The Senate is a dynastic monarchy I guess.

@micsolana @mattyglesias You won’t be hearing from Matt - he doesn’t have an answer.
English
@mattyglesias the models are trained on enormous volumes of generally left-wing writers (journalists and pundits like yourself, wiki entries, academia), and outputs are fine-tuned to not be "harmful." yes, safety architecture inherently leads to bias. which of course you know and want.

Right-wing wave in Europe.
France 🇫🇷: Marine Le Pen now leading polls to be next President.
Austria 🇦🇹: the Freedom Party is leading the polls massively at almost 40%
Germany 🇩🇪: The AfD party now consistently number ONE in polls.
Norway 🇳🇴: The Libertarian FrP party leading the polls by a wide margin.
Something is changing in Europe.

So a Senate seat is now straight-up family inheritance passed to the dead senator’s sister. Remind me — how are we supposed to be better than a third-world kleptocracy or banana republic?
Nancy Mace@NancyMace
I wholeheartedly support the President in his recommendation. What a wonderful idea!

@farzyness Flew United to Milwaukee - Starlink both ways. Incredible.

Guys I think I'm gonna fly Frontier exclusively from now on.
WOW!
Brilliant play by them.
I'm SHOCKED!!!

Frontier Airlines has announced that it will be introducing SpaceX's @Starlink WiFi across its entire fleet of 1,000 aircraft (including other Indigo Partners portfolio airlines). Frontier plans to launch its first Starlink-equipped aircraft in early 2027 and will be the first US airline to offer passengers access to Starlink’s high-speed internet through a new system managed directly by Starlink. “Starlink will provide our portfolio airlines with reliable, high-speed connectivity, further enhancing the customer experience of flying on Wizz, Frontier, Volaris, JetSMART and Cebu,” said Bill Franke, Managing Partner of Indigo Partners.

@danbostic You demean yourself, Dan. She is a three months interim appointment. There are many, more egregious examples of this. Mr. and Mrs Dingle have occupied a seat since 1955!
English
I don't get this at all
Lindsey dying was tragic but who is this person and what intersection of the constituency does she represent that qualifies her to execute this role?
Not mad but why are we giving government seats to family members of politicians who died?

Gov. Henry McMaster has appointed Darline Graham Nordone, the younger sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, to serve the remainder of his term.
English
@PowerOwn45 You really have to look a little deeper into this. It is a 3 month interim appointment. She’s not running in November. Relax.
English
What is this Micky Mouse nonsense? It’s a damn Senate seat, not the special porch swing at the family reunion.
English
@mexigreekmom74 @jeepgirlfreedom Graham’s sister is appointed to a 3 month interim stint. She’s not running. I really don’t understand why all the fuss.
English
@jeepgirlfreedom It’s corrupt and shady in my mind. No matter who does it. Why have we allowed it on the dem’s side for so long.
English
So I guess when they finally admit McConnell is gone, they’ll appoint his wife as his replacement? This is what we do now. Give seats to people who will do the bidding of the swamp. We are not a serious nation anymore. We are a banana republic.
English
@lisachristinect Why? It’s a 3 month interim appointment. She won’t run in November. Relax.
English
This is happening way too often.
The Senate is not the House of Lords.
You don't inherit a Senate seat.
It's the people's seat, not the Graham family's seat.
English
Are you sure about this iq level? It doesn’t take a high iq to google search.
Governor appoints someone to TEMPORARILY serve the remainder of the term.
Also, if we are talking about qualifications, see below for what qualifies someone to run for senate.
• At least 30 years old.
• A U.S. citizen for at least 9 years.
• An inhabitant (resident) of the state they represent when elected (interpreted as at the time of taking the oath for appointees).

This seems pretty crazy: Just handing over a U.S. Senate seat to a completely unqualified SISTER of the senator who just died? Shouldn't voters have a say in this? Or are we back to "royal bloodlines" now?
Nancy Mace@NancyMace
I wholeheartedly support the President in his recommendation. What a wonderful idea!

@HealthRanger If Trump does this, he'll hand over Mitch's seat to the wife. In spute of our rules abd regs.
English
@HealthRanger You serve yourself up as smart in your bio. This is anything but smart.
English
So we’re passing seats in the senate to family members? No elections, no voter choice? 😂🤣 Quite the democracy.

@JamesTate121 Sweden is a nightmare due to unprecedented illegal migration. Check it out. Hint: you wouldn’t want to raise a daughter there.

Joe Biden outlasting the very people who weaponized his age is a top-tier plot twist. I love that for him.

@BraddrofliT This is a lie, easily debunked. What do you gain by lying?

This is because Mark Ruffalo is a really good actor and Rob Schneider is not.
