I don't think Boebert has any problems. The alleged Christians know Trump is an adulterous rapist and they consider him their Chosen One.



'Holy cow!' Boebert scrambles to reassure Christians rattled by 'Beetlejuice' blunder

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is reportedly showing unusual humility to her constituents after she got booted out of a performance of the "Beetlejuice" musical and was then shown on security camera footage vaping during the show and publicly groping her date.

The Associated Press reports that these actions have damaged her efforts to cultivate an image of herself as an upstanding Christian woman, and she's delivering public apologies to constituents when meeting with them during campaign stops.

"“Most of us were like ‘holy cow,’” Boebert supporter Beverly Cuyler tells the Associated Press of seeing video of the congresswoman's behavior at the musical. “And one of the big reasons for that is a gap between how she presented herself as a Christian and what ended up happening.”



Boebert has implicitly acknowledged the damage that the scandal has done, and the AP reports that she acknowledged recently that "Democrats certainly smell blood in the water" about her congressional seat, which she won last year in an unexpectedly close election by under 600 votes.

Republican Dusty Mars, 44, for one, tells the AP that he's unsure about supporting Boebert again in the Republican primary and he's frustrated by the fact that it's seemingly so hard to hold onto what should be a safe seat for the GOP.

"It should be a lot easier to get a Republican candidate into the district. We shouldn’t be pulling teeth to get votes," he explained.

I don't know about Texas but I am betting Democrats will go hard after Buck's seat in Colorado. Chances are the treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans will go with a far right election denying extremist. And you would not know it from what we see around here but the majority of people in Colorado are not far right extremists. And vote against them.

GOP Reps. Ken Buck and Kay Granger announce 2024 retirements

Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Kay Granger (R-Texas) said Wednesday they will not seek reelection in 2024.

The big picture: Both lawmakers voted against right-wing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for House speaker last month, with Buck emerging this year as a particularly vocal critic of his party.

Driving the news: Granger, the 80-year-old chair of the Appropriations Committee, said in a statement it is "time for the next generation to step up and take the mantle and be a strong and fierce representative for the people."

• "I plan to serve out the remainder of my term and work with our new Speaker and my colleagues to advance our conservative agenda and finish the job I was elected to do," she said.

Buck's office confirmed to Axios he plans to retire in 2024. He said in an MSNBC interview there will probably be "some others in the near future" who will announce their retirements.

• "I always have been disappointed with our inability in Congress to deal with major issues," he said, also criticizing fellow Republicans for denying the 2020 election results and downplaying the Jan. 6. insurrection.
• Buck told Axios he wants to "have a voice outside Congress and not have to be hamstrung by what's going on in Congress."

What we're watching: Buck has expressed interest in working as a TV news commentator – potentially for CNN, a network on which he has appeared frequently to criticize GOP efforts to impeach President Biden.

• He was first elected in 2014 and is a member of the right-wing Freedom Caucus, but has recently split with fellow members over a variety of issues.

• He was one of the eight Republicans who voted to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

By the number: Buck and Granger's announcements make 21 House members not running for reelection this cycle – 14 Democrats and 6 Republicans.

• More than a dozen of those are seeking higher office – 11 are running for Senate and two for state attorney general.
• Six are retiring without any immediate plans to run for office, in addition to Buck and Granger.

Congress Buck Had Enough

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep Ken Buck has had enough.

When the Colorado Republican announced this past week that he would not seek reelection, he began with the type of criticism of Democratic policies that is standard fare for a hard-line conservative. But then Buck turned his ire to fellow Republicans, spending most of the three-minute announcement video accusing them of being “obsessively fixated on retribution and vengeance for contrived injustices of the past.”

Buck's scorched-earth approach caught few on Capitol Hill by surprise.


With a deadpan demeanor, an independent streak and a background as a federal prosecutor, Buck has gained national prominence as a House Republican fed up with Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 presidential election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden and the Trump allies in Congress who amplify them. It's a stand few others in the GOP are taking and is a remarkable turn that shows just how deeply Trump's once-fringe lies about that race have settled into the Republican mainstream.

Buck regularly appears on networks such as CNN and, with no plans to leave Congress before the end of his term, he probably will be a prominent foil to Republicans during his final months in office. His political heresy extends to the impeachment inquiry into Biden, which Buck has dismissed as baseless.

“Our nation is on a collision course with reality, and a steadfast commitment to truth — even uncomfortable truths — is the only way forward,” Buck said in the video.

