Fun fact. I buy the same exact things every year for halloween candy, so this is a fair comparison. (PS I buy early.) My cost this year increased 19% from a year ago.

Since we know MAGA is going to do in Jan '26 what they tried to do Jan '21 (aka refuse to acknowledge the Democratic congressional wins and refuse to put them into office), states should be ramping up anticipatory actions NOW. Plan to send reps to "observe." Book hotels NOW for them. Prepare.

You know what would be good? Congress should create a law allowing all citizens to vote on impeachment - sort of a binding "no confidence" vote. If it passes (counting votes - none of this electoral college nonsense), then the president is fired. Immediately. :)

This is the key (as noted by Heather Cox Richardson): "As Trump crumbles, it appears there is in the administration a drive to create unlimited power in the executive branch that will survive no matter who is in charge. That drive includes silencing political opponents while rewarding loyalists."
