Not a done deal, of course, but this is pretty encouraging. After oral arguments, it still seems there are only 3 hard yesses on the ludicrous "independent state legislatures" doctrine ("original intent" that somehow never came up for 200 years).

Kavanaugh is partially sympathetic, but not all in. And Barrett seems skeptical, like Roberts.

Interesting. Trump is risking going so far that he undermines even support within the party.

And there it is more explicitly.

What does Lindsey Lickspittle think is driving that great D fundraising?

From Manu Raju:

Pat Toomey: “It’s just one more data point in an overwhelming body of data that the Trump obsession is very bad for Republicans but normal Republicans are doing extremely well"
Graham to me: "I think we're losing close elections, not because of Donald Trump," citing D fundraising

#Politics

While this is true, coming from Graham it sounds like an attempt to shift blame away from Trump. "It's not that Trumpism did badly, it's that Ds were so good!"

This is why GA has gone from deep red to purple.

#Politics

And this is a major reason why GA is no longer solid red. This is a county with a million people.

#Politics

GA 2020 was not a fluke (which, for example, NC and IN in 2008 were). It is no longer a safe red state.

This is the legacy Walker is leaving - a son he treated horribly who hates him.

The MAGA cult of stupidity in action.

Homemade Nutella with a hazelnut = instant Ferrero-Rocher. Only better, because it's actually based on nuts not palm oil and sugar.

The investigations continue to focus in.

Another example:

Rupert has definitely decided the party needs to drop Trump.

(The problem of course is that he'll still throw all his properties behind the orange maniac if he wins the nomination anyway.)

Note: even *Matt Walsh* responded to Trump's insane "I never said that!" rant (which of course went straight back into "void the election and make me ruler NOW!") with "but... he said it in writing... everyone can see it..."

Good lord, do these R morons even LISTEN to themselves? Do they not realize that EVERYONE will point to Trump's corrupt family when they try this absurd line in "hearings"? And that the whole world isn't like a Fox set?

As the Washington Post fact checks the ludicrous idea that Twitter's temporary restriction of the Hunter Biden nonsense "cost Trump the election" (it was only when they restricted it that the story really attracted attention) - there's a deep additional irony in all this.

The "Trump would have won if people had known about the laptop!" line, moronic though it is.... *ADMITS THAT TRUMP LOST.*

Exactly, re: Cannon avoiding another collision with the 11th Circuit.

The Netanyahu family embracing antisemitic conspiracy theories is definitely one of the weirder right-wing phenomena of recent years.

For the "not remotely shocking" file.

Twitter's favorability plummets with Musk takeover - except among Rs.

It looks like Cannon has had her fill of being humiliated by the circuit court.