Yet under political pressure in Colorado, Buck decided there was no way forward for him in Congress.

Trump celebrated Buck's impending departure, saying on social media that the congressman “knew long ago he could never win against MAGA, so now he is, like some past and present, auditioning” for a network television job. “MAGA” is short for the 2016 Trump campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

Buck is hardly the first GOP lawmaker to step away from Capitol Hill in frustration in recent years. But unlike other outspoken House Republicans who grew alienated from their colleagues before leaving office, such as former Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming or Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Buck hails from the far-right House Freedom Caucus, putting him at the center of the conservative movement.

Nearly every week, Buck leaves the Capitol complex to attend caucus meetings, where lawmakers strategize about how to disrupt business as usual in Washington. He has proposed drastic budget reductions, strict sanctions against TikTok and cuts for educational material that teaches slavery was central to the nation's founding.

Buck was also among the eight Republicans who voted to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. as speaker and accused him of failing to follow through on his promise to slash spending.

“The critical issue for me is to bend the spending curve and you do that with institutional changes,” Buck told The Associated Press in September. “Nobody has been willing to change this place.”

While Buck in his five House terms has aggressively pushed policy to the right, he has simultaneously resisted what he calls “a populist flavor in the party” that has ascended with Trump.

“Ken is a constitutionalist who tries to make good decisions based on principle,” said Texas Rep. Chip Roy, a fellow caucus member. "I think he’s an important voice, and I’ll certainly miss him.”

Buck has publicly feuded with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a high-profile Trump ally who calls Buck a “CNN wannabe.” Buck has criticized how Greene and other Republicans have become public advocates for people charged in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

“When I was teaching law school, I learned and taught certain constitutional principles,” Buck told a Denver radio show, referencing his time at the University of Denver. “When Marjorie Taylor Greene was teaching CrossFit, she learned a whole different set of values, evidently, because my idea of what this country should be like is based on the Constitution.” Greene was once a co-owner of CrossFit affiliate gym in Georgia.

Buck's experience in constitutional law predates his time teaching law school. After completing a bachelor’s degree at Princeton University and a law degree at the University of Wyoming, Buck worked for then-Wyoming Rep. Dick Cheney, who was the top Republican on the committee investigating the Reagan administration for the Iran-Contra affair. Cheney, who is Liz Cheney's father, eventually issued a minority report that argued that President Ronald Reagan had wide latitude to conduct foreign policy and described the president's actions as “mistakes in judgment, and nothing more.”

Buck called Iran-Contra a “constitutional crisis” that impressed upon him the importance of Congress not overstepping its powers. He also said a different approach to politics ruled Washington in those days: Democratic and Republican lawmakers were genuinely friends and built trust that led to bipartisan achievements.

Buck later returned to the West and a law career that included directing the criminal division of the U.S. attorney's office in Colorado. He departed the office after receiving a reprimand for remarks he made about a case to a defense attorney for gun dealers that undermined the prosecution. Buck was later elected as a district attorney in northeast Colorado.

Buck reentered national politics as the tea party gained prominence, and he ran against Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in 2010. Buck lost, and Colorado, then a battleground state, has become increasingly dominated by Democrats.

In 2014, Buck made a comeback, winning a House district that spans the entire eastern third of the state, from ranch land to Denver suburbs.

During his five terms in Congress, Buck for a time held a spot on the powerful House Rules Committee, where he sat next to Liz Cheney. He also was the top Republican on the House Judiciary's antitrust subcommittee. He gained a reputation as a strict conservative who would listen to Democrats and work with them on occasion.

“I’ve always found him to be incredibly straightforward, intellectually curious, willing to disagree without being disagreeable,” said Rep. Joe Neguse, a Colorado Democrat who represents a district adjacent to Buck's.

Buck formed an unlikely alliance with former Rep. David Cicilline when the Rhode Island Democrat was chairman of the antitrust panel. They managed to advance a series of bills that sought to diminish the power that tech companies such as Amazon, Apple, Meta and Google hold in the online market. Some bills were signed into law by Biden.

Cicilline said Buck defied the will of both Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, who was the Judiciary Committee's top Republican and is now the chairman, and McCarthy, who was the House Republican leader before becoming speaker, as Buck worked on the investigations into the tech companies.

“He has demonstrated that he does what he thinks is right, even if it means standing up to his own party leadership,” said Cicilline, who left office in May to head a nonprofit.

