Summary
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) warned Republicans against opposing Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as attorney general, stating that MAGA supporters would target their jobs if they break ranks.
Tuberville defended Trump’s right to choose his team, urging senators to “vote with President Trump.”
Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress, is a divisive figure within the GOP, having faced FBI and House Ethics investigations over alleged misconduct.
Some Republicans are openly concerned about the nomination and are deliberating their next steps.

That is NOT true!
There’s nothing legal we can do about it, but that not the same thing.

You realize I’m mocking the cosplay army who use that line, right? That that’s why they call themselves “3 percenters”.

Hoping you’re wrong and his mandate fades quickly and he becomes an ineffective lame duck as early into this upcoming term as possible.

I bet on incompetence
It’s our primary hope
Mmm. Arguable thus far. He can’t get another legit election run so no one has any reason to back him past what they need to complete their goals.
I’m not gonna hold my breath but it’s not a certainty yet.
On the Harris🤎Cheney issue, I think it’s notable that the Harris turnout was actually quite large in many places, but the trump turnout was larger.
I can’t remember what media I was doomfully consuming, but someone basically said Dems should not try to court Republicans to vote… because even if it works, they’ll arrive at the polls and vote Republican.

I’m not aligned with Kinzinger but I don’t really see the kissass vibes. I think he remains as principled as ever but he is acknowledging the new conditions of the game.
Nothing in that hill article involves sucking up to trump.
He says Rubio’s not the worst pick. Which is true.
Rubio is another far right extremist who pedals and conspiracy theories and is beholden to Russia. What’s the fucking difference?
Do we know if he also fucks children?
I think the difference is that Rubio is cosplaying as MAGA but guys like Gaetz and Hegseth are true believers. Suggests that Rubio might have some personal limit to what he will do to help Trump.
