So far…
Rep #AndyBarr, a Republican backed by #Trump, easily won a contested #primary for #Senate in #Kentucky, where he will be strongly favored in November to replace the long-serving Senator #MitchMcConnell, who is retiring.

Sen Bill Cassidy’s defeat in Saturday’s #Republican #primary in #Louisiana will be covered as evidence of Trump’s grip over the party. #BillCassidy voted to convict #Trump after his second #impeachment following #Jan6, 2021, & this was payback.
At the same time, Cassidy’s third-place finish highlights another unfortunate trend in #US politics: the decline of open primaries across the country.
Meanwhile.... Remember the #Jan6 RICO case implicating so many#TrumpVirus criminals in #sedition ??
Never-before-seen transcripts shed light on Trump's most prominent allies
Over five dozen grand jury transcripts from the Georgia criminal case against President Donald Trump were publicly released on Thursday, announced Lawfare's Anna Bower on X.The 61 transcripts include previously unseen testimony from prominent Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham, and Cleta Mitchell.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought the case, which accused Trump and his attorneys and political operatives of a racketeering scheme to overturn the 2020 election results. Several Trump allies pleaded guilty in exchange for reduced sentences.
Happy Friday .... rest up if you can, as more #war & #WordSalad, plus #Ballroom updates, are ready for the weekend! (Us, too?)

"Who cares, #Trump is the problem"
On the contrary, the #presidency is just a capstone on a huge system, and when we take our eye off the little #elections, we get a systemic rot that leads to someone like Trump

“Gerrymandering is invisible which is why it feels like our democracy is deeply divided when in reality the Republicans have an unfair advantage in most aspects of our political system that makes it feel like there are more of them.”
