    Ever since the longtime Federalist Society leader helped create a conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court, and then received more than a billion dollars from a wealthy Chicago business owner to disburse to conservative causes, Leo’s next moves had been the subject of speculation.

    Kevin, yo.

    The California Republican promised right-wing holdouts that he would deliver a budget that balances within 10 years. But he also promised not to touch Social Security and Medicare. Republicans are likewise committed not to allow cuts to defense spending and veterans’ pensions, nor to allow the Trump tax cuts to lapse.

    The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office ran the numbers on those promises at Democrats’ request, and the results are in. To keep all those pledges, Republicans would literally have to eliminate everything — everything — else the government does. No more Homeland Security, no more Border Patrol or FBI, no more Coast Guard, air traffic control or federal funds for education or highways, no agricultural programs, no housing, food or disaster assistance, no cancer research or veterans’ health care, no diplomacy or space exploration, no courts — and no Congress.

    Defund the police? This is defund America. Even then, Republicans would still be in the red after 10 years.

    Senate Ethics admonishes Graham for campaign solicitations
    By MARY CLARE JALONICK
    Yesterday

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Ethics Committee is admonishing South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham for soliciting campaign contributions inside a federal building after a Nov. 2022 Fox News interview in which he asked viewers to donate to a GOP candidate.

    Graham violated Senate rules and standards of conduct because he was in a Senate office building when he did the interview, the leaders of the ethics panel said in a rare public letter released on Thursday.

    “The public must feel confident that Members use public resources only for official actions in the best interests of the United States, not for partisan political activity,” wrote Senate Ethics Committee Chairman Chris Coons, D-Del., and Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, the panel's Republican vice chairman. “Your actions failed to uphold that standard, resulting in harm to the public trust and confidence in the United States Senate. You are hereby admonished.”

    Coons and Lankford wrote that Graham solicited campaign contributions for Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker's campaign committee “five separate times” during the Nov. 30, 2022 interview on Fox News. They noted that Graham reported himself to the committee after the interview was over.

    In a statement Thursday, Graham said: “It was a mistake. I take responsibility. I will try to do better in the future.”

    It is unclear if Graham could face any criminal penalties for his actions. Coons and Lankford said this was the senator's second violation, after he similarly solicited campaign contributions for his own campaign during an unplanned hallway interview in 2020.

    The ethics committee dismissed that complaint and notified Graham in a private letter, Coons and Lankford wrote. The panel did not publicly reveal that violation until now, having determined at the time that his conduct was ”inadvertent, technical, or otherwise of a de minimis nature," the letter said.

    The prohibitions on campaign solicitation in federal buildings and the use of federal resources for campaign activity “have been consistent and clear throughout your years of Senate service,” they wrote, and Graham solicited the campaign contributions in the November interview “despite the Committee’s specific guidance following your violation in October 2020."

    Keep fighting the good fight Republicans.  You've managed to open up another front on the culture war that excites your base, but center right, center and left citizens oppose your actions.  You can add this to that big winning issue of Abortion that you've clung to for so long.  Way to read the room.

    Remember on Sesame Street when you had to guess which of these doesn’t belong….

    Pro life
    pro gun
    pro death penalty

    pro god
    anti gay 
    anti trans 

    Can someone with these beliefs please explain to me how it’s possible if they’re so contradictory?