In recent weeks, Buck was at the center of moves against both McCarthy and Jordan. He provided a crucial vote to oust McCarthy. Then when hard-line conservatives made Jordan the Republican nominee for speaker, Buck voted against him. Alone among Republicans, Buck said he was opposing Jordan because he had not clearly stated that Biden won the 2020 election.

Buck said opposing Jordan unleashed a wave of vitriol from Republican activists and led to him being evicted from a district office in Colorado.

This past week, Trump called Buck a “weak and ineffective Super RINO,” or Republicans In Name Only. The next day, Buck testified about a legal effort in Colorado to ban Trump from the ballot under the Constitution’s “insurrection clause." True to form, Buck's stance defied easy categorization. He testified against banning Trump from the election.

Buck said the events of recent weeks showed him the House no longer allowed for reasonable disagreement.

“This is a real honor to serve here," he said, "But it’s also a pain in the rear end."

Democrat Andy Beshear wins reelection in Kentucky governor’s race
by Julia Mueller - 11/07/23 7:46 PM ET

Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear was projected to win reelection in Kentucky, according to Decision Desk HQ, fending off a challenge from his former President Trump-backed Republican challenger.

Beshear, who has seen strong approval despite being the Democratic governor of a red state, defeated Republican state Attorney General Daniel Cameron after a competitive race, winning his second term in the governor’s mansion.


He will hold onto the seat he flipped blue back in 2019, when he beat then-Gov. Matt Bevin (R).

Polls generally showed Beshear holding onto a lead ahead of Tuesday’s elections — but an Emerson College Polling survey released last week found Beshear and Cameron tied at 47 percent each.

Kentucky has been a closely watched contest amid the off-year elections, sandwiched between last year’s midterms and next November’s presidential election. The gubernatorial race in the Bluegrass State — as well as another in Mississippi — are being looked at for insights about how Democrats can fare in deep-red states.

• Election Day 2023 live updates: Beshear projected to win reelection in Kentucky governor’s race

Kentucky voted for Trump by roughly 30 points in 2016 and by around 26 points in 2020 — and President Biden has remained unpopular in the state. An Emerson College poll from October found Biden with just a 22 percent approval rating among Kentucky voters.

At the same time, Democrat Beshear has been noted as one of the most popular governors in the country.

Some strategists have pointed to the Kentucky and Mississippi governor’s races as opportunities for their respective winners to emerge as more prominent political stars.


Cameron worked along the campaign trail to tie Beshear to Biden and knock the incumbent governor on inflation, crime rates and social issues. Beshear leaned into abortion, painting Cameron as extreme for supporting Kentucky’s abortion ban, which notably includes no exceptions for rape or incest.

Ohio voters enshrine abortion rights in state constitution
NBC News projects that Ohio voters have passed Issue 1, yet another win for abortion-rights supporters at the ballot box after the fall of Roe v. Wade.




Nov. 7, 2023, 7:01 PM MST
By Adam Edelman
Ohio voters have added the right to access abortion care to the state's constitution, NBC News projects — another major political victory for abortion-rights advocates in the nearly 17 months since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.

The passage of the Issue 1 ballot measure inserts language in the state constitution guaranteeing every person in Ohio the right “to one’s own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion” and barring the state from “burdening, penalizing or prohibiting” those rights — though it specifies that abortion will remain prohibited after the point that a doctor judges the fetus would likely survive birth, with exceptions to protect the mother’s life or health.


Approval of the ballot measure marks yet another victory for abortion rights advocates, this time in a state that Donald Trump twice carried by 8-point margins. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the national right to abortion access in its June 2022 Dobbs decision, ballot measures backing abortion rights have won in every election so far, even in conservative states including Kentucky and Kansas — and in an August special election in Ohio that served as a proxy battle ahead of November’s constitutional amendment fight.


Tuesday’s outcome further demonstrates that abortion could remain a major liability for Republicans in elections. Like in Ohio, polling has shown that voters across the country broadly favor abortion protections — a fact that Democrats successfully leveraged last year to keep control of the U.S. Senate, fend off a red wave in the House and win several governorships. Next year, it is likely to be central to President Joe Biden's campaign for re-election.


In Ohio, passage of the amendment will effectively counteract the state's “heartbeat bill,” which took effect immediately after the Dobbs decision and banned most abortions — with exceptions for the health of the pregnant woman and ectopic pregnancies — but remains temporarily blocked by a state judge.

That case is now before the state Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments in September.



