With 15 months to go until the 2026 midterms, that’s a record number of lawmakers announcing their exit this far ahead of the vote. @npr digs into why the exodus is happening and where these politicians are going next.

During his time on the #Senate #ForeignRelations Cmte, #MarcoRubio praised the #State Dept’s annual #HumanRights reports. In 2012, he said “the world has been a better place [for 2 centuries] because America has strived to defend these fundamental human rights both at home & abroad.”
Senator #MarshaBlackburn of #Tennessee announced on Wednesday that she would run for #governor, less than a year after winning another term in the #Senate.
Blackburn, a loyal ally of #Trump & a hard-line #conservative #Republican, joins a cluster of other lawmakers, including Senators #TommyTuberville of #Alabama & #MichaelBennet of #Colorado, who have chosen recently to run for office in their home states rather than remain in Washington.

A refusal by #Texas lawmakers to show up is a civil violation of legislative rules. As for his threat to remove the lawmakers, #GregAbbott cited a nonbinding legal opinion issued by #Republican TX #KenPaxton amid a partisan quorum dispute in 2021. Paxton suggested a court could determine that a legislator had forfeited their office.
Paxton, who is running for US #Senate, said… #Democrats who “try & run away like cowards should be found, arrested, & brought back to the Capitol immediately.”

The #Senate has confirmed former #FoxNews host #JeaninePirro as the top federal prosecutor for the nation's capital, filling the post after #Trump withdrew his controversial first pick, conservative activist #EdMartin Jr.

The so-called pillars of government, its institutions, have utterly failed to stop a team of domestic enemies of the Constitution that is fronted by a 34-time convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, using terrorism, blackmail, and threats to get their way. Not the House. Not the Senate. Not the Supreme Court. Not even the vaunted US military, authorized to operate on US soil against Americans, stands against the mob of fascists gleefully only following orders from their Project 2025 manifesto, brutalizing citizens and guests alike, based on their lies and their fabrications the corrupt American mass media failed to challenge, and in most cases, assisted in spreading.
Utter failure. A turn to fascism in mere months. No institution was up to the challenge. None of them.
We will have hyperinflation soon. Thank the institutions of government and all of the mass media Lords and Ladies.

In 2019, #Trump was charged by the #House with #AbuseOfPower & #obstruction of #Congress for his attempts to pressure the #Ukraine govt to investigate Joe #Biden. 2 years later, he became the first president to be impeached twice when the House charged him with inciting an #insurrection during the #Jan6, 2021, Capitol attack. The #Senate acquitted Trump both times [many Republicans voting to do so out of fear for their lives & the lives of their families], so he was never removed from office.
”Senate Republicans tried to bully Democrats into expediting nominations to fill out positions in their increasingly authoritarian state. They failed.”
-Sen Murphy
Trump posted on social media:
Chuck Schumer can “Go To Hell.”
He must know that his time in the WH is coming to a close, soon.

AP News · Senate heads home with no deal to advance President Trump’s nomineesThe Senate is leaving Washington Saturday night for its monthlong August recess without a deal to advance dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees. The chamber is calling it quits after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Trump posting on social media that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer can “GO TO HELL!” Without a deal in hand, Republicans say they may try to change Senate rules when they return in September to speed up the pace of confirmations. Trump has been pressuring senators to move quickly as Democrats blocked more nominees than usual this year, denying any quick unanimous consent votes and forcing roll calls on each one.

#CPB said its end, 58 years after being signed into #law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, would come in an “orderly wind-down.” In a statement, it said the decision came after the passage through #Congress of a package that clawed back its #funding for the next 2 budget years — about $1.1 billion. Then, the #Senate #Appropriations Cmte reinforced that policy change Thurs by excluding funding for the corporation for the first time in >50 years as part of a broader spending bill.
