If Congress had one Representative for 10,000,000 constituents, there would be only 33 members of Congress.
Now the question is, would Democrats have a majority? WA, AK, and HI combined have just about the right population, and that would be a Dem seat. Dems would have 4 seats from California. The CO/NM seat would probably be swingy, depending on what else is in it. Chicago would have a deep blue seat. MI, GA, and NC would each be a swing seat. MA/VT/NH/ME would be a Dem seat, NYC would have two Dem seats, Philly would have a Dem seat, and Baltimore/DC as well. Maybe a couple of swingy seats elsewhere, like MN/WI (or South Florida, if Dems ever recover there)?
I'll have to do a more thorough analysis if I ever have time.
I didn't think of that! You're right, keeping Wisconsin whole and adding in the Twin Cities metro area makes more sense than trying to keep Minnesota whole, which creates a very awkward split of Wisconsin.
You can look at bios of all the cardinals or just those who might be the next Pope. The bios even talk about those who might be progressive or conservative or more likely to carry on the legacy of Francis. You can also view where the cardinals stand on certain issues like ordaining female deacons, blessing same-sex couples, making priestly celibacy optional, focusing on climate change, etc. You can also see which cardinals will be voting versus non-voting.
Not Catholic myself, but it was just interesting, almost like doing candidate research.
Amazing to me as a Catholic that the U.S. media has spent so much time relaying the feelings of conservatives about the conclave/next Pope. The amount of attention Catholic conservatives can get for themselves here is astounding. They're a very annoying rump group who is great at PR.
There's no way a conservative (Erdo, Burke, etc.) becomes Pope. If 90 of the 108 Cardinals Francis appointed stick together, they can elect whomever they want, and it won't be a right-winger. My guesses are Parolin or Tagle.
I only saw the movie and it was def like that. Heard it’s very faithful plot wise though. I was impressed throughout - and it had a truly WTAF ending that genuinely caught me by surprise
It depends on the individual province. British Columbia and Yukon do not close their polls until 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. Thankfully the Canadian Election process is closer to our process than the British Election process so it is quicker to count the votes. We should have a sense of where we are at between 9 and 10 Eastern time.
Canada has six time zones, but poll closing times are staggered so that most of them shut at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time regardless of where they are. The Westernmost province British Columbia closes half an hour later, at 10 p.m. Eastern time.
The attack at a Filipino festival in Vancouver that left at least 11 dead might complicate things. Mark Carney was flying to Vancouver to show his support. It was obviously not his fault, but it happened on his watch and could damage the aura of stability he projects.
That is a rational response, but that is not the way elections work. The attack is not likely to swing the election, but it might well cause a dip in support for the Liberals.
It’s also equally possible Trump saying again that Canada should be the 51st state on election day in Canada might cause a dip in support for the Conservatives.
As of right now, Stratton has my endorsement too. She's solid, great backstory, watched her announcement ad and her past interviews. If Pritzker wants to run for President in 2028, the best thing would be to retire in 2026 and focus on 2028. Otherwise he'll need a brand new running mate.
New whispers among Team Trump is disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich who is now a REPUBLICAN after finally party switching in 2024 is eyeing the Senate race in 2026. Hope he loses by 20 points or more if he's the Republican nominee!! 💙🇺🇲
It's not like AOC lost that vote narrowly. She lost by a wide margin. Do we really think that Pelosi, who is no longer the minority leader, has so much power that she can shift dozens of congress people to switch their vote? Maybe just a lot of congress critters thought he would do a better job than her?
Not sure, but I'd guess that a gentle push from someone you owe favors to will have more impact on a committee assignment vote. Something where there is no real chance of voters back home caring as it's way too in the weeds. It's an easy way to stay in that person's good graces while giving something of relative little value compared to the alternatives.
Good chance he'd have won anyway. Pelosi cares about seniority, but so do a ton of dems in congress too. But I wouldn't say it's guaranteed he'd have won. Even if he lost I think it would have been narrowly.
Alright, now can the retirement wave start. We’ve had basically a whole cycle of senate retirements without anyone moving in the House who isn’t running for something.
The bench here is excellent. Connolly has served the people of NoVA well and honorably and with his fragile health certainly deserves (and warrants) retirement
Since Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron are both running for the Senate from Kentucky by attacking the incumbent, their fellow Republican Mitch McConnell, it will be interesting to see whether Scott Jennings' close association with McConnell will be an asset or a liability if Jennings decides to run.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the idea that anyone would seriously want Scott Jennings (pfft!) to run for anything. As for the race itself, right now, I'm hoping it will be Pam Stevenson against Daniel Cameron ... just because ...
I'm still hopeful Rocky Adkins would run. No Democrat would have anything resembling a decent chance, but Rocky v. Cameron would at least be interesting in the environment stays as bad as it is for the GOP. He's probably the only Democrat other than Beshear capable of winning a statewide race in Kentucky. I think he prefers to try to succeed Beshear, though.
I'd be OK with Rocky, either as Senator or as Governor. I'd rather have Lt. Gov. Coleman (no relation to AG Coleman, AFAIK) as Gov, but I'd be OK with Rocky. If he enters the Senate primary, I think he could win, and I don't know how I would vote in a contested primary.
