Janet Mills it’s time to drop out.

If there is something missing in the post mortem of Tuesday’s primary election is the Chicago Teachers Union extending its losing streak. Yesterday, 7 of 13 CTU-backed candidates lost their primary campaigns for office. This follows Eileen O’Neill Burke overcoming CTU backed Clayton Harris, the defeat of the CTU backed referendum to raise the Real Estate Transfer Tax and the 2024 election for the first 10 elected Board of Education seats that saw CTU lose six of nine competitive races. The CTU spending in BOE races was staggering: 12 CTU affiliated groups spent $2.8 million on BOE candidates, of which $2.1 million – an astounding 75 percent – went to losing candidates. CTU support is handicapping office seekers as 55 percent say they’re less inclined to vote for a candidate who has accepted campaign donations from CTU. Longtime CTU ally Toni Preckwinkle did not even seek CTU endorsement and declined to say she would again back their mayor and former employee Brandon Johnson for reelection. This gives hope that the upcoming school board elections can break the destructive CTU stranglehold over the public schools that are denying families quality schools and driving up property taxes.

Jill Barkley Roy, star of Mills’ latest attack ad, spoke at a panel at an AIPAC conference.

Every single one of the 15 fastest-growing US major metropolitan areas is in the Sunbelt. All 15 are also in a state Trump won. Only 5 are in swing states. Dallas and Houston added an entire Wyoming's worth of people.

Here is the date of the announcement of the last 5 SCOTUS retirements. - Sandra Day O'Connor: July 1 - David Souter: May 1 - John Paul Stevens: April 9 - Anthony Kennedy: June 27 - Stephen Breyer: January 27 We're still well within the period where Alito/Thomas could announce.

Funny how the companies who profit from border militarization or the CBP union are never considered part of the nerfarious "groups" shaping policy.

The Maine Senate race is kind of a perfect encapsulation of the Democratic Party's problem. The establishment gathering around an old, not especially popular party stalwart and the activists gathering around a highly flawed charismatic newcomer. Anyway, congrats Susan Collins.

US House Rep Chrissy Houlahan just put John Fetterman on blast at a town hall in Carlisle with AOC. Houlahan said that it's easier working with McCormick than Fetterman.
