Sinema leaves the Democratic party; registers as Independent (she’s not seeking re-election.)

So creepy.

By June 2024, Mr. Ammel had stopped wearing his wedding ring. The complaint alleges Ammel told his wife “it was best for ‘public optics’ so it wouldn’t look like Defendant was putting her hands on a married man when they were out at concerts and various other public events.” There are no flags red enough for this.

Ironically, as shared in the Fetterman thread here in P&E, the problems with him seemed to start with him not taking drugs.

Fetterman said he “didn’t follow up” because he thought “losing weight and exercising would be enough” to address his heart issues. He admits he was wrong, saying that the stroke he suffered was “completely preventable” and that his doctors have told him that if he had “continued taking the blood thinners, I never would have had a stroke.”

Dr. Ramesh Chandra said he first saw Fetterman in 2017, when he reported having swollen feet. He said he diagnosed him with “atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, along with a decreased heart pump.” Although he advised him to follow up in the coming months, the doctor said Fetterman did not and “did not go to any doctor for 5 years and did not continue to take his medications.”

I assume this was a joke, not a serious suggestion, but again, the irony is that if Fetterman had been taking the drugs his doctors told him to take (among other ignored medical advice) he could have avoided the stroke which caused a brain injury.