Groups on both sides of the abortion fight spent millions in the run-up to an August election in Ohio — another ballot measure campaign, that one over whether to make it harder to amend the state constitution in the future, including raising the threshold for success to 60% instead of a simple majority. That ballot measure lost in August. Its resounding defeat was a clear win for reproductive rights advocates in Ohio, and in many ways paved the way for the success of the measure approved Tuesday.

Following that campaign, reproductive rights groups began far outspending anti-abortion groups in the fight over the November measure.

Since Aug. 9, groups supporting the November Issue 1 measure spent $23.7 million on advertising, compared to $10.7 million spent by the anti-abortion groups against the amendment, according

It was a very good night for Democrats. As it stands right now it looks like Democrats will win both houses in Virginia. And came very close to winning the governorship in Mississippi of all places.

 

Democrats win in several states on abortion rights and other highlights from Tuesday's elections
NICHOLAS RICCARDI
Updated Wed, November 8, 2023 at 12:00 AM MST·5 min read


WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats had plenty of good news to celebrate in Tuesday’s off-year elections and more evidence that they can win races centered on the national debate over abortion.

Abortion rights supporters won an Ohio ballot measure and the Democratic governor of beet-red Kentucky held onto his office by campaigning on reproductive rights and painting his opponent as extremist. A Democrat won an open seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court after campaigning on his pledge to uphold abortion rights. And Democrats took full control of the Virginia statehouse, blocking Republicans from being able to pass new abortion restrictions and delivering a defeat to Gov. Glenn Youngkin
that may douse any buzz about a late entry into the GOP presidential primary.

The victories won't be enough to make Democrats feel secure heading into next year’s presidential election. The off-year elections have major implications in all of those states and provide a snapshot of American politics heading into 2024. But two big names — Joe Biden and Donald Trump — weren't on the ballot this time. How Americans view them will be a huge factor in shaping next year's race.


Here are some key results from Tuesday’s voting.

ABORTION REMAINS POTENT FOR DEMOCRATS

Democrats notched two early wins Tuesday night in Kentucky and Ohio, states that voted for Trump in 2020. In both states, abortion was the main campaign issue.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was reelected in a state that Trump had won by 26 percentage points. Beshear had criticized the abortion views of his Republican challenger, Attorney General Daniel Cameron, in debates and television ads. One Beshear ad featured a woman who miscarried after being raped by her stepfather at age 12 expressing disbelief at Cameron's opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest.

In Ohio, a ballot measure preserving abortion rights passed in a state that Trump won by eight percentage points in 2020. Republicans had already tried to derail the measure by calling an unusual August referendum to make it harder to pass ballot measures, an initiative that was roundly rejected by Ohio voters.

Later Tuesday, Dan McCaffery won an open seat on Pennsylvania's Supreme Court after positioning himself as a defender of abortion rights. And in Virginia, Democrats held the state Senate and flipped control of the Virginia House of Delegates from the GOP.

The outcomes suggest a transformed political landscape since a conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a federal right to an abortion last year. Abortion rights measures have passed in a plethora of states as some other Republican-run states have instituted new bans on the procedure.

Abortion rights may not be a potent enough issue to swing an election on its own. Several GOP governors who supported new bans cruised to reelection last year, including Ohio’s Mike DeWine, Florida’s Ron DeSantis and Texas’ Greg Abbott.

But abortion was the key issue across the country on Tuesday. And that should worry Republicans in competitive races next year.

GOOD NIGHT FOR DEMOCRATS, BUT MAYBE NOT FOR 2024

It was a good night for Democrats following a series of wins in special elections and comes after a stronger performance in last year's midterms, which are usually crushing for the party in power in Washington.

But none of the races were an up-or-down decision on the incumbent president, Biden. And none featured Trump on the ballot or his ability to turbocharge turnout of infrequent voters.

Democrats have performed well in recent special elections and did better than expected in 2022. It increasingly seems like the party starts from a position of strength. But it's not clear that translates to its 80-year-old president, who faces widespread skepticism about his job performance and whether he is too old to serve a second term.

We'll have to wait until 2024 to see how Biden fares.

YOUNGKIN FALLS SHORT

Glenn Youngkin burst on the political scene in 2021, winning an upset victory to become the Republican governor of Virginia, a state Biden won handily the previous year. Putting a moderate, suburban dad spin on modern Republicanism, Youngkin generated buzz that he could even make a late, surprise entry into the GOP presidential primary after this month’s elections.

