@CircleofContent@brianbeutler In the case of Virginia: the state legislature simply passes a law lowering the mandatory retirement age low enough to force enough Republican appointees off of the court to change the composition.
@mwolfers@Timodc Janet Mills’ problem was not her gender. It’s her age. It’s time for all the Silent Generation and early cohort of Boomer pols to retire.
@bourscheid@MalcolmNance You could release video tomorrow of Cornyn in bed with a live boy and Paxton with a dead girl tomorrow and it wouldn’t change the trajectory of this race.
@GMErectheus@CurrentRevolt@ScottPresler@KenPaxtonTX Talarico would lose to Cornyn, but y’all are gonna insist on nominating the criminal Ken Paxton instead, so this year Texas will elect its first Democratic Senator Bob Krueger lost in 1994.
@ryancwill@maroonguy84@SteveKornacki@mkhammer 😂🤣 Trump’s approval rating in the 8 polls released this week was 37.375% (high 41%, low 33%). He’s approaching the Nixonian nadir. And Trump isn’t conservative. Trump is so big government that FDR looks conservative.
@Levi_Asher_ The GOP house committee expects to be playing defense in 20 seats and offense in one. Dan Patrick is preparing for the GOP to lose the House majority. Your take is way too rosy for the GOP. 4/4
@Levi_Asher_ Heck, a 31-point Rehmet-sized swing would bring a Democratic supermajority. Now that’s highly improbable, but not impossible. Who knows what the price of gas will be in November? There is nothing 🤬🤡 can do to make a good ’26 GOP environment, but he can make it way way worse. 3/
