It's Wednesday, and unless you're Louisianan or something weird like that, that means election follow up. And election follow up means Greg Dworkin. And Greg Dworkin means .

I had such a lovely little summary all written for you! But WordPress frightened and confused me, and now it has been overwritten. Ah, well. This is a list of the stories we used in today's show. If you don't know why we used them, you may never know, for I am not going to tell you, it seems. I did try. But then I un-tried. This is Trump's fault. (This is a rundown of why the "settlement" is bullshit.) (Is there a 14th Amendment problem with the "settlement?" Is there, indeed, a 14th Amendment?) (This is the story of one of several child molesters that it is...

Day Two back at home didn’t feel any more organized to me than Day One, but it was more like a regular show than the past month’s worth have been, anyway. I’ll take it! The show being as much for me as it is for you, I found myself playing catch-up on the air with the background of the Virginia redistricting situation. We’ve all in the Virginia Supreme Court, but… did it make sense? Would Dems really not be with ? And what did they have? There was at least one pretty suggestion floated, but it seemed to unnerve them, or worry them that Republicans would take revenge. Only they ....

info_outlineThey let Trump back into the country, so it’s Chaos Time again! Greg Dworkin came armed with the usual roundup. As we mentioned last week, we’ve moved from Special Election season straight into primary season. And we had one over the weekend. Who has primaries on the weekends? Smart people Weirdos! Like Louisianans! But there’s more to come on Tuesday, and they’re reading the early vote ballot selection tea leaves. Even when it’s just a primary, it means something when the ratio of ballots selected shifts toward Democrats every single time. And Georgians have more than usual at stake in what will be, on Tuesday, a final and determinative general (but “non-partisan”) election for their Supreme Court, concurrent with primaries for everything else.
All of this takes place in the context of record, floor-shattering lows for Trump’s own polling. He’s losing ground with his base. He’s losing ground with his coalition. He’s losing ground on his issues. But there are still enough Republican primary voters to turn things his way in these early contests. Not that that doesn’t cost him ground, too. Because yes, small though the number may be, recoverable Republicans are in fact changing their minds. The combination–mathematically–has got to be enough.
So, about that weekend Chaos I mentioned: Jared Polis has done the dumb thing, and though defenses are being offered, it remains dumb. Also generally chaotic: we may soon be adding motor oil shortages to skyrocketing gas prices. And Kash Patel turns out to have probably literally pissed on the graves of our Pearl Harbor dead, thus proving that there is no bridge too far. Further proof: Trump is ordering the Treasury to fill a sack with taxpayer money and hand it over to him. And though that’s pretty chaotic, it is actually OK, because he is demanding a patriotic number of dollars. U-S-A!
We also caught up on some pre-weekend Chaos. First, the slow-leaking of Trump’s humiliation in China, where he accomplished nothing. Second, more public lands shenanigans. By which I mean the ultra-wealthy grabbing still more public things from out of your hands, in order–mostly–to not even really put them in their own, private hands. They just own them in case they remember at some point that they actually have them, and might like to use them. (or not!) Instead of you.