Instead, Youngkin said he would focus on the 2023 legislative elections and winning full Republican control over Virginia government. Things did not go the way he hoped.

Youngkin raised tens of millions of dollars for Republicans to defend their majority in Virginia’s House of Delegates and win control of the Senate, which Democrats narrowly held in 2021. Among the things the legislature could do with that majority, he said, was pass a 15-week abortion ban he favored.

Youngkin didn’t really have a path forward in the presidential primary — his window to get on the ballot has already closed in some states. Virginia has an unusual single-term limit for governors, making Youngkin’s political future even more of a question.

Whatever he does, he’ll have to explain 2023. And he'll face unified Democratic control of the statehouse for the rest of his term.

DEMOCRATS' HEARTBREAK HOTEL

It was a good night for Democrats, but it could only go so far.

The party invested heavily in an unlikely place: Mississippi, where Brandon Presley, best known as Elvis Presley’s second cousin, was challenging Republican Gov. Tate Reeves.

The party hoped that Presley’s celebrity and political skills, coupled with the change in a centuries-old provision originally designed to keep Black candidates from winning statewide races, could spell an unlikely victory. But it was not to be.

Reeves won the race. There are limited lessons to draw from a party falling short in a state its 2020 presidential candidate lost by 17 points, except one of the oldest — you can’t win ’em all.

HISTORIC FIRSTS

Political candidates broke barriers in a handful of wins Tuesday.

Former Biden White House aide Gabe Amo will become the first Black member of Congress from Rhode Island after winning the special election in that state’s first congressional district.

The son of West African immigrants, Amo emerged from a 12-candidate September primary to succeed retiring Rep. David Cicilline. On Tuesday, Amo defeated Republican Gerry Leonard, a Marine veteran, in the heavily Democratic district.

And Philadelphia will have its first female mayor after Democrat Cherelle Parker defeated Republican David Oh in the overwhelmingly Democratic city.

Boebert supporters in Colorado can neither feel shame nor embarrassment. The more stupid and ignorant Boebert is the better to them. In fact to them Boebert probably seems smart.



Watch: Lauren Boebert gets shut down after being unable to answer Dem's simple question

Travis Gettys

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert speaks during CPAC Texas 2022 conference at Hilton Anatole. (Shutterstock.com)


Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) got wrecked in a one-on-one debate on the House floor with Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD).

The Colorado Republican tried to add an amendment to a spending bill that she said would prohibit any funds from being used to violate federal immigration law regarding so-called sanctuary cities, and the Maryland Democrat tried to find out what in the world she was talking about.

"I rise in perplexion," Hoyer said, and they engaged in some brief back-and-forth on hearing rules before the veteran lawmaker explained what Boebert should do. "I'm asking you to yield for a question."

"Sure," Boebert said. "Ask your question."

"What funds in this bill are used for the purposes are opposed to?" Hoyer asked.

Boebert huddled briefly with an aide before answering.

"Sorry, I couldn't hear the gentleman, I was getting clarification," she said. "This is precautionary."

"Precautionary for what?" Hoyer asked.

"There are sanctuary city policies that are in place that are allowing the refuge of illegal aliens in this and there is an influx of crime and drugs in these cities and there is no way for these folks to even report what is taking place because they are protected under this fake policy that has been created that is subduing the actual rule of law that we have in the Constitution of the United States," Boebert said.

"I understand that, but what you've said none of the funds in this bill can be spent for that objective," Hoyer replied. "What funds are in this bill that are to be spent for this objective?"

"I have seen this administration use all sorts of funds to protect illegal aliens," Boebert said, and Hoyer reclaimed his time.

"There are no funds in this bill to do that," he said. "So this is just an opportunity for you to stand and perhaps speak about an important subject, I understand that. But there are no funds in this bill to accomplish that objective. You don't believe that the chairman would put funds in to accomplish that objective, do you?"

Boebert said she did not trust the Biden administration with taxpayer money, and she said if Hoyer believed there was no funding for sanctuary cities then he should support her amendment, and he again explained the points of order approved by the GOP-led Rules Committee and suggested her argument was inane.

"If we do this amendment, any subject that anybody has an interest in would be subject to such an amendment," Hoyer said. "The rules committee has waived points of order, contrary to what they said they wanted done when we were in charge, because they didn't want points of order, but there are no funds in this bill, Mr. Speaker, for the objective that the gentlelady wants to prevent."