I don't think Jacqueline Coleman has any realistic chance, though, even given Beshear's popularity. Andy only won because of a lot of goodwill with his father AND getting to run against the dumpster fire that was Matt Bevin. Won re-election because he kicked ass as governor. LTG Coleman just doesn't have the same level of residual goodwill from conservative Kentucky voters. Adkins, OTOH, has a long career as a state legislator and ran miles ahead of the other Democrats in eastern Kentucky for years after it turned. If there is any statewide race that could be competitive in Kentucky these days it may be Cameron v. Rocky. Race would almost certainly play a role, but I think Rocky would have a lot of crossover appeal. Again, no Democrat (other than Beshear) would have good odds in Kentucky, though.
You may be right. So far, electing the Gov and Lt. Gov as a ticket has nulled being -- or even being a candidate for -- Lt Gov as a steppingstone to being a contender for Gov. Candidates for Lt Gov don't need to have their own political ambitions or "brands" in order to be picked as part of the ticket. No one who has run for Lt Gov as part of a ticket has run for Gov, and all I know for sure about Lt Gov Coleman running is that she hasn't said that she's not interested.
One full senate term gets him a senate pension, then he could retire and get an even cushier job.
The earning potential as an active member of congress might not be great compared to political TV job, relative to the work required for each. But the earning potential improves a lot once they become a former member of congress.
Heck, for all we know he's on his way out the door at CNN.
(Why does CNN always have the WORST panelists? The "discussions"—which are mostly just people talking past each other and reciting canned talking points—are damn near unwatchable!)
Well frankly a majority black city should have at least one of its two MCs be black. And Shri is just weird. Hopefully it’s a 1vs1 primary, otherwise a multi-candidate primary greatly favors Shri.
Yep, he won his first primary with 28.3% of the vote. Detroit's other member won hers with 31.2%. And of course, it's unfair to single them out; there are many others (Dan Goldman got 25.8%!).
This is why I really think ranked choice is important.
Is this Jrdeaux scandal, a slam dunk one like in the case of Mark Robinson of NC because as far as I see there are other profiles on YouTube and Spotify with the same username...?
I don't think this will damage John Reid to the same degree as Mark Robinson was damaged by his scandal, if only because Robinson's scandal is a very high bar. Reid continues to claim to that the pictures were not posted by him. He claims that someone else created that account, presumably for the purpose of copying a username that he has used on other websites, so that the pictures would appear to come from Reid. If there is a lot of hostility to Reid from anti-gay Republicans, then this is actually plausible in my view.
It's possible that Youngkin's people think Republicans are going to get beaten badly this November, and they don't want the public to see it as a referendum on Youngkin. That's why Youngkin (and presumably also Trump) want to make Reid a scapegoat for if that happens.
Imo it’s beyond obvious he’s been angling for a Senate run with this miraculous shift to not being a total douchebag MAGA mouthpiece and suddenly caring about basic human decency (which he never did once in 4 years).
Whether it’s a 2026 run with the Trump anchor against Warner or a 2030 run against Kaine (or an open seat, maybe he thinks he retires, he’ll be 72) is up in the air. I really hope the MAGA in moderate clothing Republicans don’t fool Americans anymore, because there’s a long list of them that need to never be heard from again.
A little surprising, but Chuck Grassley is honoring blue slips for the U.S Attorney's offices in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York (I honestly thought he would not). (For those wondering which New York Senator did not return the blue slip-it was Schumer).
Chairing a committee is one thing. However, Grassley got elected to the Senate the same year that Reagan was first elected as POTUS, 1980. Being an institutionalist fits him considering how many decades he's been in Congress.
That said, Grassley also bankrolled the Iraq War from the beginning and did not provide one iota of accountability until after the 2006 midterms (like many of the wimpy Republicans). Quite honestly, he doesn't have a spine unless it's about Iowa and its energy.
But we're talking about Grassley, who provided ZERO accountability whereas many Democrats (except Joe Lieberman) did after the Iraq War happened. This includes Joe Biden and John Kerry well before the 2006 midterms.
Point being is that Grassley along with Lindsay Graham and others blindly supported the Iraq War and gave Bush & Cheney a blank check. Absent of the 2002 Iraq War Resolution, after the Iraq War started, the Democratic Party in the Senate, namely at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, were very critical of Bush’s handling of the Iraq War from the beginning. The GOP by contrast only got critical of Bush after the 2006 midterms.
Anyway, Biden and Kerry are no longer in the Senate. Grassley is. I can’t understand why I’m recent Senate elections both Democratic Senate Candidates have not attacked Grassley over his Iraq War record/
Is there a website that show the *actual live count*, and estimate of percentage counted, in each riding? So far, it’s talking heads and an indication of which party is "leading", but nothing about actual vote count.
North Carolina vote-suppression law gets permanent injunction from a Federal court and the state of North Carolina agrees to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXCaXCVySoY
The law would have annulled the registration and vote of voters who register and vote at the same time if a piece of test mail came back as undeliverable, with no notice or opportunity to cure the problem. On Democracy Docket, which I linked above, a figure of 23% of mail that comes back as undeliverable being due to USPS error was cited.
Papal Conclave set for 7 May.
The conclave has approximately one elector per 10,000,000 constituents. Congress, for comparison, has one per 780,000.
If Congress had one Representative for 10,000,000 constituents, there would be only 33 members of Congress.
Now the question is, would Democrats have a majority? WA, AK, and HI combined have just about the right population, and that would be a Dem seat. Dems would have 4 seats from California. The CO/NM seat would probably be swingy, depending on what else is in it. Chicago would have a deep blue seat. MI, GA, and NC would each be a swing seat. MA/VT/NH/ME would be a Dem seat, NYC would have two Dem seats, Philly would have a Dem seat, and Baltimore/DC as well. Maybe a couple of swingy seats elsewhere, like MN/WI (or South Florida, if Dems ever recover there)?

