    Two senators who chose to "retire" rather than lose re-election. And one giant ogre who doesn't realize his future is the same.

    It's almost beautiful.

        Counterpoint: Redcaps, though maybe not, because redcaps have slightly better reason to kill and do so incredibly ineffectively compared to dems.

    Her dress looking like a combination of Palestinian and trans flags is really odd given the context

      Besides being known as a spoiler of progressive action in the Senate, notably for voting down $15 minimum wage, Kyrsten Sinema was declared to be the first bisexual congress member.

      The colors looks like this flag to me. I'm not sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_fluidity

        Yeesh...not all representation is good representation, I guess.

        Also I'm not seeing that flag, personally. And in fact, looking at the dress more closely I see there are five colors (black, white, light pink, dark pink, teal) but no repeating pattern. Okay, well technically there's a repeating pattern, but it's quite long (D=dark pink, L=light pink):

        W T L B
        D T L W
        B T L W 
        D B T L

        you can see it repeat the first nine colors again, and it just happens that the photo really does capture the last stripe of the dress (confirmed with another Getty photo).

        We can also see the colors in a lot higher fidelity compared to the C-SPAN stream which shows that any similarity to palestine-heart was just an artifact of video compression. I'll admit my eye for color isn't the best, but the light pink and blue seem to unambiguously be the shades from flag-trans-pride. The deep pink looks like the color used in flag-bi-pride to me, but it's missing the shades of purple and blue and that doesn't explain the black stripes at all.

        idk why I got so fixated on this...just neurodivergent stuff, I guess

    What a terrible tragedy that depression lost its battle with John Fetterman

    Look at all the fascists clapping in the Senate. It is a deliberate choice to stand next to Sinema and Manchin. If kamala-coconut-tree wins, look forward to Fetterman being the spoiler.

    Everything is absolutely deliberate when it comes to optics.
