The Wins, a Setback and the Road to the Midterms
On November 4 Democrats had a well deserved great night at the polls. There was joy and merrymaking. Hold on to the joy, and use that energy to get us to the Midterms.

The House passed the bill to release the Epstein files 427-1. Apparently they were finally able to read the room. Or the writing on the wall.

Mike Johnson: "Democrats are trying to use the Epstein matter as a political weapon to distract from their own party's failures. In a desperate attempt, they're trying to somehow tie President Trump to the scandal. President Trump has nothing to do with it. He said himself he has nothing to hide."

Robert Arnold is one of the best social media creators I've encountered. This Substack about the impending collapse of modern Republican conservatism is the first I've seen where he writes in newsletter format instead of making a video. It's one of his best.

There was a time when conservatism meant something noble… or at least defensible.

Being primaried is the least of their problems but as usual, they have been aiming for the wrong target for 11 months.

Donald Trump took office on January 20 as a lame duck president. The reason Republican congressmen and senators have been walking on eggshells is fear of being primaried. The more that becomes a non-issue the more they can feel free to counter his tomfoolery.

I find it relaxing and entertaining on here. I love visiting with my friends. It's like going to a party without putting makeup on.
EXACTLY. Don’t have to find something special to wear, either.

The vote for the discharge petition might show what's going on in the minds of the Republicans. Would enough of them be willing to distance themselves from Trump to move the needle towards impeachment?

I’m starting to see a bunch of petroleum industry commercials touting the importance of oil in the production of everyday items, like yarn, plastic containers, hair combs, etc.

Two things: Big Oil is placing itself at the center of life again, and trying to make plastics less of a nasty culprit.
