Some of the D governors and senators come with quite important drawbacks in that their replacements will be Rs or will face special elections
Probably nothing that would be deal breaking, but they'll need to consider.

I hear not. A new senator would be appointed by the Dem governor.

I have to say I kind of would like to see either a Harris/whitmer or Harris/Buttigieg ticket because either two women or a woman and a gay man potentially holdinf the most important offices in the country might just make some people's heads explode in the US.

And in other news...
The Conservative government did not carry out a legally required assessment of how greenlighting the use of a banned pesticide, described as a “death blow to wildlife”, would affect some of the most important nature sites, documents have revealed.
The previous government gave emergency approval this year for sugar beet farmers to use Cruiser SB for the fourth year in a row.
A single teaspoon of this pesticide is enough to deliver a lethal dose to 1.25 billion bees. In granting approval, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) went against the advice of the Health and Safety Executive and the UK expert committee on pesticides.
These bastards should never get in power again. Ever. Corrupt, destructive, uncaring. Never ever vote for these people who put profit over everything.

As for the Dem VP pick I get where y'all are coming from, but the race is very close and I think she will play it safe. But you can never tell... I mean, Dan Quayle and Sarah Palin, FFS.

Tom Tugendhat has become the second senior Tory to announce a leadership bid, indicating he would be prepared to quit the European Convention on Human Rights to protect the UK’s borders.
So there they go, their direction of travel moving ever rightwards. Good luck with that, you fascist sods.

Toucan-hat always makes me laugh. Every Tory leadership contest (there've been a few) up he pops, craters big style then disappears back into obscurity until the next.....
