me up when Mich casts an impactful vote that breaks with the Republicans.
