I noticed that we have a thread for the 2028 elections now.
We still have to survive the 2026 midterms, so…
The optimist in me thinks “in 20 months, the balance of power will shift and we’ll start to re-establish checks on the federal branch, even if it tries to ignore those checks and at least 5/9ths of COTUS decides to green light the federal branch to do whatever it wants under some bizarre originalist theory.”
The pessimist in me thinks “there’s 20 months for Democrats to fuck this up, and they’re well on the way to giving voters a reason to vote for more Republicans.”

Kat Abugazaleh has announced that she is trying to primary Jan Schakowsky in IL-9. Both are very progressive, but Schakowsky is 80 and has been in the seat since before Abugazaleh (26) was born. Abugazaleh used to cover Fox News for Media Matters before Musk sued MM into oblivion and understands modern media. She is also hot, half Palestinian, and will get a disproportionate amount of media attention for both should she win.