An interesting website I stumbled across that I haven't seen mentioned here (if it has my bad): https://collegeofcardinalsreport.com/
You can look at bios of all the cardinals or just those who might be the next Pope. The bios even talk about those who might be progressive or conservative or more likely to carry on the legacy of Francis. You can also view where the cardinals stand on certain issues like ordaining female deacons, blessing same-sex couples, making priestly celibacy optional, focusing on climate change, etc. You can also see which cardinals will be voting versus non-voting.
Not Catholic myself, but it was just interesting, almost like doing candidate research.
Erdo is the one to avoid. Zuppi and Tagle would be best.
Still think it’ll be Parolin but we’ll see - could def see Zuppi getting it
Amazing to me as a Catholic that the U.S. media has spent so much time relaying the feelings of conservatives about the conclave/next Pope. The amount of attention Catholic conservatives can get for themselves here is astounding. They're a very annoying rump group who is great at PR.
There's no way a conservative (Erdo, Burke, etc.) becomes Pope. If 90 of the 108 Cardinals Francis appointed stick together, they can elect whomever they want, and it won't be a right-winger. My guesses are Parolin or Tagle.
Yeah, it really misunderstands the global Church. Erdo might have a chance - Burke has virtually none.
If the Cardinalate want to split the difference they could go with Besungu, whose closer to the Franciscan line than most African prelates
What a remarkably thorough website!
The "Conclave" book was really good. Somebody summarized it as "Mean Girls, but for Cardinals" and that's...not wrong!
Like with Billy the Bard’s "Hamlet", I only saw the movie.
I haven't seen a movie in the theatre since "Django Unchained." I am a very weird mammal.
You have been to the cinema more recently than I have!
I only saw the movie and it was def like that. Heard it’s very faithful plot wise though. I was impressed throughout - and it had a truly WTAF ending that genuinely caught me by surprise
Election Day has arrived north of the border!
When will we know the results exactly?
It depends on the individual province. British Columbia and Yukon do not close their polls until 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. Thankfully the Canadian Election process is closer to our process than the British Election process so it is quicker to count the votes. We should have a sense of where we are at between 9 and 10 Eastern time.