"This amendment has no place in this bill because there is no money in this bill," he added. "You can argue about the sanctuary cities and argue about the border and do all of that, but this is not the bill to do it on."

And we of course have to look for the rest of the story, cause American hater and wrong story.

It seems that the bill at issue was the Treasury department spending bill and also apparently, the white house spending bill.
And the issue was to make sure the Biden Administration wouldn't end up using any of that money to fund activities for ILLEGAL migrants in Sanctuary cities.
By the way, this is an amendment that Representative Boebert can be counted on to put on just about any spending bill.
Representative Boebert, we understand, strenuously objects to use of Federal Funds to support sanctuary cities or ILLEGAL migrants.

In any case, we haven't (and won't) bother to dig into the specifics of the bill(s) at issue, because frankly, we already know the Biden administration will do anything they can get away with to fund and support ILLEGAL migrants.
And we can't help but notice that the article is talking all about ILLEGAL migrants, but doesn't use the term ILLEGAL or for that matter, the preferred liberal term for ILLEGAL "undocumented".

But we did find this bit of relevant news and wonder how in the HELL any American can possibly support such a use of public money?​

President Biden, state and city launching migrant work permit program (chicagotribune.com)

President Biden, Illinois and Chicago officials launching a one-stop work permit program for migrants
By Rick Pearson and Dan Petrella
Chicago Tribune

Last Updated: Nov 07, 2023 at 5:22 pm

President Joe Biden’s administration, in a joint effort with state and Chicago officials and The Resurrection Project, will launch a pilot program Thursday aimed at expediting work permits to some of the city’s burgeoning migrant population.

The program consists of a one-stop work authorization clinic aimed at serving approximately 150 migrants per day. It will be open to eligible noncitizens. The White House said the program with The Resurrection Project, a housing and immigrant assistance agency, will be scaled up in the coming days.

Previous clinics in other cities have more than doubled the number of work authorization applications compared with previous weekly averages, the administration said.

Chicago and New York have been forced to deal with an influx of asylum-seekers from the southern border, many bused by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to Democratic cities.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson traveled to Washington, D.C., last week with other mayors, seeking congressional authorization of $5 billion in assistance, a sizable ask compared with the $1.4 billion that Biden is seeking from Congress.

“The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to supporting local jurisdictions hosting recently arrived migrants,” a White House spokesperson said.

In September, the administration announced it was granting temporary legal status for an estimated 472,000 Venezuelans who had arrived in the country as of July 31. Temporary legal status allows the granting of eligibility for work permits in renewable increments of up to 18 months. Many of Chicago’s recent migrant population traveled from Venezuela.

Though a work permit fee can cost several hundred dollars, those fees are likely to be waived.

Thursday’s launch of the pilot program will come on a day when Biden is scheduled to visit the Chicago area and Belvidere, where he’s expected to deliver remarks and meet with United Auto Workers members, UAW President Shawn Fain and Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

The event in Belvidere is a political victory lap for Biden in celebrating a UAW agreement amid a commitment by Stellantis that it will reopen the Belvidere auto assembly plant for electric vehicle manufacturing as well as build a related EV battery manufacturing plant, which is expected to create thousands of jobs. Biden previously joined striking UAW workers and is seeking the union’s endorsement.

The White House said the migrant aid had been previously in the works and was unrelated to the president’s visit.

The federal move comes as the Illinois Department of Human Services reached out to employees of multiple state agencies seeking Spanish-speaking volunteers to help with workshops to assist asylum-seekers with filling out applications for temporary protected status and work authorization.

“Volunteers will receive training in advance (on the same day that you volunteer for) and will not be responsible for the final application submission, as it will be reviewed by an immigration attorney prior to completion,” an email sent last week read. “Volunteers will be responsible for their own transportation (site TBD in Chicago) and will be paid at their regular rate for their regularly scheduled hours of work. Volunteer acceptance is contingent upon your supervisors’ approval.”

A spokeswoman for the department declined to provide specifics about when the events would be held, saying only that they’ll be in Chicago in November and December.

“Migrants in shelters will be notified and provided transportation to the locations,” agency spokeswoman Rachel Otwell said in an email. “Locations for application events are still being finalized.”

There are roughly 11,000 asylum-seekers in Chicago shelters who may qualify for either of the programs, Otwell said.

