"It’s difficult to conceive of a cohesive and robust Republican Party emerging out of the ruins being wrought by Trump. And considering the untold damage the party has done to the nation over the past 25 years, perhaps that's for the better."
Republicans in the era of Late Trumpism
The end is in sight — and it's not pretty for the GOP.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

It's hard to believe Witkoff thought the 28 point plan was not a surrender.
Most likely he knew it was and didn't care.
Just pushing Trump's plan for peace no matter how costly to Ukraine, mistaking the laying down of arms for peace.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’
Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’
Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

Most of us had a hard time visualizing what could be worse than Shrub.
But yes, he didn't batter every norm of governing that he encountered.
But let's not forget the lies about weapons of mass destruction used as a pretext for invasion of Iraq.

Even a 13 point shift is a lot.
Quick scan of Ballotpedia suggested ~ 35 Republican Representatives fall into a margin of victory less than 15%.
That's how many are in play.

Well, it turned out that Montgomery county where she was leading when I last posted turned red midway though counting its ballots. VanEpps won there 53% to45% matching the district numbers, but Aftyn did a lot better than Harris, scraping nearly 13% of the perceived R margin from 2024.
As of a few minutes ago the 2 biggest counties were repotting about 55 % of their potential vote. That's where Behn is doing the best. Small red counties are reporting 95% votes counted. There's still a chance for Afryn
