Mullin leaving the senate race this year leaves that seat wide open for a new player in the game. We could see house republicans resign to step into the race, leaving those seats open, or newbies who have already been in the campaign taking stronger hold.
Whoever is appointed CANNOT run in the next election, Oklahoma law requires a temporary appointee to file an oath affirming they will not run as a candidate for the office when it next appears on the ballot. This could change the scenarios above and impact who is appointed.
- If he wants the seat, Stitt can resign, Lt Gov Pinnell becomes governor (term limited) and appoints
- If he wants the seat, Lt Gov Pinnell can resign, Senate Pro Temp Grassley becomes governor and appoints either or neither…
Here’s what happens in Oklahoma when Mullins is confirmed and some potential scenarios:
Mullin won a special election in 2022 and was up for re-election this year.
There is no special election, when he gets confirmed > Stitt (term limited) appoints replacement through end of term this term...
Don Lemon "ransacked a church". Good and Pretti were "violent domestic terrorists", and somehow Obama joined forces with Cuba, China and Italy to rig the 2020 election.
If only they treated actual problems with the gravity and seriousness they do with their lies...
I think it’s time to make people wait in a physical line at box offices to get tickets. This is getting out of hand Ticketmaster!
If I charged my hourly rate for the number of wasted hours spent on Ticketmaster presales, they would owe me so much money.
Total domination does not allow for free initiative in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totali- tarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.u
This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:
Somehow it doesn’t make me feel better that the president “had no idea what we are talking about” regarding this text message debacle. He’s the fucking president - if he doesn’t know about this, what else is happening in his administration and with his cabinet that he doesn’t know about?
Beyond the national security implications, the cavalier nature in which they discuss using weapons of mass destruction and the way they speak of our European allies in those messages is a MASSIVE risk to our diplomatic relationships. @marcorubio.bsky.social should be outraged.
Pretty obsessed with these @elfbeauty.bsky.social ads pinned all over at @sxsw.com. So. Many. Dicks.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that
If this were play’d upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.
Instead of rolling the price of tariffs into the cost of the goods, my brilliant idea of the day is that small business owners should add a “Trump Tariff” to receipts. For Democrats, we will see it as an act of resistance, and for Republicans it will force them to face their own decisions. #FAFO

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson
When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
Where is Michaela Coel? I miss her.
What’s the deal with Taylor swift and Ice Spice?

Imagine being SUCH A LOSER that the only way you can chair a board is to be elected president of the United States and then remove everybody on the board only to install yourself. What. A. Loserrrrrr.
Build the next great public building or park. Donate your homes to charity to turn into a world class museum. You don’t have to save everybody but you can substantively improve the lives of so many while losing absolutely nothing from your own. I cannot wrap my head how individualistic we’ve become.
Getting richer, hotter, and more powerful, contributing to the class inequality to deepen the divide and having freak offs. Do they consider legacy? Do they care about what they leave behind? Cause you sure as shit can’t take it with you so what do you want to mean to this world when you’re gone?
Rather than leave this earth as the smartest man who transformed earth for the better and improved the lives of so many, I decide to become a real life disney villain instead. What happened to Carnegie millionaires who build historic libraries across the country? Our billionaires spend their time…
As a three time cancer survivor, I spend a lot of time thinking about legacy. What do we leave behind when we are gone? What will people say about us? What mark did you leave on this earth? How did you spend your time? I can’t fathom becoming the worlds first trillionaire and…
We have to uproot the healthcare system and it starts by creating an alternative. If government can’t do it - the people must.
Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.
Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .
Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?
Thoughts ?
When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve
