  1. All hail the spineless cowards.
    ☑️ Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
    ☑️ Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)
    I wonder what quid pro quo they're getting from the MAGA douchebags to bend over for Trump.

    Congressional Republicans are such colossally unprincipalled losers.

  10. Fast-forward to today, and it is genuinely entertaining to watch Thomas Massie and Rand Paul be foil—however inconsequential—to Donald Trump's plans for stupid taxes and wars. However, it may be only a matter of years before the #GOP dispenses with the two men. Here's hoping then as a silver lining that Americans would finally break their two-party addiction. There should really be, like, nine parties, not two. (2/2)

  14. "#WilliamPaul, the 33-year-old eldest son of #US #Senator #RandPaul (R-#Kentucky), launched into an expletive-filled #antisemitic and anti-#gay rant at a popular #CapitolHill bar on Tuesday night.

    According to eyewitnesses, including #Rep. #MikeLawler (R-#NewYork) and a reporter from #NOTUS, William #Paul approached their table at the #TuneInn bar and identified himself as Sen. Rand Paul’s son. What began as a political discussion quickly escalated into a roughly 10-minute drunken tirade.

    Paul reportedly said:

    “This war, it’s all about the #gays and the #Jews, and I hate them both, and I don’t care if they die.”

    He also told #Lawler “your people” would be blamed if Rep. #ThomasMassie loses his primary, then clarified “your people” meant Jews."

  16. The vote was the latest test of lawmakers’ support for the unpopular #war since #Trump threatened last week to destroy Iran’s “whole civilization.” #Democrats have forced votes on 3 other #WarPowers resolutions since the war’s start, all of which have failed.
    
Wednesday’s #vote failed 47-52, with Sen #RandPaul (R-Kentucky) joining Democrats to support the resolution & Sen. John #Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) voting against it. Sen Jim Justice (R-West Virginia) did not vote.

  20. Boy, you know things are topsy-turvy when #RandPaul is the voice of reason! smh

    "Paul calls Mullin a liar with anger management problems who lacks the temperament to lead the troubled Homeland Security Department that is at the forefront of Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

    " 'Tell it to the world why you believe I deserved to be assaulted,' Paul said on Wednesday as he gaveled the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to order.

    " 'Explain to the American people why they should trust a man with anger issues to set the proper example for ICE and border patrol agents.' "

  22. The 8-7 vote sends #Trump's #homeland pick ‌to the #Republican-controlled full #Senate for a vote, where #MarkwayneMullin will only need a majority to be confirmed. The committee vote was mostly along party lines, with the exception of Republican Chairman #RandPaul, who voted against Mullin, & the ever disappointing Democratic Senator #JohnFetterman, who voted in support.

  24. Senator Rand Paul's hearing of Secretary of Homeland Security nominee Markwayne Mullin brilliantly exposes Mullin's violent temperament and why he should not head the Departmant of Homeland Security (an illegitimate agency in its own right).

  27. #Senate #Republicans rejected a #WarPowers resolution Wednesday that would have required the #Trump admin to seek congressional approval before continuing #military action against #Iran. #Democrats & legal analysts have criticized Trump for #US military involvement in Iran without approval from #Congress. The vote was 53 to 47, with GOP Sen #RandPaul (KY) joining Democrats in voting to advance it & dipshit Sen John #Fetterman (PA) joining Republicans in voting against it.

  28. The #Senate will take an initial vote Wednesday on blocking #Trump from ordering further strikes on #Iran, offering the first test of #Congress’s support for a campaign that Trump launched without its consent.
    #Democrats — & Sen #RandPaul (R-KY) — are forcing a vote on #WarPowers over the opposition of most #Republicans…. Democrats are imploring a handful of Republicans to break with their party to end the conflict & reassert Congress’s control over declaring #war.
