Looking forward to your coverage should Trump declare your Senators illegitimate. I'll also congratulate the Georgian Democrats, should Trump actually pull that lever, as I imagine that it won't sit well with Georgians AT ALL.
(Personally, I severely doubt that's what Thursday's speech will be about, and is more social media hysteria than anything real.)
"Graham could have turned against Trump. He could have worked to keep Trump out of power. Even if Trump had returned to office, the worst that would have happened to Graham is that Trump would have orchestrated a primary to prevent his re-election. Graham would have been exactly where he was on Saturday, finishing the term he won in 2020."
"Instead, Graham worked to bring Trump back to power. The payoff, in theory, would come this year: Trump would endorse Graham and guarantee him another term in office. And that’s what happened. On June 9, with Trump’s help, Graham won his primary. In the general election, he was a shoo-in."
"And then his aorta ruptured."
The folks at The Bulwark have been covering this pretty well, as they're the ones that probably knew him the best. Saletan from his in-depth reporting on Graham, and folks like Tim Miller and Bill Kristol from the times when they worked WITH him.
Graham's death is a stark reminder that we don't always get to choose when our story ends, so it's probably good to live each day like it could be your last, if you're concerned about your legacy.

You failed to mention Graham's call for the leveling of Gaza and the tens of thousands of dead Gazans that would imply. We're better off without him.
