Sen Lindsey Graham of SC has attracted challengers who dislike his being a weathervane. However they have different opinions which way the wind is blowing. Dr. Annie Andrews is declaring for the Democratic nomination. She has a predictable set of issues to run on, except that as a pediatrician, she also says that "children's issues" are important to her. Hmm. In the primary, Andre Bauer, former Lt Gov of SC, seems to be rather predictable in his issues from the right as well, and is reportedly going to challenge.
Israel and Hamas both agree to Steve Witkoff's "general framework for a permanent cease-fire." We'll see, eh? Hamas is already backpedalling. I am liking the news I hear about the US Aid plan that bypasses the UN, and the growing(?) number of Palestinian families and even clans trying to bypass Hamas to get food.
Economics of Kinship. Evidence from US bans on cousin marriage. The problems are not just genetic. Cousin marriage reduces dispersion of population, which reduces opportunities for a variety of jobs and other life improvements like better land and better education.
Galiteuthis glacialis, the Colossal Squid, a type of glass squid has been seen and filmed alive in the wild for the first time, 100 years after corpses were first noticed by fishermen near the South Sandwich Islands. It is the largest invertebrate, but this one was a baby.
Razib explains how Germans are from Finland, Finns are from Yakutia. The only time you ever heard about Yakutz was playing Risk. But now that the connection between the Sami people (Lapland) and Native Americans has been established because of the Ancestral North Eurasians, references in genetics are popping up all over.
From Ann Althouse, who was on it in a flash. Sometimes the NYT and general legacy media just lie. This wasn't a different perspective, this wasn't reading the tea leaves in clever ways Known To But A Few. It was just a lie. Which leads to the question Why? What's in it for them? I don't want to keep seeing the same hands here.

I try to adhere to the ethical standard of minding my own business, and the Senator of another state isn't strictly speaking my business. Lindsey Graham is, however, very ripe for replacement -- and not merely because of his weather-vane status.
But honestly, aren't they all? There's not a one of them I'd miss.
Agreed.
I've no use for Sen. Graham, but he's not from my circus, and that makes him not my monkey.
Meanwhile, the monkeys who ARE from my circus know they are safe from meaningful challenge, so they continue to fail to do anything at all, as far as I can see.
