The Liberation of Sol
The Liberation of Sol is considered by many historians to mark the end of major fighting in the American Civil War portion of the Ninth Cygnus-Orion War, and the turning point in favor of Corinth Pact forces. After the fall of Ordum Amaranth and the Cronus Nexus in 2636, Sector Partisan forces had gained the upper hand in the civil war, and now possessed launching points for an invasion of the Sol System. Planning for the invasion began in 2638, at the same time as Operation GUMBO was launched. GUMBO, the follow-up to Operation PHILADELPHIA, saw the Thirteenth Free Fleet take the Ceraprusium System and press on to Calumny, Oxford, and Printemps. GUMBO's success in the Rim Enclave forced the Itinericists to devote heavy resources to defending the Mannasock defense network to keep that line from collapsing, but leaving the Solar System relatively lightly guarded.
In preparation for the assault, three War Fleets that Kaiserin Ingvarn held under a personal union were declared to be part of a new German Empire, and French and Communist Chinese forces were courted. BEAUMONT, a French military AI with ansible-slaved tacdrives coordinated the operation, and the Chinese contributed six Kuānjiàn post-relativistic kill devices.
Knowing that losing Sol would mean losing most of their operational flexibility, the Itinericists moved to fortify the system as best they could. Their primary resources were 64 Mansel-Dreadnoughts, five mile long living warships recovered from a vault on Pazazu, and the large population and industrial capacity of the Solar System. After the US conquered the Solar System in 2610, the United Governments of Sol, an alliance of puppet states and dominions, was set up, and now this network was forced to provide "Three Billion Under Arms", a phrase which featured heavily in Itinericist propaganda. While the final number was nowhere near that, the Allies were significantly outnumbered throughout the campaign.
Allied ships crossed the Geryon Line on April 10, 2640, making a surprise attack on the Kuiper Belt Space Force base that held Molchauk, the eldest of the Mansel-Dreadnoughts, wounding Molchauk and slaying Ketherel, Itharin, and Lakos. Simultaneously, Kuānjiàn strikes on Ganymede, Titania, and Puck crippled Itinericist power projection into the outer Solar System. Between 2640 and 2643, fifteen more Mansel-Dreadnoughts were slain, and the Sector Partisans consolidated their control of the region, raiding as far as Mars. In this phase of the war, the Itinericist fleet was effectively destroyed, giving the Allies space superiority to offset their smaller numbers, though due to the extensive fortifications the majority of the fighting had to be done on the ground, and in many cases hand-to-hand. Allied forces took Mercury and Mars in 2645, and invaded Venus (the second-most developed planet in the system) in 2646.
By then, the writing was on the wall, Earth fell in 2648, and with it the Itinericist central government. Most national governments were restored, and the UGS was dissolved. The surviving eight Mansel-Dreadnoughts, among them a scarred and battered Molchauk, retreated to Unknown Regions, and de-Itinericization began. Casualties were lighter than expected, but still massive - Mars' fragile ecosystem has never recovered and today an emergency breath mask is necessary, while most of the outer system has not yet been recolonized.

That might not be a good idea if McCain is looking for geographic balance. Plus, isn't Martinez toward the center of her party?
And he would have won 80000000 electoral votes if he had bothered to be geographically diverse!
You seem to be missing a Kennedy. Unless he just died/retired, but even then there'd be a vacancy mark, wouldn't there?
Anyone do a wikibox on the Swedish attack that Trump said happened but in fact didn't?
Run The Jewels finally won a Grammy in 2018 for best album of the year, beating Kanye West, Drake, Taylor Swift, and Daft Punk. Run The Jewels 4 was a very political album attacking the Trump presidency and promoting a Liberal revolution. RTJ4 was the 4th album given a 10/10 by Anthony Fantano.

Something tells me that a political climate where the Democrats benefit enormously from the unpopularity of a buffoonish celebrity-politician who believes in conspiracy theories won't see Minnesota voters deciding to vote for a buffoonish celebrity-politician who hosted a show all about his belief in conspiracy theories.

He never said there was an attack. He said we "have terrible problems", which comes from a Fox item he saw the night before.
@edricwashington The Federal Broadcasting Service wouldn't be a department- it would either be an independent agency (so that it's legally more insulated from political pressures) or similar to how PBS is set up today with it being a private non-profit with government funding through a trust.