Worth noting: more than one-quarter of eligible Canadian voters have already cast an Early ballot.
The attack at a Filipino festival in Vancouver that left at least 11 dead might complicate things. Mark Carney was flying to Vancouver to show his support. It was obviously not his fault, but it happened on his watch and could damage the aura of stability he projects.
Don't think so. The attacker, of Chinese descent, had a history of mental disturbance and the police have ruled out terrorism as a motive.
That is a rational response, but that is not the way elections work. The attack is not likely to swing the election, but it might well cause a dip in support for the Liberals.
It’s also equally possible Trump saying again that Canada should be the 51st state on election day in Canada might cause a dip in support for the Conservatives.
IL-Sen: Duckworth to endorse Stratton.
As of right now, Stratton has my endorsement too. She's solid, great backstory, watched her announcement ad and her past interviews. If Pritzker wants to run for President in 2028, the best thing would be to retire in 2026 and focus on 2028. Otherwise he'll need a brand new running mate.

I mean, if Pritzker wants to run for a third term, he'll have absolutely no problem finding a new running mate.
We will have a new US Representative in VA-11! https://www.newsweek.com/democrat-connolly-wont-run-again-stepping-down-house-oversight-2065106
In fairness to Gerry Connolly, his health matters are more important than having to risk running re-election with them at the same time.
It's not like AOC lost that vote narrowly. She lost by a wide margin. Do we really think that Pelosi, who is no longer the minority leader, has so much power that she can shift dozens of congress people to switch their vote?

Connolly defeated Ocasio-Cortez 34 to 27.
It was 131 to 84.

Alright, now can the retirement wave start. We’ve had basically a whole cycle of senate retirements without anyone moving in the House who isn’t running for something.
The bench here is excellent. Connolly has served the people of NoVA well and honorably and with his fragile health certainly deserves (and warrants) retirement
I wouldn't be shocked if Jennifer Carroll Foy is our nominee here.
WHile I am not a member of the VA GOP, their actions are wrong. He should be allowed to run.
Since Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron are both running for the Senate from Kentucky by attacking the incumbent, their fellow Republican Mitch McConnell, it will be interesting to see whether Scott Jennings' close association with McConnell will be an asset or a liability if Jennings decides to run.

Race would almost certainly play a role, but I think Rocky would have a lot of crossover appeal. Again, no Democrat (other than Beshear) would have good odds in Kentucky, though.
It's clear that a Democrat could win the gubernatorial race again, but I definitely can't see the possibility of one winning the U.S. Senate seat.
I think Adkins could beat Cameron under the right circumstances
Elections for Governor being not only off-cycle, but isolated from Federal and legislative elections, does have an effect.
Does Gov. Beshear have any progeny?
Two children. One son, Will. One daughter, Lila. Both are minors.
You may be right. So far, electing the Gov and Lt. Gov as a ticket has nulled being -- or even being a candidate for -- Lt Gov as a steppingstone to being a contender for Gov. Candidates for Lt Gov don't need to have their own political ambitions or "brands" in order to be picked as part of the ticket. No one who has run for Lt Gov as part of a ticket has run for Gov, and all I know for sure about Lt Gov Coleman running is that she hasn't said that she's not interested.
Why would Jennings give up his cushy job as the party’s designated CNN mouthpiece who gets zero pushback from fellow panelists to run for anything?
Inflated sense of his own brilliance fueled by said lack of pushback?
Works for me.
One full senate term gets him a senate pension, then he could retire and get an even cushier job.
The earning potential as an active member of congress might not be great compared to political TV job, relative to the work required for each. But the earning potential improves a lot once they become a former member of congress.

(Why does CNN always have the WORST panelists? The "discussions"—which are mostly just people talking past each other and reciting canned talking points—are damn near unwatchable!)
Trump will end his hopes in a jiffy when his advisors tell him that Jennings works for Mitch.
Shri Thanedar's opponent has been endorsed by a multitude of state legislators from across the left wing spectrum.

Good.
I'm not seeing anything at that link. I guess it was deleted?

And Thanedar responds with the “magic bullet.”

If a Representative introduces articles of impeachment, does the Judiciary Committee have to have hearings?
No.
Tbh, his english seems to be terrible. How did he even win those primaries?
What's the issue with leftists and Thanedar? Is it the hair? The not being black? He seems to vote fine.
Talk to the people who vote for him.
AIPAC and crypto.
Sure but is there the same eneregy for the other supporters of those groups.
Well frankly a majority black city should have at least one of its two MCs be black. And Shri is just weird. Hopefully it’s a 1vs1 primary, otherwise a multi-candidate primary greatly favors Shri.

I stil think TMac would have eked out a win in 2021 had it not been for the Covid resurgence.

Grassley is awful in many ways but he's still (somewhat of) an institutionalist.
Whoever succeeds him will likely be far worse.
If Grassley was the institutionalist you are claiming he is, he would not be chairing a Committee in the Senate.
Chairing a committee is one thing. However, Grassley got elected to the Senate the same year that Reagan was first elected as POTUS, 1980. Being an institutionalist fits him considering how many decades he's been in Congress.
