If this man doesn't win, McConnell will not allow the Black lady to appoint any judges, even if Harris wins

If this man doesn’t win, McConnell will not allow the Black lady to appoint any judges, even if Harris wins. McConnell does not believe in letting Black presidents exercise the full authority of their office.
If you care about the courts at all, Tester must win.

A group of generous donors will 300%-match every donation made to my campaign through posts like this one until our FEC mid-month deadline—tripling your impact. Will you rush any amount to help us reach our goal and send this seven-fingered dirt farmer back to the U.S. Senate?

1. Mitch is too old and senile to serve. He needs to step down now.

[TommyT139]

3. True, yet

True, yet even if he left tomorrow, others are already emboldened and impervious to shame.

[Clouds Passing]

5. We must keep and expand our #s in the Senate (and the House and WH)

[TommyT139]

6. Absolutely.

[Wiz Imp]

24. True, but at least half of the Republicans in the Senate are even worse.

At this point, when McConnell finally steps down, odds are his replacement as Republican Senate leader will be even worse than him.

[Bettie]

32. True, however

the ones waiting in the wings are even more evil than he is.

[dchill]

35. But he's the Energizer Bunny of hate.

[Clouds Passing]

36. And obstruction

[CrispyQ]

2. Ruin Alito & Thomas' retirement: Vote Harris for President.

Yes, McConnell or whoever will be a shit. I'm kind of tapped out for political donations & I hate ActBlue but I can send a little bit.

[DFW]

15. Act Blue ain't my cup of tea either.

I send checks, so that the intended recipient gets 100% of my contribution, instead of only 92% when the contribution goes through Act Blue. Years ago, when I had a problem with Act Blue (their “make it monthly” box kept checking automatically against my will), they called me an idiot for not being able to fix it myself. The postal service may be slow, but they don’t take out 3.95% of every contribution I make, and therefore, nor does VISA or Mastercard take another, similar amount like they do when they process an Act Blue contribution. I’m sure Act Blue is very convenient for many, but they sure are not convenient for me, and candidates in close, big budget campaigns costing $10,000,000 or more. I sure as hell couldn’t afford to leave $800,000 to be split between Act Blue and a credit card company. That could mean the difference in getting those last few votes that mean the margin between victory and defeat.

18. Act Blue is also flooding the donation channels - it becomes counter-productive.

While they are supporting people I'd like to see win, the constant barrage of emails/texts that arrive because i've contributed before is horrendous. It's a turn off.

[DFW]

30. They share emails, addresses and phone numbers. They say they need to, but I hate it anyway.

Sometimes, I respond that I might be interested in contributing, but they first need to tell me exactly (and verifiably) how they got my phone/email/address. In 98% of the cases, that usually is the last I hear from that solicitor.

Every now and then, I connect my US phone, usually turned off over here, to the wifi in the house. It bings 175 times with how some generous billionaire will match my contribution up to 15 times, so they're pleading with me, etc. etc. I think that if half our Senators/Congresspeople knew what is being done on their behalf, they'd gag in disgust. Still, if their race is tight, they might justify any and all means to get desperately needed funds. I sympathize with their plight, but I still can't stand being hit with messages and emails every 30 seconds during campaign season. The phone doesn't ring here at all except if it's someone I know I gave the EU number to, or else the Democrats Abroad making sure I voted (I did, guys!).

[DFW]

31. As for Alito, there's this............

[wryter2000]

4. Donation sent

n/t

[krawhitham]

7. McConnell's days as Senate leader are over

Whatever MAGAt takes his place will do the same thing, but McConnell will not be running the Senate.

[Wednesdays]

11. "Whatever MAGAt takes his place..."

...will likely be WORSE.

[slightlv]

26. I thought he had already tendered his resignation date?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Donated--weekly.

[DFW]

9. I am maxed out to the man Joe Biden calls Big Jon

Plus I sent another check to victory fund. I have probably blown more than my gross salary this year in contributions to endangered Democrats. It doesn’t matter. I have saved up in anticipation. It looks like my first nervous assessment was not overcautious. Some have replied back in appreciation. Some haven’t even said a peep of thanks. As long as they win, I don’t care. Slotkin of Michigan even called once and left a message. I called back, left a message, and I haven’t heard a peep back. Rosen in NV keeps sending emails. So does Brown of Ohio. I’m only one guy fer cryin’ out loud. If you want more than I think I can afford, call me and tell me why.

I want to keep the Senate as much as anyone, but Harrison and the DSCC should have their tentacles out everywhere, and if they don’t have enough of them, go plead with Howard Dean’s wife, Judy, to borrow him from now to Election Day. Have SOMEone around who knows how to get this done.

McTurtle won’t be Majority Leader even if the Republicans end up with 51 seats. It will be either Thune of South Dakota or one of the crazies. If it’s one of the crazies, no judge to the left of Roland Freisler has a chance of being confirmed. The only reason Trump and Vance haven’t said that Freisler is their ideal kind of judge is because they probably have no clue who Roland Freisler was. If they did, they’d have his picture above their desks, circled with roses, freshened daily.

10. THANK YOU! PLEASE donate to Tester! We MUST WIN. It's NOT a lost cause, even here. nt

[Dan]

12. I hope that when Moscow Mitch dies

And goes to hell, the Devil is a Black man.

[Cherrycheeks]

13. The turtle

Is retiring.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Can't happen too soon! nt

[FakeNoose]

22. It's true that he won't run for another term, but he's hanging in to finish the current term

(Unless he croaks first) He's in the Senate until 2026.

[Blue Owl]

27. The turtle fossil, more like!

[ananda]

14. Ok, done!

I hope he wins!

[milestogo]

17. Send McConnell to Fort Myers FL right now!

[ornotna]

20. He's more of a Naples kind of guy

He'll fit right in down there.

[Fla Dem]

19. He already announced he'll step dowm in November.

McConnell will step down as the Senate Republican leader in November after a record run in the job

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history who maintained his power in the face of dramatic convulsions in the Republican Party for almost two decades, will step down from that position in November.

McConnell, who turned 82 last week, announced his decision Wednesday in the well of the Senate, the chamber where he looked in awe from its back benches in 1985 when he arrived and where he grew increasingly comfortable in the front row seat afforded the party leaders.

“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” he said. “So I stand before you today ... to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”

23. He'll serve out his term, he just won't run for Minority Leader again

Big whoop, we're stuck with him until the end of 2026.

[Fla Dem]

25. That's true, but he'll be a Senator with just one vote.

No other powers.

[ancianita]

21. I've already donated to the man twice. Now I'm surprised that Elie hasn't kept up with McConnell's retirement notice.

[Hekate]

28. How is it that he is still alive? He was extremely sick a few years ago -- in fact he looked deathly ill.

Lordy, what a toxic git.

[Thomas Hurt]

29. McConnell needs to retire or be replaced but you get rid of one fascist, five more appear.

[Jack Valentino]

33. McConnell is stepping down from GOP leader in November, so he isn't

going to "allow" anyone to do anything after that, nor prevent them from doing it either.

34. 100 bucks of my 75-year-old hardware store employee wages to Tester

37. Florida and Texas have potential

I know they seem like pipe dreams but Cruz especially could very well lose. Scot too.
