Wow. What a dick.
Vance is a prick that defies description. My mother said this is the main reason she hopes Trump doesn't die while in office. I still hope he croaks off soon.

After much consideration, I’m running for High Bailiff of Windsor County — not out of political ambition, but because this office matters. It’s a constitutional safeguard that ensures accountability and continuity in all forms of government. 1/4

I may be more progressive than Speaker Pelosi, but I’ve always had a lot of respect for her. She’s a unique leader, and I miss her tough approach in the Democratic caucus. Jefferies just doesn’t measure up to her. Wishing you a happy retirement, Madam Speaker.

Senator Welch is someone whom I like very much, and I have a great relationship with him. However this is not a wise move.
For the first time in Trump's second term, a Democratic Senator has voted "Yes" for a Trump appointee to a lifetime seat on the federal courts.
Hope you're sitting down for this. It was our very own Peter Welch.
