Repubs have a razor's edge thin majority in the House of Reps That could change in April. That is because the Wisconsin Supreme Court has an election . If it ends up with a liberal majority ,they could strike down the state's Congressional map wiping out 2 Repub seats .

Susan Crawford the Dem candidate has made it clear to donors that is what she intends to do.

Doesn't matters that justices are supposed to be non-partisan rule with the blind eye of justice. We know that ship has sailed .

Most people don't bother paying much attention to court votes . But this one is important.

Trump unleashed Musk to try his influence . He wasted time and $25 million he gave away trying to swing the vote. He failed and today we are closer to making the MAGA revolution as much as a blip in history as the Tea Party movement became.

With turnout extraordinarily high for a spring election in an off year, Judge Susan Crawford handily beat Judge Brad Schimel, who ran on his loyalty to President Trump and was aided by Mr. Musk, the president’s billionaire policy aide.
Mr. Musk not only poured money into the race but also campaigned personally in the state, even donning a cheesehead. But his starring role seemed to inflame Democratic anger against him even more than it helped Judge Schimel.

This is Wisconsin. A state that Trump won in November The state that Scott Walker turned red. Remember him ? His big effort was to repair the state budget. All this work in the state will be gone.

How bad is it and how mobilized are the Dems to stop Trump ? There was record turnouts for a state judicial election while the state was in a weather state of emergency.

All is not lost

Repubs Jimmy Patronis in Florida’s 1st District and Randy Fine in the 6th District gives them breathing room . I suggest Speaker Johnson should waste no time in cementing his gains before Wisconsin gets redistricted . Trump's executive orders are temporary . Passing laws would make them closer to permanent.
Federal Courts need to be permanently reformed to prevent District Judges from grabbing more power than the elected President has.

Johnson needs to keep the Repubs eyes on the prize . Right now they are having such debates like should pregnant members vote remotely ?

The good news is that the Dems are basket cases too.

Cory Booker speaks overnight in Senate against Trump : NPR

Senator Spartacus made the longest campaign speech in history . I say that because I can find no other logic for it. Besides 'he hate Trump' there was no other reason for it besides his opening salvo for his 2028 campaign for the Dem nomination.

DOGE needs to become a permanent Federal agency. This should not be hard . Bubba and Gingrich brought some reform . Even the emperor advocated for budget reform and IT modernization.

Maybe Musk's time has come and gone. He brought the experts into DOGE . But now he has become a liability . Trump should thank him for his efforts and suggest it is time for him to go back to making $billions. He would better serve the effort under the radar.
