US Rep. David Scott, Georgia Democrat, dies at 80

U.S. Rep. David Scott has died. The Georgia Democrat was 80. Scott was seeking his 13th term in Congress despite challenges from within his party. Scott was Democrats’ ranking member on the House Agriculture Committee, despite most recently representing a metro Atlanta district. Scott was once a leading voice for his party on issues related to farm aid policy and food aid for consumers and a prominent Black member of the party’s moderate Blue Dog caucus. But Scott faced criticism and concerns in recent years because of declining health, enduring a primary challenge in 2024 and facing another one at the time of his death.

The exact Russian phrase Putin has used since Feb. 24, 2022, "специальная военная операция" [CBO] is the sick euphemism, "special military operation." 1)

Something about oaths of office and defend the constitution exists, doesn't it?
