Actually, as the first talk of college football begins, we've done you the service of updating our guide to Texas college football, who you are allowed to root for, and whom you're obligated to root against. -OS
The crazy thing to me, is Manchin strikes me as the kind of guy who wouldn't be that hard to sell on the whole idea behind the shutdown. He had a rhyme and reason. He wasn't pointless. He wasn't Sinema.
As a WV Dem, who generally liked Manchin, last night would have been his "Get In There and Make it About Me" meme.

I'd shove Schumer out the first available airlock and replace him with someone who knows how to wield a knife (stapler) like Klobuchar.
I’m one of many who wants Schumer out as Leader. I’d take pretty much anyone else except for the defectors. Just curious if you see a front runner and/or have a favorite of your own.

I'd have put Fetterman's head through window. Maybe another clot would shock some sense back into him.
Can you imagine LBJ letting this happen? Smh they don’t make them like they used to

Schumer could not have done more to lend credence to the progressive criticism of the Democratic establishment. There was no political pressure from the constituency to end the shutdown. You ended it for the donors. Stupifying politics. Kaine wants to break? Crush him.

Elko is probably the smartest hire Aggie football has made in 40 years, but today will be the first test of the year for whether they're the same old Aggie or not.

Our little dose of daily hopium is that the national environment in 2026 is more than likely going to be 10+ points more blue leaning than it was in 2022 and TX Republicans drew a gerrymander for dear leader that would've been utterly annihilated in 2018. -OS

And there's no off-ramp because the Senate is probably ready to cave to Democrats on Obamacare, but Johnson isn't bringing the House back into session when all the Democrats and probably enough Republicans want the Epstein files.
Airline travel will basically be untenable by Thanksgiving, and the whole of air traffic will have to basically be cut down to international and hub-to-hub by Christmas. And there's no off-ramp to this shutdown in sight. It's going to be a political bloodbath. -OS

The crazy thing is Texas really brought a lot of risk into their gambit for 5 seats (could totally blow up in their face for 3 of the 5 new districts) and CA could safely go full-Illinois, touch every district to the Pacific and draw a 52-0 map that's at least D+10 everywhere. -OS
Meanwhile in California all the newly redrawn seats will have Dem noms making blood oaths for the downfall of the GOP.

And we think you'll really see this insane-o effect in the next round of Republican US House primaries with the new map. Already, North of Houston, Hunt and Luttrell aren't running again and will be wholly unsurprising if Toth beats Crenshaw in a crazy-off. -OS
Kind of a general dynamic in both the older Houston and Dallas suburbs is that you have a map that looks more purple-ish because the new generation of homeowners are way less white, but the Republican Primary is nuts because the whites who are still there are bonkers. -OS

Right. The Philadelphia collar counties have just legitimately been pulled toward the Dwmocratic Party by education sorting. Collin and Denton Counties in Texas are just way more diverse than they once were but the whites are even more crazy than they were in 2010. -OS
A big difference between Midwestern suburbs and Southern suburbs is that whites in the former genuinely did become more democratic, while whites in the latter stayed more or less the same.

We've said this before -- but among the worst things has been the emergence of the two track Senate, which has sucked all of the pain and cost out of the filibuster and lead to a staggering increase in its deployment since the mid-1970s. -OS
While the American constitution and government were hardly perfect in their initial design, many of the governance issues in the country today have more recent origins than people think.

I generally don't wade into Democratic Primaries, but I'll be vocally supportive of either Edwards or Menefee against Green. It's time to pass the torch, Al. Take the gold watch and come join me on the porch, man.

This is correct: In fact, Pelosi's main weakness was she feared being deposed, so she didn't build a bench of leaders. Jeffries became caucus chair because Crowley, one of her few proteges, lost to AOC.

I will say though, @ericmgarcia.bsky.social, Sam cast a long shadow in the House through his many protégés -- McCormack, Carl Albert, even Tip O'Neill and Jim Wright. Pelosi doesn't have the same set of coattails she'll leave behind.
They're both singular figures. Pelosi had slimmer margins, but Mr. Sam had to wrangle a more unwieldy caucus. Pelosi had more zeal and grit when she was in the minority, Mr. Sam more magnanimity in the majority.
@lyndonbajohnson.bsky.social How do you measure Pelosi up against Rayburn, sir?

They may well get away with it, but its a roll of the dice to be sure. Less of a guarantee of 5 seats than a CA map will be, without a doubt.
It is probably going to curse us but I can't help but think that the Republicans are fucking themselves in Texas.
What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*
Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

A good sign for Amanda Edwards heading into the runoff for TX-18 is that the haul of establishment endorsements Menefee collected won him votes in the whitest parts of the district (the Heights) but not the more Black voting boxes in 5th Ward and north of the loop. -OS
