Doubling down on public violence, and suggesting Senate duels and canings just like in the Good Old Days of the 19th Century (when the honor code-exploiting Southern Senators used physical #intimidation and #violence to silence Northern Senators about slavery) is not would expect from an 21st Century US #Senator though if I did I would absolutely expect their name to be something weird like #MarkwayneMullin .

ICYMI, #Oklahoma #Senator #MarkwayneMullin challenged the President of the #Teamsters #Union to a fight during a #Senate hearing yesterday.
What's the matter, Mr. Mullen? Did your little brain crash and your mouth run out of things to say? The Senate is not an #MMA ring. If you feel you're a better communicator via your pugilistic skills instead of brain power and the art of oratory, you should go back to doing what you were doing before you became a US Senator.

Can someone tell me if I'm #hallucinating today or not? Did a #USA #senator really challenge a witness in a #Senate hearing to a rumble?!
WTAF is WRONG with Americans!?
I think my man #Bernie did a decent job of keeping ol' Pummelin' #Mullin at bay in the #Senate today. After repeated chastisements -- "You're a United States #Senator!" -- and giving him more than enough rope to hang himself, he finally cuts him off and moves on to someone else.

THE POWER OF ONE IDIOT
One US #senator can hold up military nominations .
Leaders in the majority can get around this by holding a series of votes to move a measure and dispense of the hold.
This voting on approximately 260 military nominations through the regular procedure would take 27 days with the Senate working all night or 84 days if the #senate worked eight hours a day.

"They have to be eradicated" Marco Rubio's answer to Israeli and Palestinian conflict
U.S. #Senator Marco #Rubio (R-Florida) while on #CNN called for the #genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. He declared they are “savages” and “must be eradicated”.
Jack Tapper, who was interviewing him, gave no pushback at all on these comments. The U.S. elite class is increasingly detached from reality and any sense of the word “morality”.

These military leaders are being forced to endure costly separations from their families — a painful experience they have come to know from nearly 20 years of deployments to places such as Iraq & Afghanistan.
All because of the actions of a single #senator.
Any claim that holding up the promotions of top #officers does not directly damage the #military is wrong — plain & simple.
The #senator asserts that this blanket & #unprecedented “hold,” which he has maintained for >6 months, is about opposition to #Defense Dept #policies that ensure #ServiceMembers & their #families have #access to #ReproductiveHealth no matter where they are #stationed.
After the Supreme Court’s decision in #Dobbs…, this policy is critical & necessary to meet our obligations to the force. It is also fully w/in the #law, as confirmed by the #Justice Dept’s Office of #Legal #Counsel.

Someone needs to wack this goober with a waffle iron. It is the height of irresponsibility for a #Senator to block essential #military promotions because he doesn't like one of the military's policies. It's unthinkable that he would endanger the American military, and the nation in an attempt to force leaders to fulfill his irrational, ignorant, and narcissistic demands.

Senate examines role of ‘dark money’ in delaying climate action
The #Senate #budget #committee held a hearing on Wednesday morning to scrutinize the role of oil- and gas-linked “#dark #money” in delaying climate action – and tearing through local and federal budgets.
The hearing was led by #Senator #Sheldon #Whitehouse of Rhode Island, who has held 10 #climate #crisis-focused hearings since he took the helm of the budget committee this past February
Committee Democrats invited three witnesses. First to the stand was the Harvard history of science professor #Naomi #Oreskes. “Climate change is a market failure, and market failures require government action to address,” she testified.
Fossil fuel interests’ efforts to disrupt climate policy had come at great expense to the US, including not only financial costs, but also human suffering and lives lost, said Oreskes, who has written several books on oil industry misinformation.
#Christine #Arena, former public relations executive at the firm Edelman who now works in social impact film-making, and who was also invited by Senate Democrats, drew comparisons between the fossil fuel industry’s decades-long misinformation campaign and how the tobacco industry tried to cover up the harms of smoking.
“Just like the tobacco executives before them, [fossil fuel executives] characterize peer-reviewed science and investigative journalism that illustrates the extent of their deceptions as biased or inconclusive,” said Arena, who is now the founder of Generous Films.
#Richard #Painter, professor of corporate law at the University of Minnesota Law School who was chief White House ethics lawyer under George W Bush, was third to testify. A political independent, Painter said Americans should get on board with the push to end climate misinformation no matter where they fall on the political spectrum.
“This is not a partisan issue,” said Painter, who was also invited by Whitehouse. “This is about caring, and doing something about a grave threat to the human race.”
