@Alfred If I sang “Who are you? (Who who, who who)” then asked where you woke up, what is the correct answer?

Everyone's always so negative about "virtue signaling", but if I don't perform those behaviors how will people know I'm better than them?

You are a turncoat; your infidelity is plain for all to see, you must resign. You no longer serve Arizona, you serve yourself and the 1%. Quit. Leave. Get out of office.

The time for action is now. Resign immediately and end the charade of an "independent" candidacy that has no chance and may well lead to Republican control of the Senate.

Do what is right for Arizona, for the nation, for the world. Quit.

Yet again we your constituents have been greeted with news that you are consorting with bankers, investors, and equity capital instead of listening to us. You've been denigrating the Democratic Party in meetings, selected by Republicans as the only palatable replacement for Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Judiciary committee (because you will tank Biden appointees), and are being out-fundraised by your Democratic opponent.

Weekly letter to Senator Sinema #politics https://www.sinema.senate.gov/contact
Senator Bought-and-Paid-For:

The numbers are in; your campaign is being funded by Carlyle, Blackrock, and wealthy donors averaging $3300 contributions. These are not your constituents, not the people that voted for you, not typical Arizonans. You should take the hint and resign your seat.

I'm not falling for that one. Again.

Give my best to Clarence, Ginny, and the Nazi billionaire guy on your way out the door (but back-channel only, as you'll have publicly disavowed them beforehand if you employ the critical second stage of my plan).

After all, what could be more fiercely independent than running as an independent for Senate without the advantage of being an incumbent previously elected through manipulation of the Democratic Party? Please quit, then when you win back your Senate seat you won't have that albatross hung around your neck.

3) Resign from the US Senate.

If you immediately take these three decisive actions I can assure you that the public will resume their fawning appreciation of your "fierce independent spirit" or whatever it is you're going for these days.

1) Return all contributions that Harlan Crow has made to your campaigns, and to you personally. This includes off the books contributions such as any Nazi memorabilia Mr. Crow may have given you, repayment for any vacations you may have taken with or without Clarence and Ginny Thomas, and any payments made directly to you in a quid pro quo for voting against popular Democratic legislation.

2) Publicly disavow your relationships with Harlan Crow, Clarence Thomas, and Ginny Thomas.

Fortunately I have put together a three point plan to help you rehabilitate your reputation after this shameful scandal:

My weekly letter to Senator Sinema. This week I have some advice for her. I'm a helper!

Senator "In the Thrall of a Nazi Enthusiast":

The news came out this week that Harlan Crow, billionaire, Nazi memorabilia collector, and vacation provider to the most conservative SCOTUS member, is also a frequent on-the-books contributor to your campaigns. I don't have to tell you how bad this looks.

Thursday before Easter with a massive delivery due two weeks hence, my boss called a meeting for the two hundred of us working the thing. He said, “We’re really close. I know you all have family plans this weekend, but the team needs you to have your drafts due Monday. Don’t let each other down.”

I said, “So you’re saying that if we don’t work Good Friday we’ll get crucified?”

Room: groans across the board.

Me: “What? Too soon?”

As I think about the day ahead, my desires can be reduced to a single word which, alas, I have no hope of hearing. #remand
