"Republicans had good reason to dread the havoc Trump would create if he joined the fight in 2022. So they pleaded with him to keep out of the 2022 race. A Republican lawmaker in a close contest told CNN on August 19, “I don’t say his name, ever.” https://t.co/ZfNECqZuHG

In theory, the keep-him-out-of-the-election approach has a lot to be said for it; in practice, it's a bit difficult to execute when your party is now basically a conspiracy theory/cult of personality built around an attention hungry narcissist.
"Out of 529 total R nominees running for office, we found 195 who fully denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election" & "an additional 61 candidates raised questions around the results"

Holy Crap. Cannon’s decision interferes with Exec Branch ability to track who had access to this information as criminal and natl security officials are both needed to investigate this.

Remember when David Brooks was holding up Rubio as the sensible answer to Trump? No wonder Brooks has started talking about third parties.

If you listened carefully a few months ago, you would have noticed that smart Republicans were nervous about Dobbs. Now everyone has noticing something big is going on.
“In the six months before Dobbs, women outnumbered men by a three-point margin among new voter registrations. After Dobbs, that gender gap skyrocketed to 40 points. Women were engaged politically in a way that lacked any known precedent.”

I guess that take of yours that overturning Roe would only impact midterm voting on the fringes was a bit off.

Fwiw, before Dobbs men were out-registering women in Alaska by 3 pts. Since Dobbs, it flipped to +7 women. At the same time, the share of Dems among new registrants increased by 5 pts. I'd wager this was national trends and candidate quality. https://t.co/PukFmmPzME

In case we needed more evidence that young women are especially motivated by Dobbs: the median age of women registering to vote in Kansas since Dobbs is 23. Over the same period of time in 2021 the median woman who registered to vote was 31.

Ohio is a solidly pro-choice state with one of the most extreme anti-abortion policies. We talked about this back is May.

Mike DeWine is ready to fully ban abortion in Ohio. He’ll strip Ohioans of their freedom to make their own medical decisions.

Support for abortion up 5 points since Roe overturned. Nearly 8 in 10 Democrats more likely to vote because of Dobbs, versus about 3 in 10 Republicans. #RoeVWave https://t.co/M5mS9VWBtr

Remember, Masters also wanted to overturn the ruling guaranteeing the right to contraception.
Everybody's been all over Blake Masters' extreme abortion makeover. But until now I hadn't seen his campaign making his new position this explicit. Until just weeks ago he supported an absolute national ban, a "personhood" law. Now he claims he only opposes "partial birth" ... https://t.co/fpVCceI0Sm

When things get chaotic, it's smart to field solid candidates in what would normally be extreme long-shot races. I'm not saying the Democrats should spend big bucks in Arkansas, but if Trump implodes (or turns on the GOP), they might be glad they had this minister with a PhD. on the ticket.
I have to give it to this Democrat. He is running against Sarah Huckabee Sanders and continues to expose her as nobody pays any attention to her and the crimes she took part in and continues to get away with. pic.twitter.com/U7nun0DfNK

When useful idiots start winning the primaries, they no longer fall into the "useful" category.

When I lived in Atlanta, I heard this a lot. Things were great under the benevolent mad, worse after Time-Warner, terrible after AOL.
Excellent thread retweeted by Margaret Sullivan,
But when the AOL Time Warner merger happened, he lost all control and the separation between Church and State was obliterated.

Good journalism.
Good lede: “Former president Donald Trump said he would issue full pardons and a government apology to rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and violently attacked law enforcement to stop the democratic transfer of power.” https://t.co/y5SW58RLny
