Slave ships, pogroms, public executions…they’re either freaking out over what they know is coming at them on Election Day & January, or they’re trying to commit a bunch of heinous acts while they can. I think they’re still freaking out.

Imagine having the sort of policies where the only way to win is to incite a pogrom.

Good to see that the assassination of Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark, followed by the government murders of Alex Pretti & Renee Good, have convinced Minnesota Republicans to stop using dangerous rhetoric that could incite violence.

Oops 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ Did you see this one?
Screenshot of NYT headline with a sad-face photo of NC GOP senate candidate Michael Whatley who is a terrible candidate and losing to Roy Cooper in the polls.

The headline says “As prospects dim, GOP pulls money out of N.C. Senate race”

I can’t stop laughing at this. The fact that Trump &!Vance had to campaign in Texas, Oklahoma and Florida just 4 weeks before the midterms is wild. These are red states, but they know the bottom has fallen out for Republicans, so they have to run defense. Happy Friday Dems, and #LetsGetVoteReady

Meh, not a thing
Could the current Congress refuse to seat winners in the next Congress?
No, and this is a common misunderstanding.

The House that judges who is entitled to a seat is the new one that convenes on January 3, not the outgoing (lame-duck) one. When the current House’s terms end at noon, the old House — its speaker, its majority, its committees, its rules — ceases to exist. The current House can hold hearings or pass resolutions before it concludes, but nothing it does binds how the new House organizes itself. The new House starts fresh and judges every seat for itself.

This is what commentators miss when they warn that a “lame-duck” House majority could refuse to seat incoming members. By the time the new Congress meets, the old one is gone. There is no “House” left to do the refusing.