And we can't help but note that the State of Illinois is calling for spanish speaking state employees to volunteer to help process the expected avalanche of applications from ILLEGAL migrants seeking work. Notably, we see that state employees will need to find their own way to the locations where applications will be accepted, but ILLEGAL MIGRANTS will get free transportation, likely from their free housing location to their free job seeking location.​

Democrat flips deep-red New Jersey assembly seat in upset

• 
  

Democrats have successfully flipped a seat in New Jersey’s General Assembly in a a deep-red district that has not elected a Democratic legislator in three decades.

Decision Desk HQ projects that Democrat Avi Schnall has won a seat in the assembly, unseating incumbent Republican Assemblyman Ned Thomson. Voters in each New Jersey legislative district choose two assembly members to represent them, so the contest was a four-way race featuring two Democrats and two Republicans.

Schnall was elected alongside incumbent Republican Assemblyman Sean Kean in the 30th District.


Schnall is a former New Jersey director of an organization that advocates for the interests of Orthodox Jews called Agudath Israel of America. He received significant backing from the township of Lakewood’s Orthodox Jewish community.

He’s also reportedly a former Republican and could vote with Republicans in the assembly on some issues. But the flip is still a big win for Democrats.

The New Jersey Globe reported that the district supported Republican gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli in 2021 by 28 points and has not elected a Democratic lawmaker since 1992.

The district also overwhelmingly reelected its Republican state senator to another term.

The district will now have a relatively rare split delegation between its assembly seats, with one Democrat and one Republican representing its residents.

Democrats Hold Essential Pennsylvania Supreme Court Seat In Latest Abortion Campaign Test

Superior Court Judge Daniel McCaffery, a Democrat, defeated Republican Judge Carolyn Carluccio in a closely watched race to fill a vacant Pennsylvania Supreme Court seat on Tuesday.

McCaffery’s win is the latest in a string of victories for Democrats running on an abortion rights platform following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade and ending national abortion rights protections. His campaign was supported by state and national reproductive rights groups that spent millions on advertising and grassroots efforts in the highly competitive swing state.

Abortion is legal in Pennsylvania through the 23rd week of pregnancy. The policy is supported by wide margins of Pennsylvania voters, with almost 90% stating support for legal abortion in some or all cases, according to an August 2022 poll conducted by Franklin & Marshall College.

The election was held to fill the seat of Chief Justice Max Baer, who died in 2022. McCaffery’s win preserves the 5-2 majority that Democrats held on the court before Baer’s death. While the court’s balance of power was not threatened in this election, McCaffery’s win significantly buoys Democrats’ chances of holding the court long-term as two Democratic justices face retention elections in 2025.

Carluccio has not had the opportunity to rule on abortion-related questions as a judge on the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas and she made little mention of her position on abortion during the campaign. But she was endorsed by state-level anti-abortion groups like PA Pro-Life Federation and the Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania. Reproductive rights groups and other Democratic Party-aligned groups hammered her for these endorsements. McCaffery, on the other hand, stated his opposition to the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on the campaign trail.

The judicial race also has ramifications for voting rights and gerrymandering policies. Carluccio had said that the state’s mail-in voting law, known as Act 77, is “very bad for our Commonwealth” and “very bad for just faith in our system” during her run for the Republican nomination.

The result may also bode well for Democrats in this closely watched swing state ahead of the 2024 election: The party is counting on continued anger over the court’s decision overturning Roe to drive turnout, as it did in the 2022 midterms. At first glance, McCaffery’s victory signals that that message still propels Democratic turnout and attracts support from swing voters.

And what does the constitution say about sitting presidents who try to overturn an election he lost?

 

This is fake and laughable. "Free citizens" who try to take the law into their hands get arrested and/or shot.

And President Biden is doing everything he legally can the flow of migrants seeking asylum. But he needs immigration reform to be able to do more and treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans are refusing to do it.


So if you are looking for traitors it is them.

 

Oh, really, American hater?
What, exactly, is brandon doing to "legally can the flow of migrants seeking asylum"?
Where's his immigration reform package?
You mean that pork he submitted in 2021?
Or do you mean the Myorkas plan to turn ICE into a travel agency for ILLEGAL MIGRANTS??​

Two MILLION ILLEGAL migrants in the country under the Biden administration and Myorkas whines about incarcerating them.
An uncertain number of potential terrorists in the country as "undocumented migrants".
Brandon and his open borders policy is the traitor and you know it.​

 

There might actually be something to this. Not too long ago there was quite a little buzz that Taylor Swift was encouraging her followers to get involved in politics and would especially encourage them to vote. And I was wonde3ring well just how much impact could that have? And then they pointed out Swift has 276 million followers, and many of them, especially the Swifties, hang on her every word. And for us progressive/liberal/Democrats elections always come down to turn out. If we can get our supporters, especially young voters to turn out we win. And I then I thought that really could help but will she follow through. And Swift has.

