1. I was proud of Duckworth and disappointed in Durbin.

I support both of my senators (no alerts for Democrat bashing, please!), but I think Durbin should think about retiring after this term. He's up for reelection in 2026, and he'll turn 82 a few weeks after the election. Time to let someone else have a turn, imo.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
