How long until Cruz shaves his beard and cuts his hair?
JD Vance and Ted Cruz suddenly sounding like Yale and Harvard Law grads instead of MAGA memes is very, very telling.

"What is the Republican Party? From its fundraising operations to its governing philosophy, it has become an organization built around and for one man, hollowed out over the past decade and purged of anyone or any idea independent of the current president. Any remaining attachment to free markets, limited government, the rule of law, a culture of life, or family values has been superseded by Trump’s own desires, impulses, enrichment, and peculiarities." thedispatch.com/newsletter/n…

Feeling pretty vindicated by my prediction for what Trump’s lame duck presidency may look like…
In his first public appearance since his party suffered crushing electoral losses, Trump is at the site of the White House ballroom, talking about the marble he ordered for the floor.

This ad didn't work because these ads never work. The national GOP surrender post-Dobbs is hurting them. A pro-choice-lite party that also cuts SNAP and Medicaid is a moral and political disaster.
Senator, you know better. I am against a National Abortion Ban. Spreading lies about my record and fear mongering to scare women in Michigan is WRONG, and you know it. Let me refresh your memory.

He’s running
With the loss of governors races in Texas, Ohio and Georgia, there will be only one state of the top ten most populous states with a Republican governor: Florida.

Big repercussions for Trump's ability to fill judicial vacancies, including on the Supreme Court were a vacancy to occur.

Ah, that's the good stuff.
Trump just now, in his first post in three hours, writes: "I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

NEW: White House official tells me their position is GOP losses aren’t Trump’s fault “White House mood is defiant. President Trump was not on the ballot, and it's proven that Trump voters show up when he is on the ballot. “Also, candidate quality matters and President Trump did a better job promoting many of the candidates than the candidates did themselves.

Treating election returns like a sporting event is bad for democracy.

I'll go further: even strong predictions about 2028 election dynamics or 2029 governance are more absurd than usual, for all the usual reasons but also because we have less idea than maybe ever at what the political issues/divides are going to be two years out.
The fact that we're even indulging this game two years after Rs won a seemingly insurmountable 53 seats suggests such certainly is imprudent.

Or, you know, two years. When a third of the Senate is up for reelection, including Democrats in AZ, GA, NV, and PA (and potentially in OH). Settle down.
I understand entirely the instinct to teach the House GOP a lesson. But if you punish the Senate GOP, it will be 6 years before they can do anything about it. And we can lose the Republic before then.

It’s incredible how many folks somehow read this conclude I’m suggesting Christians must (or even should) vote for El-Sayed. Truly incredible.
If you’re a Christian voter in Michigan opposed to abortion, you’re One Thousand Percent justified in not voting for either candidate. Anyone telling you otherwise is a partisan grifter.

If this were coming from any other politician, it would rightly be denounced by the right as blasphemy.
Trump says that he will "take Christians to the promise land. And I've done that."

I have been clear about this issue time and time again and I will not allow Abdul to lie about my position. This decision is one of the hardest decisions a woman will make in her entire life and it should be handled with her family and her doctor. Period. The Michigan voters went to the ballot box and made a woman’s right to choose part our State Constitution and as Michigan’s next Senator I will never go to Washington and overturn the will of the Michigan people.

When Christians elevate prudential political judgements to the level of essential doctrine, we’re sacralizing our politics and distorting our faith. We can disagree and seek to correct without excommunicating one another.

The single, overriding question of our politics is whether Democrats will shatter our constitutional order in 2029-30. All other questions are secondary.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV on Sunday’s Villanova and Notre Dame basketball game: “Growing up on the south side of Chicago, we oftentimes heard, ‘Go Irish!’ But, as you all know, Prevost graduated from Villanova. So the Pope doesn't take sides. Prevost has another opinion, but we won't do that now.” (via @CatholicSat)
