“Democratic Senator John Fetterman” isn’t a true statement anymore. Can we just start calling him an independent?
I really don't understand how a stroke and observed behavioral changes isn't grounds for removing a sitting senator. Like I get it, margins or whatever. He *really* shouldn't be there anymore.
Fetterman has been disappointing at times, but he IS basically a blue dog democrat. Go back 10+ years. Cabinet positions weren't routinely held up by the Senate. As long as a nominee wasn't an ax murderer or a convicted traitor, they were typically confirmed without much fuss....

On the bright side, this may just put a long needed end to dhs.
The bar is so low you don’t even have to be literate
More like an open bar and porterhouse steaks. This bitch gets to go wild with our tax dollars now.
Except being completely unqualified.
One sycophant for another
Still a shitty job and seemingly shitty across administrations. Why would he leave his cushy safe Oklahoma senate seat for this garbage?
