The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

i think it's nice of fetterman to give each of his staffers their own special "my boss sucks" story to share with friends and the wall street journal
Last September, when an aide told Fetterman that officials with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, known as CHOP, wanted to meet because they were worried about Medicaid cuts, he was dismissive.  

Fetterman
Why do I have to keep having to meet with chop
Aide
Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.
Fetterman
Well I’m not
[...]
I’m convinced they just want free trips to DC
Source: messages reviewed by WSJIn April 2025, veteran Pennsylvania state lawmaker Anthony Hardy Williams brought a busload of constituents to Washington from Eastwick, a poorer, flood-prone neighborhood in Philadelphia, to meet with their representatives in Congress and discuss Trump administration cuts to a grant program that had helped the area. 

Fetterman was the only one who refused to meet with them, Williams said in an interview. At one point, they saw Fetterman walking the halls and yelled, but he didn’t acknowledge them, according to Williams.Also last April, Fetterman agreed to take a meeting with another state lawmaker, Liz Hanbidge, who drove down from Pennsylvania to introduce herself, and to discuss programs that help the homeless and working poor in her county. But when Hanbidge arrived, according to staffers who were present, Fetterman claimed he hadn’t agreed to the meeting. The aides spent more than an hour pleading with him to talk to her; staffers eventually met with Hanbidge in his place. 

Fetterman did take another meeting that day—with Bruce Pearl, the former college basketball coach and Israel advocate. The pair discussed legislation that would affect college sports, and Pearl thanked Fetterman for his stance on Israel, Pearl said in an interview. In Pennsylvania, Fetterman has receded from the public eye, rarely interacting in person with voters during his three-plus years in office. 

When three police officers were killed near Fetterman’s hometown of York last September, he backed out of attending the funeral because it was too long. 

Aide
Update on the event:
No one will be allowed to staff you due to number restrictions. The organizers are requiring everyone to be seated by 11:00 am and the funeral will begin at noon and last at least 3 hours. The dress code is formal.[…]
Fetterman
3 hours??
Aide
Yes it’s a very formal ceremony and the equivalent of 3 separate funerals.
Fetterman
This may be a nonstarter
