"We have a behavioral problem," McConnell said in a speech after receiving an award from the Kentucky Electric Cooperatives at the group's annual meeting. "People are acting out and it's not, I don't think, limited to one ideological place or another. You've just got a lot of people engaging in bad behavior."
...
"You read stories of young people, incentivized I think by the faculty actually on college campuses, who don't want to hear anything they may disagree with," he said. "It might upset them to be exposed to a point of view that they don't always subscribe to — being brilliant, of course, and knowing everything at 18. I think that's troublesome."

Ok so, the liberals are unironically being called "degenerates", and now continuing with all the pseudo-psychological babble, "people are acting out" 

Bonus points for infantilizing the opposition as well.

Well, you knew this wasn't a call for more civility.  It's a call for coming down on younger protesters with hobnail boots.

Well, this is nice to see.  Amazing how it has to be a campaign promise instead of "of course we'll do that."

Also, unrelated, Nebraska is opening its drivers license database to the feds, which even Kansas wouldn't do.

I'm already imagining how Ted Nugent (or whatever other fascist the GOP nominates in 2028) will use what she creates against black folks, queers, and labor unions.

It has been obvious for months that she was running interference for Warren, really.

If I were a betting man, rather than a holy man™, I'd say 5:3 against.  Warren will pick a man as VP, because this is America and it's 1972.

Well, yeah, but that would ALSO put two senate seats up for grabs, instead of one.

And right now, all the long term damage is being done by the GOP senate.

Joni Ernst shits the bed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An outside group founded by top political aides to Sen. Joni Ernst has worked closely with the Iowa Republican to raise money and boost her reelection prospects, a degree of overlap that potentially violates the law, documents obtained by The Associated Press show.

Iowa Values, a political nonprofit that is supposed to be run independently, was co-founded in 2017 by Ernst's longtime consultant, Jon Kohan. It shares a fundraiser, Claire Holloway Avella, with the Ernst campaign. And a condo owned by a former aide — who was recently hired to lead the group — was used as Iowa Values' address at a time when he worked for her.
