How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

So far in 2025, Collins has voted to confirm at least eight explicitly anti-abortion judges to lifetime seats on the federal judiciary. It seems plausible Collins knows she’s likely to lose next November and isn't even trying to court voters anymore. It’s no longer of concern to her.
NEW: Susan Collins, who claims to be pro choice, is raising money for an anti-abortion candidate who’s slated to lose the Virginia governor's race. A donor email sent on behalf of Winsome Earle-Sears comes as Collins' approval rating has plummeted to net negative 20 points. Me in @newrepublic.com:
Why Is Susan Collins Mixed Up in the Virginia Governor’s Race?
The “pro-choice” Maine Senator used her email list to support embattled Virginia gubernatorial aspirant Winsome Earle-Sears, who has called abortion “genocide.”

Ohio voters
Ohio politicos are openly speculating that one likely GOP candidate, state Senate President Rob McColley, made sure Kaptur's constituency was reconfigured to include his home. Kaptur threw some shade at McColley in her defiant reelection statement.
Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur's House seat just got even tougher for her to defend, but she's not going anywhere without a fight.

This has been such an Illuminating part of our current moment:
It’s revealed just how unwilling those with actual power are to even just ask tough questions, while highlighting how willing pajama-wearing suburbanites are to physically drive off guys armed with actual guns.

The assumption appears to be that ordinary voters will be cowed, obsequious, and unwilling to challenge autocracy, just like the billionaires, business leaders, media executives, and other leading institutions of civil society, which have decided that fighting back is “not worth the hassle.”

Judges should also demand that federal agents stop using the word “police” on their uniforms. There is no federal police force and they are in essence masquerading as police, the way Fox News pretends it is a news organization.
A judge ordered agents involved in the Chicago deportation blitz to have "visible identification … prominently displayed."
But they've been missing in dozens of @chicago.suntimes.com photographs.

FWIW, I see this order as a very encouraging sign for those who are hoping #SCOTUS *denies* the Trump administration’s application.
There would be no need to issue it if the administration had five votes on the other two issues; and this is perhaps the strongest argument against it on the third.

#BREAKING: In the Illinois National Guard case, #SCOTUS is asking for additional briefing on one of the key substantive questions (and one flagged by my Georgetown colleague @martylederman.bsky.social in an amicus brief):
Among other things, this means no ruling until *at least* the week of 11/17.
