McConnell is also nothing if not a good counter of votes. I've always suspected he knew he'd never get 67 votes, even if he voted yes.

A midterm convention is not unprecedented. Dems did it 3 times in the 70s and 80s. It did not go well, as one former DNC leader called them "places for mischief." George Condon explores the history (unlocked) njour.nl/s/732781?unl...

Important point here. I was living on the UES watching The Today Show as I got ready for work. They reported the first plane hitting and even got a witness on the phone. I figured it was a small plane and left for midtown on the subway. Only when I got to the office did I hear about the 2nd plane.

Message discipline on the Right tends to be much better than on the Left. A new startup called @connectblue.bsky.social hopes to change that through grassroots activation. Here's my latest: www.nationaljournal.com/s/732744/exc...

Remember, when Vance was caught spewing racist lies that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, he admitted that "if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do." Proudly, openly a liar.
