“Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) today released the following statement announcing that she will not seek re-election to the US Senate in 2026. ‘It’s an incredible honor to represent Wyoming in the US Senate, and throughout my time here, Wyoming has been my one-and-only priority. What a blessing to serve with Senators John Barrasso and Mike Enzi when I was in the US House, and with John and Rep Harriet Hageman while I’ve been in the Senate. We all put Wyoming first, which has cemented our cohesive working relationship. Deciding not to run for re-election does represent a change of heart for me, but in the difficult, exhausting session weeks this fall I’ve come to accept that I do not have six more years in me. I am a devout legislator, but I feel like a sprinter in a marathon. The energy required doesn’t match up,” said Lummis in a statement on Friday.

It need not be said that there’s zero chance of a Dem winning this seat short of the Republican candidate undergoing a sex change operation in early October and even then it’d be like 50/50. The retirement announcement from a Republican during what’s supposed to be a shining era of Pax MAGAmericana however – especially saying she’s simply sick of the daily grind and bullshit – says a lot and nothing good about what it’s like working under the command of the Orange God Emperor.

If last December this site had predicted by now it would be shut down due to new emergency censorship measures, the Insurrection Act would’ve been invoked, there’d be federal troops rounding American citizens up by the thousands and interning them in camps, and Trump’s approval rating would be 65 or 70 percent, then some of you would’ve said that wasn’t pessimistic enough.

Now here we are and MAGA isn’t having any fun at all. Arguably even unhappier than most libs.
