2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

My math ain’t mathing. 47 + 3 = 50, not 51. So yeah, Democrats will need 2 of those 3. Since elections are so nationalized now, I don’t think Michigan will go for Rogers while TX is flipping blue, but stranger things have happened. With my ability to math again, I’d say realistically it could be 50-50, 51-49 D. I don’t think Kansas and Iowa will flip…generic 8.2D on the ballot just doesn’t seem like enough.

I agree, I’m not predicting MI or NH will flip, but just mentioning the possibility.

If it's 50/50, Stroke Boy gets a ton of power. He's not stupid enough to switch parties, but he'll do Manchin's shtick with the volume knob turned up to 11 and have a field day doing it.

Mike Rogers' wife was handing out $10 gift cards for gas.

Illegal, hilarious, and sad all at once.

This has always balled me up:

How to form the possessive of a proper noun ending in "s" depends on the style guide you follow:

• The Chicago Manual of Style & APA Style:Add an apostrophe and an "s" ('s).
  • Examples: James's book, Kansas's laws, Charles's dog.
• AP Stylebook (used in journalism):Add only an apostrophe (').
  • Examples: James' book, Kansas' laws, Charles' dog.
• Classical and Biblical Names:Most style guides (including Chicago and AP) use only an apostrophe for ancient or classical names that have many syllables ending in "s".
  • Examples: Jesus' teachings, Moses' tablets, Socrates' philosophy.

I would argue 51/49D would give Fetterman more power since voting with Republicans then provides them the 50/50 tie and the JD Vance tiebreaker.

Who's going to punish them for blatently breaking the law?

That's what this grand experiment has been since that anthropomorphic bag of milk coated in Cheeto dust walzed down that golden escalator a decade ago: "Yeah, I did it. Who's gonna fucking stop me."

Trump's FEC?

You're absolutely right, they will skate.
