And here is a South Texas-based reporter w/ Starr officials saying their initial report was right. It's a key difference because the numbers from the Sec of State's site would put Cuellar within striking distance of 50% and an outright win w/ no runoff xitter.cf/Berenice__G/status/149…

Addendum: There’s a Byrd rule problem with making changes to Social Security in reconciliation.

With Ron Johnson now running for re-election, the 2022 map is pretty much set -- and it's about as even of a map as you will find.

Kevin McCarthy sticks up for Marjorie Taylor Greene in a new statement condemning “Twitter's continued and dangerous efforts to silence Americans.” He doesn’t name her but alludes to “a sitting member of Congress.” She was permanently suspended y’day for violating misinfo policy.
