Huh.
Alito won't retire in the lame duck and he doesn't need to. Trump can nominate someone to the Supreme Court and the senate can confirm without a vacancy. Then Trump can wait to sign the commission any time in the next two years. The question isn't Alito, its Cornyn/Tillis/Thune.

Within a decade, Connecticut GOP falls from an 18D-18R tie in the State Senate, to a 4R-32D superminority.
Dems appear to have won a 32 seat majority, with outstanding voting in SD-30 leaning Republican which would leave the GOP with only 4 seats. A 32D-4R senate majority would be the most lopsided result for a party in CT since the 1926 elections when Republicans won 34R-1D.

It’s kind of fucked that America has only ever been 1–2 elections from a party cementing itself into permanent power.

In 2024 Florida voters sent 20 Republicans and 8 Democrats to the US House. In April 2026, Florida enacted a revised map to unwind an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Last night, Florida voters likely elected 20 Republicans and 8 Democrats to the US House. Had the old map been in effect, it would have been 18 Republicans and 10 Democrats.

Final numbers are in and @AyotteNH breathing HUGE sigh of relief. GOP Rep. Jim Creighton ended up 389 votes over Weare Democrat David Trumble. Anybody can seek a recount but that looks like a bridge too far. At 15-9 in NH Senate, Ayotte's got her veto binky. #nhpolitics

The Senate is historically competitive but shouldn’t be: there’s more red states than blue states. So, whenever the Democrats are in the majority, it’s because they pulled some bullshit in red states; whenever the Republicans are in the majority, it’s because they played cleanup.

Only respond if you’re a person whose opinion you think I actually care about: Rank the new Dem senators/governors from how good to how bad they will be.

This is fucking on point. Dems winning power and enacting bad policy isn’t the end of the world. But if they pack SCOTUS, give illegals amnesty, and rig the system in ways that makes it impossible for them to lose power again, THAT’S what truly terrifies me.
Bad policy is coming. That's bad, but we've survived worse. The fundamental question remains: can we save the American constitutional system from irreversible structural changes before the partisan pendulum comes back? That's the whole ballgame.

There is a very interesting mismatch between the elections for *candidates*, which effectively yielded a massive and historic sweep for the Democrats, and the *ballot initiatives*, almost all all of which yielded conservative outcomes, even in the deep blue states (but not VA).

No, the GOP is not getting the Senate back until 2032 at the earliest. Much more likely, Dems get a trifecta, pack the Senate, give blanket amnesty, and they never get it back at all. And if nothing changes before 2028, all those "416 D" electoral college maps we used to laugh at are going to become a reality, and they won't even need to nuke the filibuster for Project 2029. Maybe we get lucky and they put up El-Sayed or AOC and only get to 319 instead. I don't want that to happen, but that's the reality.

Reagan Boomer economics vs Vance-style populism.
"The Republican wreckage left by this defeat doesn’t foretell what will happen in 2028. But it does call for soul-searching. Tariffs and mass deportation are no substitute for rising real incomes. Playing to the bro MAGA base is no substitute for persuading Hispanics, independents and suburban swing voters who abandoned the party on Tuesday. Note to Vice President JD Vance: The 'working class' coalition that is supposed to be the GOP’s future can’t be bought off with child subsidies, support for the Teamsters, or industrial policy corporatism. They want the broad-based prosperity of the first Trump term. Going into 2028, the GOP needs a debate about what it stands for after Donald Trump, and let’s hope it starts this week." πŸ”₯ wsj.com/opinion/2026-midterm…

The blame here is on Donald Trump, yes, but at a deeper level it's with the Republican primary voter, the heart of the cult of MAGA. They shouted "give us Barabbas" time and again in state after state. No one made the grown MAGA adults of Texas vote for Ken Paxton. No one.
