officially dropped from a majority to a plurality

I know it's a minimum of 7 and maximum of 150. So how does it practically work, I create it and then people use it to add everyone? Is that manual or automatic? If I update the starter pack, do those who used it already have to manually go back to the pack and add new additions, or is automatic?

this is how i knew to check back

ok so i have a bluesky question @matrixman124 if i create a themed "starter pack" of accounts to follow, can I update it after the fact and if so would people who use it always have access to the most up-to-date version?

gotta curry favor now that he's got the incoming president's ear

House seats can only be filled via special elections, Senate seats have temporary appointments depending on the individual state. But the reality is that these House seats are all dark red seats almost guaranteed to go red, so it's a temporary inconveniece. The caveat is that post-Dobbs, the highest propensity voters who are most likely to follow all the news and participate in special elections are disproportionately Democratic. So there may be surprises.

Johnson seems to think it's early enough to schedule a special before January

Yes, my interpretation is that they deliberately went with Thune over someone more accommodating because they still want to act as a check on the stupidest of his stupid bullshit.

I feel like if the Senate spikes anything, it's going to be this.

uh ok?

lol

John Thune elected Senate GOP leader over the Trumpers' choice. The McConnell wing is still in control of the conference. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/13/john-thune-elected-senate-majority-leader-gop/76118719007/

The kids with parents who can pay their way through private school and lunch go on to succeed in a less-crowded jobs market, and the kids whose parents can't afford private school or lunch or aren't willing to be indoctrinated in the majority religion remain in a permanent underclass performing manual labor.

It's been a longstanding Republican priority that education be entirely controlled on the state and local levels. That way they aren't beholden to national standards, can impose religion, and frankly can deconstruct the very concept of the right to public education.

looooooooooooooooool

Nothing says "efficiency" like two dumbasses doing the same job that didn't even used to exist.

I hate this

their House majority is going to end up the same exact size as it is now
