"...And when this happens, we leave subjects that should have been pursued more relentlessly. Latter day Woodwards and Bernsteins jump to the next crisis, rather than chasing down the last one. And we, the citizens of this country, forget these horrors as they overwhelm us – even those of us who oppose Trump vehemently. What agreements did Trump actually make in Helsinki with Putin? What happened to those separated immigrant children? Why was sexual harasser Bill Shine allowed to be hired by the White House? Can we go back, please, before we move on?
We've compiled a list of, in our view, every significant outrageous event that has occurred since the Trump Inaugural in January, 2017. The list is meant to include unique events, so it does not repeat statements (“enemy of the state,” “fake news”). Yes, it includes some of Trump's more egregious lies. But, more importantly, it is a reminder of the outrages that may have been lost in the fog...."

BTRTN 2018 Senate Snapshot #3: The Most Complete State-by-State 2018 Senate Election Round-Up

"While on the surface this looks reasonably promising for the Dems, the odds continue to be strongly in favor of the GOP maintaining control of the Senate. There is a path to success for the Dems, and just as Trump found the 78,000 votes he needed to prevail in 2016, so could the Dems in 2018. But right now we peg those odds at a mere 20%. Why so low when the races themselves are adding up to 50 to 50? Basically, there are 12 races “in play,” where the margins are either miniscule (“toss ups”) or close (“leaning”) – and we have the Democrats leading in 8 of these 12. It is a daunting proposition to pull off such a feat, and the odds are against it..."

Question: Shouldn't the Dem Strategy on Kavanaugh Be to Delay Until Past the Midterms?
Use the millions of documents as a way to stretch it all out? That takes the pressure off the three Senators up for re-election who voted for Gorsuch (Manchin, Heitkamp, Donnelly). And then you have to pressure Collins and Murkowsky. Is this possible? If so, why not, if only to punish McConnell for the Merritt Garland fiasco. Is this right?

"...With all this going on, political analysts sternly forecast that this would be “Trump’s Katrina.” It was an easy memory hop to recall a disengaged George W. Bush peering down from Air Force One from 35,000 feet on a desperate New Orleans, and backslapping hapless FEMA director Michael Brown (“Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job”) when it was abundantly clear that a disaster was unfolding. But as of month’s end, Trump appears to have lost only two points with the “family separation” fiasco, as his supporters found many ways to excuse him. Trump ended the month with a 43% approval rating, which has been about the norm for 2018. Bush lost at least five points from Katrina..."

BTRTN: How the GOP Vision of Conservative Supreme Court Dominance Could Fall Apart
You never can be certain of anything with the Supreme Court:

"...But that does not mean this path does not face obstacles that could derail it – perhaps quickly. Let’s take a look at the many ways the GOP dream could still unravel.
The first hurdle is to nominate a candidate without a blemish, one who can actually make it through the confirmation process. Finding nick-free nominees is surprisingly difficult, and modern GOP presidents are particularly bad at it. Richard Nixon had two nominations fall apart, Clement Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell, both rejected by the Senate in turn upon discovery of their racist histories. Ronald Reagan fared poorly as well, first with his Robert Bork nomination failing when a Democratic-controlled Senate disapproved of Bork’s hard right views. Reagan then put forward Douglas Ginsburg, who had to withdraw when he admitted that he had smoked marijuana (inhaling and all). Reagan finally had to nominate a relative moderate candidate who flew through the Senate confirmation process -- a man by the name of Anthony Kennedy..."
