Dunder Mifflin Effect.

We all know the Dunning Kruger Effect. Where people look ke Trump and the people he picks to run things are not only ignorant, but too stupid to know how little they know.
But the Dunder Mifflin Effect is always picking the absolute worst person to run things.

About the percent swing in Tennessee

If this is indicative of a general trend, then the gerrymandered districts in Red States are in trouble. To make more Red districts the Repukes have to dilute their votes to spread out the GOP voters. If they are losing GOP votes, then new districts that they think they will win based on the last election totals will not hold up for them. The more they spread out GOP voters the closer the margins are.

'Big Short' investor Michael Burry says Tesla is 'ridiculously overvalued'

Can someone tell me how we take both Houses of Congress next year.

First the House is in complete flux and it will all depend on how various redrawn maps end up. I fear the SCOTUS will give the GOP the advantage, but we really can't say how that will go. Hopefully we can take it.
In the Senate, even winning all four toss up States, the GOP still has a 51-49 advantage plus the VP to break ties.
Sorry, even though America has soured on Trump and the GOP, that doesn't mean the elections will reflect it.

If anyone has anything from good sources to show different, I would love to read it.

The reason I ask is everything I have heard here is how we take Congress next year and stop Trump. But without the Senate....

There will be no vote on ACA subsidies

The GOP even stopped Trump from offering an onerous plan for extension. The 8 Democratic Senators gave in for nothing. The ACA will, in real terms, be dead in a year.
Well done!

We have not had a crisis or disaster not of Trump's making

and that is scary as hell. Because when the inevitable crisis happens, we will be so ill equipped as a country to deal with it that it could have Katrina/Chernobyl size ramifications. Or probably worse.

Is someone making a list?

There are daily decisions made by this Administration that are unjust, cruel, destructive and just plain crazy. From ending environmental protections, to removing Nursing from a designated profession, to overruling CDC science with dangerous nonsense, to making women and people of color disappear from official history (this just the last week)
So is anyone making a list so that the next Democratic President can rectify this insanity? Or will it take decades to recover from the Orange Menace?

WP: How billionaires took over American politics

What will be the results of the Epstein vote

Now that Trump and the Repukes have done a 180 on releasing the files, we can see several possible outcomes.
Bondi and the DOJ could say they are part of an ongoing investigation and can't be released.
The DOJ could redact every name they deem "sensitive" and spare anyone they choose.
The DOJ and the FBI could have scrubbed all mention of Trump and anyone else they want to protect and release altered falsified pages.
Trump could just figure that he hasn't lost any support from the MAGA or the entire GOP, so child rape might just be another thing they will ignore.
