This is Tom Kean

He was absent from Congress for months. He missed over 100 votes. During his absence, he continued collecting his salary.

    That is hardly the worst on the list for this guy.

    Anti-choice, anti-medicare, broken ethics pledge and actively trading stocks, he will physically dodge reporters to avoid having to state his opinion, supports ICE, etc, etc.

    Best case scenario he just disappears forever.

    His seat is on the ballot for November.

    Edit: his competition also only flipped to D because of Trump, so she sucks too. Just a lot less.

    What the…

    Are we all sure the Epstein class hasn’t started the next leg of our slide into cyberpunk dystopian hell by prepping a McConnell clone and the reason they’ve been out of office so much is the time spent preparing for the brain swap?
