This is the “poisoned chalice” argument, which is almost always wrong, no?. Seems pretty clear Dems would rather have “a Manchin-less reconciliation bill with a tiny House majority.” Is it even close? https://t.co/MEfgJdfNLK

TRUMP’S FAULT? I’m happy if GOPs blame their mediocre midterms on voter distaste for Trump–and use that as a reason to sideline him. But I can’t help but think Dem attacks on GOP Social Security plans also had a big impact. That points the finger at the sainted @RepJimBanks

If Lake and Masters (!) pull it out — not implausible — that would kick the “Trump and his mini-Trumps blew it for GOP” narrative in the head, wouldn’t it?**

USPS does seem to track when they get the ballot. (“Where’s My Ballot” app shows correct date.) Is there way around that? Does CA look at it? Or do they just go by date YOU put on ballot (as here https://t.co/LWiPivkviq) ? https://t.co/eOrH8M2ZNc

My mailed CA ballot is even now making stately progress across the country. In a few days maybe it will arrive at a counting center. Will it’ve been postmarked? If it’s not postmarked, will it still be counted? (My guess: yes). Doesn’t that open the door to funny business?

PS Musk adds”Subscription Blue is better than legacy Blue. I switched over.” 1) He has? Click on his check & it stilll says he’s a “notable.” 2) Is “Subscription” better because it’s boosted more or just because it has access to more stuff? (i.e. Do legacies get all the boost?)

Musk says they’ll change the text to read “Legacy Verified.” https://t.co/4OLAznRmRJ He seems to feel this dissolves the lord/peasant implication.
