Am I crazy or didn’t he announce a while back he wasn’t seeking re-election? Or maybe it was just so widely assumed that I made up that he’d actually announced it.
God, how the fuck do you tell when these fuckers in the Senate are actually going to do stuff? I googled “Patel hearing” earlier today and got nothing, I looked at senate.gov and this is what they said they were going to do:
Thursday, Feb 20, 2025
10:00 a.m.: Convene and resume consideration of S.Con.Res.7, An original concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.
So I was like OK, cool, no Patel vote today, so I leave orders in the market on Polymarket and go about my business, later I google Patel vote again and it’s like NBC News: LIVE: PATEL VOTE HAPPENING NOW and I am 3 minutes too late to prevent that stupid bitch Susan fucking Collins from costing me like 1K. Extremely tilted.
Looks like the latter. Nobody thought he was running again just didn’t announce it I guess?
Gonna be annoying when dems get beshear to run for the seat, it gets massive attention as oh boy the dem could totally win in red land and he still loses by 10 points. He doesn’t want to be senator really but basically if he doesn’t run, that’s why. He knows.

It’s rare it’s not the next day after the move it to the floor vote. which I believe for patel was last night so vote is today.
Is there somewhere that tracks this information? Like I thought by googling “Patel” I would get the info if the vote was going to be next day, but apparently not.
the patel to the floor vote was reported in the mainstream news last night
The vote is going to be the next day most of the time after that move it to the floor vote thing they do first, gabbard’s got pushed another morning but it’s usually the next day sometime after that vote happens. Now you know.
Alright, thanks. That was an expensive lesson.
Read it, it’s long.

I’m just imaging a SWAT team rolling into halftime of the Homecoming football game in my small town to break up the Powderpuff game and haul everyone off to the slammer.
Gonna be illegal to watch John Waters movies before long.

Florida is suing Target for selling LGBTQ-friendly merchandise, something the state is misleadingly calling “efforts to sexualize children.”
You’re probably thinking: Wait, doesn’t the First Amendment stop the government from doing things like this? Doesn’t Target have a First Amendment right to sell goods broadcasting whatever perfectly legal messages it chooses, and don’t individual Americans have a First Amendment right to access those messages?
The answer is a resounding: of course . But Florida authorities don’t seem to care, so long as they get to perform concern for children.
How do they get around that? They pretend that they’re deeply concerned about Target’s stockholders and the risk of selling merchandise.
I don’t see the transparent runaround of the First Admendment going anywhere, but it scores them points
It won’t go anywhere, but there’s a significantly nonzero chance Target will just cave and take all the lgbtq stuff off the shelves in FL just to avoid the nuisance of defending the suit, which of course is a win for the GOP. Meanwhile 20 other states follow.
This is a setup for the Purge imo.
Yeah and even if they don’t, every other major retailer is watching. You don’t actually have to win. Something something chilling effect.
In this day and age. I can’t believe this. A trans broad prejudiced against Italians.
