That’s a worry for 2026.
His game plan might be to cash out by then. Also, with two Senate election cycles before then, a couple seats up or down and he loses his lucrative but highly visible swing position. That’s at least two years for voters to forget.

True enough… but they can make his life problematic until then. And the Black lung fund is something that people in coal country have a long memory about. We tend to think of most voters are having short attention spans, but in fact on issues that are literally life and death issues like this fund, many have long memories.

I saw a pathology professor very nearly literally run out of town after he published a paper questioning how much black lung was actually related to smoking. Who knew the UMWA monitors medical literature? Yeah, that is a huge issue with the miners, who are still very influential there. Maybe cost him a bit? Pretty sure not enough to matter.

"Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) political action committee saw a surge of contributions from corporate donors in the fall before his announcement that he would not support President Biden’s Build Back Better social spending package.
According to CNBC’s analysis of Federal Election Commission filings, Manchin’s leadership PAC, Country Roads, received 36 donations from corporations in the last two months and raised close to $260,000 in that time period.
In November, Country Roads PAC received corporate contributions in the range of $2,500 to $5,000 from donors including American Express, Goldman Sachs, Lockheed Martin, UnitedHealth Group, Blue Cross Blue Shield and CNX Resources last month (a natural gas company), according to the news outlet.
The total amount raised last month amounted to $110,000.
Manchin’s PAC raised over $150,000 in October from widely known corporations such as Verizon, Union Pacific, Wells Fargo and PACs tied to the coal and mining industries, according to CNBC."
Sorry coal miner unions begging for Manchin to change his mind. Your cries will go unanswered.Hey, maybe rural West Virginians will finally get that they have been lied to and had once again by Manchin?
Yes, I’m laughing sarcastically too.

“ Chew, who denies common assault, appeared at Westminster magistrates court on Tuesday via video link from his bedroom in a dressing gown which slipped down to reveal his bare chest. His lawyer Peter Fallen told the court he had tested positive for coronavirus.
Shortly before the hearing started, Fallen told the court he was withdrawing from the case because he was “professionally embarrassed”.
“I am no longer able to continue to represent Mr Chew, I’m sorry to tell you, for professional reasons,” he told the court.”

Considering how aggressive and over-the-top he is, I have to admit that my first thought was that she finally snapped (due to loosened self-control thanks to the medication and probably alcohol on top of it) and reacted physically to him, but of course it’s also possible that they’re both abusive people.

It’s probably not healthy to try to imagine details in this case, given that domestic violence is not a good thing, but I think just about every one of us has felt like punching Alex Jones if not hitting him with something heavier.
