Big news: Indiana Republicans signal they still do not have the votes to re-gerrymander the state, and that the Senate won't convene the Senate after all in December.
Getting 1-2 seats out of Indiana was central to the GOP's redistricting-war math.

Excellent in-depth and on-the-ground reporting from @burness.bsky.social about the upcoming Pennsylvania State Supreme Court retention elections.
For Democrats it remains critical that all 3 Justices are retained so that the PA Supreme Court remains in their control.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

Joe Biden says he's started treatment for his prostate cancer and the prognosis is good. Donald Trump says Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced with a legion of clones. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

Hound them relentlessly
Dems should start with the premise that Rs *can* be pressured to buck Trump on tariffs. Do *not* assume it's hopeless. Hound them relentlessly: Rs and Trump are hiking your prices to fund tax cuts for the rich. Take it to red areas.
