Senator Graham not only rose to Kavanaugh’s defense, he called out his Democrat colleagues on the committee for the disgusting charade they had performed in the attempted assassination of

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has died suddenly at the age of 71. He served four terms in the U.S. Senate from South Carolina from January 3, 2023 until his death on July 11, 2026.I will remember him as a U.S. lawmaker who, in my view, betrayed not only the United States but also many of the principles he claimed to stand for. I will not mourn someone whose public record I view as being marked by support for war, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and policies that I believe caused immense suffering.Here are my reasons:

History will remember Keir Starmer as “the man who smashed the left”, says Diane Abbott. Starmer’s purge of the Labour left saw Jeremy Corbyn expelled from the party, Abbott herself suspended and several MPs blocked from standing as Labour representatives in the 2024 general election. This month, Starmer said his proudest moment in office was axing the two-child benefit cap – almost two years after he suspended seven backbenchers who voted to scrap it.
