Tillis was pushed out from running again. McConnell is not running again but placed Thune in the position. Collins is up for reelection this year. If McConnell votes against Thune then it taints his leadership role in the future. McConnell could no vote or no show like he always does rather than vote against Thune. we need 1 more no vote if so and JD can break the tie of 49/49. these republicans should find another citizenship for them and their families if they vote against American! We should have zero tolerance for treason

partial government shutdown is coming. this means coast guard is no longer funded as currently configured in peace time because they fall under Homeland jurisdiction. Keep in mind that Trump signed an invasion EO, a national emergency EO, and terrorist designations. If Coast Guard is no longer funded under regular order with these emergencies, Northcom kicks in and their funding falls under military budget. Where is Coast Guard jurisdiction? 200 miles from navigable shoreline. Postal jurisdiction fills in the tiny area of the Country not covered by Coast Guard.
