The governor also mentioned a historic dimension to Helmy’s appointment; he will become the only Arab American currently serving in the U.S. Senate.
Not the best way to break that ground, but still good to see.
He’s apparently Coptic, and their feelings on Palestine can be pretty broad, so we’ll see if he ends up pushing the Senate toward a less pro-Israel stance.
He specifically chose that his resignation would take effect today, because they a paycheck today. Gotta milk it for every last little bit of cash they can grab!
There are a lot of things worth criticizing him for but I don't think this is one of them. You and I would likely act the same if we had the choice of timing our resignation.

Please, tell people. We deserve to be shamed and judged for the gold plated shithole we are.
Also, we are extremely weird, backwards, and prudish about healthy, adult expressions of sexuality due to our puritcanical roots, so we don’t even have any good to go with the bad. We’re a garbage place with a garbage culture all the way down.