Which is terrifying for treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans. Check out Rick Santorum.

Rick Santorum Blames ‘Very Sexy’ Issue of Abortion for ‘Disaster’ in Ohio


Former Republican senator turned Newsmax pundit Rick Santorum says “very sexy” issues like abortion bringing out young voters is evidence that “pure democracies are not the way to run a country.” Speaking late Tuesday after Ohio voters approved a measure legalizing recreational marijuana and a separate measure to uphold the right to abortion in the state’s constitution, Santorum said including such topics on the ballot means “a lot of young people come out and vote.” “It was a secret sauce for disaster in Ohio. I don’t know what they were thinking,” he said. “That’s why, thank goodness that most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot. Because pure democracies are not the way to run a country.”

Far-right hosts are blaming the GOP's big election losses on Taylor Swift

  Some far-right commentators are blaming Taylor Swift for the GOP's Tuesday election losses.
  
  
• Both Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiec vented about Swift's political sway.
  
  
• The pop star encouraged her fans to vote, but a GOP strategist warned election losses weren't her fault.
  

Far-right commentators are putting the blame for the GOP's major election losses during Tuesday's races on one celeb: Taylor Swift.

On Tuesday, the pop superstar encouraged her fans to vote in their local elections, writing on Instagram: "Voters gonna vote!"

"It's Election Day! If you are registered to vote in Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas or Virginia, it's time to use your voice," Swift wrote, sharing a link to Vote.org.


Though Swift didn't explicitly endorse anyone in this election, right-wing hosts bemoaned the power of the Swifties.

Activist Jack Posobiec said in a Wednesday post to his more than 2.3 million followers on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, that the billionaire global pop sensation was "influencing an army of voters."

"Republicans still haven't internalized that the Left promotes abortion as a pro-feminism issue. They aren't voting to kill babies, they're voting bc of feminist movies like Barbie and pop stars like Taylor Swift influencing an army of voters," Posobiec wrote.

He fumed in another all-caps post that "THE CHILDLESS, UNMARRIED ABORTION ARMY MOBILIZED BY BARBIE, TAYLOR SWIFT, AND TIKTOK" was "CRUSHING REPUBLICANS AT THE BALLOT BOX."

Far-right firebrand media personality Charlie Kirk also went after Swift on his talk radio show on Wednesday, saying that the Republican Party "better have a plan" for the "Anti-Hero" singer's influence over young voters.

"Taylor Swift is going to come out in the presidential election and she is going to mobilize her fans," Kirk warned his viewers on Wednesday, adding, "And we're going to be like, 'Oh wow, where did all these young, female voters come from?' We better have a plan for that."

Kirk continued: "All the Swifties want is swift abortion. That's what they want. It's 100%."

The right-wing host then took a shot at Swift, saying, "We act as if she is like Mother Mary or something. Newsflash, she ain't Mother Mary."

Swift broke her long political silence in 2018 to endorse two Democratic candidates from Tennessee. She also expressed her support for LGBTQ rights and condemned systemic racism.

The music superstar announced ahead of the 2020 election that her White House pick was President Joe Biden and this year has urged her more than 270 million Instagram followers to register to vote, leading to "record-breaking" registrations.

Reps for Swift did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Insider on Thursday.

Posobiec and Kirk's commentary comes after Democrats saw a wave of major victories in Tuesday's elections. Among them included Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear's re-election win in Kentucky, Democrats winning majorities in Virginia's state House of Delegates and state Senate, and Ohio voters approving a measure to codify the right to an abortion in the state's constitution.

Some Republican White House hopefuls blamed former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, for the GOP's Tuesday election losses.

But Republican strategist Doug Heye suggested to the Washington Examiner that that's a stretch.

"We've set up a construct in America where everything has to be viewed through the prism of either Donald Trump or Taylor Swift, and that's not reality," Heye told the news outlet.

Meanwhile, Swifties on TikTok seemed to be relishing the attention.

Political activist Olivia Julianna shared a clip of Kirk's comments with the text "Swifties… you know what to do," along with a link to Vote.org.

"Ooohh, look what you made us do," one user replied.

"Should we make friendship bracelets for voting day??" another asked.
