"It's not a fight over whether Democrats become more moderate or more progressive. Voters want Democrats to be more aggressive. They want to see Democrats standing up to Donald Trump, pushing back, fighting. It's not really related to policy, it's about posture and attitude."

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Yes, we have issues and gripes. I certainly have mine. But I think they are solvable in the near term. MAGA, on the other hand, is in total disarray. And their problem - a malevolent, unpopular fool sinking deeper into dementia surrounded by clowns, is only going to get worse.

And third, even *this* intervention by the Court buys the Trump admin. only another 48 hours—which, again, is less time than it likely would've been given had Jackson provoked the full Court into overruling her Friday.

Pardon the Corruption
Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.
