It's amazing. GOP Legislature has been holding us hostage. It felt like the win of a lifetime when we got enough House and Senate seats into Dems hands to prevent a 2/3 override of the governor's veto. We made dents, but this wasn't even on the radar as a possibility until more recently.
I kid you not, the GOP House Reps are so dumb that they reminded voters just 2 weeks ago that they are going after the Philly DA to impeach him, an action being brought by Reps who live like 2 hours, 3 hours, and 5 hours away from Philadelphia. This is a DA in his second term who was re-elected just last year. A complete overreach and counter to their supposed ideologies, but they just can't help themselves. They want to "protect" Philly by overriding the DA they elected. And despite them starting this several months ago they were dumb enough to move for a formal action just before Halloween even though they couldn't do the trial before the session recessed, so they truly could've waited, but they didn't and it was in the news prominently here. Love the stupidity.
I love reading both Jazz and Dry when they talk about their home state. Thank you both for your insight.
As for Bernie Bros they're GQP in disguise. The man that runs Palmer Report has started calling them out for their nonsense.

I was debating whether or not to post this and I shouldn't have had to debate it. The GQP has made it impossible to talk about voter fraud.

If GOP controls the House by having 218-220 members, you can thank heavy handed DeSantis for making his own map after FL GOP Senate and House decided to keep status quo. DeSantis map change the dynamics from 16-12 GOP to 21-7 GOP which is huge. They split the FL pandhandle which was a Democrat stronghold. The rep in that area lost Tuesday. Also, they split the Orlando area where Demings resides with cutting a little from St Pete/Tampa which reduced Democrat stronghold.
Biden and the Dems should be satisfied with their midterm report card, very modest gains in Senate and Governorships and a House still technically up for grabs. It will go GOP and, if by less than a 10-seat majority on the back of net losses in the other two branches, hardly a 'red wave' expected by the election deniers et al. DeSantis' impressive win in FLA also takes considerable wind - or bluster? - out of the Donald's 2024 'The World is Still Flat: Insurrection 2.0' aspirations.

Phil Knight is truly dead to me. Billionaires playing games with people's lives. I'm glad Nike is a different entity from it's co-founder and he's more of a figurehead these days. What an asshole.

Political fallout from a different perspective.
"There is no one in the PA market that thinks Fetterman ran as a Bernie Progressive."
Because he didn't. He was for the "regular" guy, but that's about it. Went out of his way to stress he wasn't a socialist. Literally ran commercials with his "Trump voting" parents. People pretending he ran as a Bernie progressive are yet again likely going to be those clueless out-of-staters who think they know what's happening in-state but haven't the slightest idea or they are just trying to push that good ole Bernie's ideas are winnings ones narrative even though no such evidence exists outside of small samples in limited geographic areas.
Every single attack ad against him highlighted how much his record was Bernie like, "too progressive for PA" and went into detail most times in the ways he was and that definitely was problematic. Fetterman definitely wasn't highlighting his progressive causes regularly. Left leaning, yes, progressive, not so much.
