Would the GOP expand SCOTUS?

I saw a few weeks ago that a GOP congressman was looking to revive a formerly attempted Democratic bill that would expand the courts. Considering the current SCOTUS has signalled being less than lukewarm about Trump's proposals, how likely is it that the GOP and Trump will expand the court so they can get more friendly justices? Thinking a Justice Rick Scott, Ted Cruz, Lauren Boebert?

Adam Gray (D-CA13) extends his lead to 234 votes

There are very few votes left to count, and Duarte would have to win almost every single one in order to retake the lead. It's done.

The House of Representatives will be 220R-215D

Most likely.


Or is is it 219-215 since Gaetz is gone. Or really 218-215 because of Waltz (R) being in Trumps cabinet. Well no... 217-215 if you add in Elise Stefanik as another vacant seat in January. 🤔

But seriously, how fucked are we?

On a scale of 1(not fucked at all and everything is going to be just fine) to 10(Nazi Germany wins world War 2 and Man in the High Castle shit takes effect -but with more nuking), how seriously fucked is humanity as a direct or indirect consequence of Trump winning this election?

Just a reminder that the 2024 election result does indicate we are generally pretty much fucked.

But not NEARLY as fucked as we all probably think we are.

My latest delusion: Class action lawsuit against Musk/ Trump

Most class action lawsuits don't do shit to the people they are targeting. But if the people in question are representative of the entire country, happen to be the richest people in the world, and whose class is representative of a large portion of the country, how far could one go in the end? 🤔

Can you successfully bring a class action lawsuit against the president of the United States?
