42. We should preempt that
Sat Mar 21, 2026, 01:01 PM
Saturday

We already dont have a majority. All keeping him accomplishes at this point is allowing Trump to pretend he has bipartizan support. And tying up committee positions that could be held by a democrat.

If he wasn't on the Senate homeland security committee this last week, Markwayne would have failed to advance out of committee.
