This path to a not-terrible midterm now seems more plausible:

- Some kind of successful resolution on Iran
- Trump then goes to the Artemis splashdown
- America 250 good vibes
- Midterm convention
- Actually force Dems to take bad votes on things like deporting criminals

A top GOP strategist is offering this as an argument as to why the midterms might not be a disaster for Republicans.

Fuller prevailed 56-44 in #GA14, a longtime GOP stronghold that Trump carried 68-31. Everyone agreed Fuller would win, but his 12-point showing is a gigantic 25% underperformance compared to Trump's 37-point margin of victory.

Other key state supreme court races this fall:

AZ: Author of 2024 opinion upholding Civil War-era abortion ban up for retention

MT: Moderate justice is retiring on court that has often thwarted GOP power grabs

NC: Anita Earls, one of two Dems on the bench, is up. Ds could win back majority in ‘28

Also worth remembering that after losing a (very shaky) majority in 2008, liberals were in the wilderness for 15 years. But they kept fighting and reclaimed a majority in 2023. Taking the long view is important.

People who still might be holding out on showing up en masse to protests or still doubting that No Kings held any use, this is the result - doing so makes it visible to others on how unpopular the ruling power is and helped push ones on the fence to view Trump as such.

Keep protesting.

Trump’s Easter Message to Iran: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait” or “you’ll be living in Hell” Decimating the civilian infrastructure of a country is generally considered to be a war crime by international law experts.

Props to @motherjones.com for being one of the only outlets to actually print Trump's disgusting words in their headline:

The six big events that have dragged down Donald Trump's approval rating At -21.4, the president's net rating has sunk to Watergate and Katrina levels — and one issue is driving most of the decline

"Finally, what really stands out about Trump’s trajectory is not just how low his approval is. It’s that it basically never bounces, either. Over 14 months, there hasn’t been a single sustained recovery in his overall approval rating."

As I noted last week, I called the SoS and they said their LONGSTANDING INTERPRETATION was to extend filing. This is the very definition of arbitrary and capricious. Absolutely outrageous.
