"Almost resigned" is a long way away from "resigned," which would require a good deal more from Don Bacon, who announced months ago he won't seek reelection. However, he did say "he's interested in serving in an executive role down the road, and wouldn't rule out running for Nebraska governor, or even president in 2028" (bacon.house.gov). Hahahahahahaha.

Some people better get fired on Monday for the gross buffoonery we just witnessed over the last four days. This hurt our country and undermined our alliances, and encouraged our adversaries.

This is blatantly false.

As Secretary Rubio and the entire Administration has consistently maintained, this plan was authored by the United States, with input from both the Russians and Ukrainians. x.com/nickschifrin/s ...

It's like that time I almost asked the prettiest girl in my high school to prom. She didn't almost say yes, though. :(
