one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:
*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

This is an angle to Trump's behavior that can be easy to forget.
Trump would be fired in any normal workplace over the abusive way he treats people every single day.

What a day for this bombshell about the Trump administration intervening in a sex offender’s case. The intervenor was the dude with a “Nazi streak,” who had been the sex offender’s lawyer.
NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation.
The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate.
The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia.
Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer.

The feds under Trump are doing "Black Helicopter" shit at a rate that exceeds the wildest fever dreams of the paranoid right wingers of the Tea Party era. We've got dozens of Ruby Ridges every day, and the body count will likely soon approach Waco. And most of Trump's victims did no crimes.

This is early Dec 2015; the Iowa Caucuses were on Feb 1. Trump had been leading most polls, but the outcome was:
Cruz 28%
Trump 24%
Rubio 23%
We can't know, but if Rubio beats Trump for 2nd...There's a very good chance that Trump loses the nomination.
