I know @Soapsudsposted this upthread but it bears repeating: If you or anyone you know lives in a state with one of these Republicans, whenever they come up for re-election:

My grandmother took insulin for years. I remember visiting and she would be putting an insulin in her arm. It was something she had to do to regulate her blood sugar levels. Now my uncle uses insulin as well. The cost for it is outrageous. 

 

This is awful.

I am wary about the optics of this (although the GOP was going to use these powers for their own vendettas no matter what) and how much this will juice up GOP turnout in November and unite the GOP even further behind this increasingly debilitated despot, but I also know if they were ever going to find anything this may be the last chance to do it. I just hope they do find what they are looking for. I also hope this wakes up the last few hangers-on of Andrew Cuomo and Andrew Yang, who are showing yet again they care about power and their god complexes above all else.

Meanwhile, one of the right wing Republicans who always voted party with one exception  (the impeachment) has lost to a man with deep ties to extremist groups:

If you are wondering who the Beltway pundits will blame, you don't have to guess for long:

I often criticize Dave Wasserman (and Amy Walter) for their need to shape races to Beltway narratives and desires, but if you need a brief pick-me-up, he had a series of tweets yesterday about a special election in Minnesota and how the Democratic performance (he lost by about 4 points - 6 points more than Biden got in 2020 and about the same as the Democratic candidate in 2020) might suggest there won't be as big a GOP wave this November for the House as had been expected a few months ago.  

This is so good. My money is on Melania.  😂

My guess is that he will tell people that it's not DOJ policy to comment on investigations and he's not going to no matter how much they ask. If anyone has a problem with that they need look no further than what's happening in Cincinnati.

I'm sure he'll be fairly closedmouthed, but the media is going to keep whining in the meantime.
