This is an entirely interactive timeline, where you can vote in Senators, decide the outcome on legislation, decide chairmanships, etc.


Polls closed early due to turnout being larger than expected. Thanks to those who voted, results should be up soon!

United States Senate candidate Joe Exotic; a Libertarian of Oklahoma; has stated that if elected; he will introduce legislation that would make it legal for Members of Congress to ride motorcycles to work, as well as legislation to allow Congressman dress however they wish on the floor, and legislation to make it legal for businesses to sue former employees who make negative reviews on Yelp on grounds of "whistle blowing".



Senate candidates James Comey (R-IA), Thomas Kean Jr. (R-NJ), John Cox (R-CA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ed Gillepsie (R-VA), Richard Clifton (R-HI), Jim Hood (D-MS), John Kerry (D-MA), Lincoln Chafee (D-RI), and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) say that if they are all elected; they will introduce legislation that will reunite separated immigrant families by performing DNA tests linking children and parents genetically. Meanwhile, Senate candidate Don Blankenship (R-WV) says that if he is elected; he will introduce legislation that will allow guards to shoot immigrant families crossing the border and taze or shoot immigrants in the facilities for any reason. Stating that "the families and children ought to remain separated so that we don't have anymore Mexico people causin' trouble for America peoples."

My vote was such a massive Dem wank it isn't even funny.

Me too. Though, to be fair to us, so many of those Democrats from Republican states, many of which I voted for, are bound to be conservative enough that even a 100 Democratic member Senate could see some division.

Curiously asking, can you name examples?

July 26, 2018



Senate candidates Thomas Kean Jr. (R-NJ), Steven Pearce (R-NM), John Cox (R-CA), Ed Gillepsie (R-VA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Jay Inslee (D-WA), Doug Jones (D-AL), and Tina Smith (D-MN) have signed a pledge that says that if they are elected together to the United States Senate, they will introduce legislation to benefit technical schools and colleges.



Senate candidates Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Stacey Abrams (D-GA), Russ Feingold (D-WI), Patty Murray (D-WA) have all stated that they would support legislation that reduces taxes for organizations that use or develop green energy. Meanwhile Senate candidate Don Blankenship (R-WV) has stated that he would oppose legislation to do so, and instead support legislation that defunds organizations that use or develop green energy, stating "this type of legislation is not popular with West Virginia people."

ADS BLAST CANDIDATES IN MICHIGAN, ALABAMA, AND WYOMING


A new ad in Michigan was released today criticizing Senator Gary Peters's vote against the Green Energy Taxation Act of 2018. The ad stated that "if Gary Peters won't lower taxes on future energy producers, what makes you think he'll lower taxes on you." Republican candidate Bill Schuette said that he would have voted for the act stating "the act would help companies that desperately need tax cuts to keep producing energy."

In Alabama, Luther Strange produced an ad that criticized Doug Jones's vote against the American Immigration Act, stating "Doug Jones voted to continue the horrific, unconstitutional action of separating immigrant families for long periods of time without record." Strange said that he would have gladly voted for the act, stating "I think there ought to be a better solution to our immigration policy. We didn't need to start separating families for long periods of time, have you seen what happened to that kid that died after leaving one of those facilities, it's awful."

In Wyoming, Dick Cheney released an ad criticizing Dave Fruenthal's vote against the American Immigration Act, stating "Senator Fruenthal voted against proper immigration measures, voted for separating mothers from infants, and voted to continue to allow children to die after evaluation." The former vice-president said that he would have voted for the act, stating that it would "set in proper immigration measures in a bi-partisan manner."

I say anyone below 50% should go to runoff between top two

So these should be runoff if homestar listens to us

Maine
Minnesota
Nebraska
New Jersey
Texas
Virginia

I may consider incorporating this into the timeline as legislation that Atlas may vote on.

FIRST MEETING OF THE 2nd CONGRESS

Republicans meet to choose a new floor leader, as Senator John Cornyn was defeated by Ron Paul in the Republican primary.

Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) introduce an amendment that initiates a runoff if no candidate in an election reaches the 50% threshold.

OTHER NOTES

Ahead of the Class I elections in September, Jhonen Vasquez, creator of Invader Zim announced that he will run for the seat currently held by Kamala Harris as a Libertarian.
