Well there it is! With all precincts reporting, Dem James Malone beats Republican Josh Parsons 50-49 to flip Pennsylvania's ultra-ancestrally GOP #SD26! That shrinks the GOP margin in the Senate to 27-23 and is a 16-point overperformance compared to 2024. Our Big Board -->

Lots of reporting suggested that, this time around, Trump and his lawyers would avoid the sloppy legal work that plagued his first administration so they’d fare better in the courts. I see no evidence of that in this round of executive orders. This is poor, slipshod work obviously assisted by AI.

Quite interesting (and good) to see a unanimous decision on this issue!!
The gender affirming care ban in Montana has been BLOCKED by the MT Supreme Court in a unanimous decision.
Montana has a constitutional right to privacy, including in our healthcare decisions. And today our constitution continues to protect individuals from government overreach.

This district court is now 5 D - 1 R appointed judges. Trump is unlikely to make any appointments here in the next term though one Obama appointed judge will be eligible for senior status by 2028.
The #Senate confirmed Keli Neary to be a District Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania by a party line vote of 49-48. Not voting: Markey, Sinema & Vance.

With the Coombe confirmation yesterday, the judges of the N District Court of NY is now 5 D - 0 R appointed. But (say it with me) two Obama appointed judges will be eligible for senior status before the end of the next presidential term.

This court is now 14 D - 8 R appointed judges, though some of the Ds are Toomey picks.
Also, due to the age of the bench here, Trump could appoint up to 12 of the 22 seats in the next 4 years 😬😬
