That's what the FreeP called the near total victory of Democrats in yesterday's midterm elections. Stacy McCain calls it The End of Polls and Predictions and posts MIDTERM ELECTION RESULTS HQ. Lawrence. As Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog likes to say, Well, That Absolutely Fucking Sucked. Republicans lost both the House (reasonably expected) and the Senate (which we'd hoped to keep), with Muhammad Abdulrahman El-Sayed beating Mike Rogers in Michigan, and James 'Talafreako' overcoming Ken Paxton in Texas to become the first Democrat Senator from Texas for a long time. At Twitchy, 2026 Election Night Live: The Results Are In… and So Are the Hot Takes, Memes, and Meltdowns. Closer to home, Maryland passed, over my vote, Question 3, a duplicitously worded proposition to allow Democrats in the state legislature to redistrict in midterm to eliminate the sole congressional Republican representative, Andy Harris, from the Eastern Shore. The only question is whether they will follow through. I suspect they will.

Maryland Gets Money for Blue Catfish Control
Maryland Congressman Andy Harris has announced a multimillion-dollar U.S. Department of Agriculture grant fund aimed at expanding invasive catfish processing.
According to Harris’ office, the funding will provide grants ranging from $50,000 to $2 million to allow catfish processors to expand facilities, purchase equipment, and increase the number of invasive catfish processed.
Congressman Harris previously announced a similar round of funding in 2025, calling it a “big win” for coastal economies battling the invasive species. Here on the Chesapeake, the voracious fish pose a threat to native species such as striped bass, menhaden, shad, and blue crabs.
“Invasive blue catfish are reducing the blue crab and native fish populations that Maryland watermen harvest and sell,” Congressman Harris said in a statement on Wednesday, Sept. 9. “Increasing processing capacity will strengthen the market for wild-caught catfish, expand opportunities for watermen and seafood processors, and remove more invasive fish from the Bay. I thank Secretary Rollins and USDA for making this funding available to protect the Chesapeake Bay and strengthen Maryland’s seafood economy.”
It's worth noting that Andy Harris is Maryland's sole Republican representative, who the Democrats are desperately trying to gerrymander out of office.

Jay Rogers at TownHall, When 87 Percent Isn't Enough
On Wednesday, a judge in Annapolis handed Maryland Democrats a rare loss in a year when they usually get whatever they draw up. Democrats already hold seven of the state's eight congressional seats, 87.5 percent of the delegation, and Gov. Wes Moore called a special session in August hoping to grab the last one too. The judge said not so fast, at least for the November ballot. The state filed its appeal within hours. This fight is not over. But the ruling is worth sitting with, because it says something true about how power actually behaves. It never volunteers to share.
If they take away the last Republican seat, do I get to stop paying state taxes? No taxes with representation, after all.

AP, Maryland Democrats begin advancing redistricting constitutional amendment
Democrats who control the Maryland Legislature began advancing legislation Monday intended to clear the way for a partisan redistricting process that could help their party pick up an additional U.S. House seat by 2028.I suppose after the mid-decade redistricting by states like Texas and Florida, we should expect revenge. However, both Texas and Florida refrained from eliminating representation from Democrats. Maryland, which is about 60:40 D:R was already heavily gerrymandered, with 7:1 D representation. I wonder if Florida or Texas would have time to steal another seat in return?
The General Assembly heard hours of debate and testimony on a proposed constitutional amendment intended to give Democrats greater latitude to draw congressional maps favoring their party, which already represents seven of the state’s eight House districts. The legislation was expected to reach a vote on final passage Tuesday, and the proposed changes to the state constitution would have to be approved by voters before lawmakers could begin considering new district lines.
Deep blue Maryland’s move is the latest turn in the national battle over redistricting, which kicked off a year ago and has reshaped the U.S. House map ahead of this year’s midterms.
Leaders of the General Assembly — who have been vague about their future plans for redrawing districts but in recent years have attempted to craft 8-0 maps — have characterized their proposal as an attempt to make sure Maryland is well-positioned to respond to redistricting by red states and contribute to efforts to elect Democrats who could serve as a check on the Trump administration.
The state’s Republicans called the proposed amendment a blatant power grab aimed at ousting Maryland’s lone GOP representative in Congress, Rep. Andy Harris.
“Gerrymandering is wrong. Whether it’s in a red state, a blue state — it’s just wrong,” said state Sen. Mary Beth Carozza.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Supes Rule Prez can Fire Any Agency Head Except Fed
A number of case came down from on high at the Supreme Court yesterday, and it was a mixed bag for the President (as it usually is). The court ruled in Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v Wilcox that the President was free to fire the head of any executive agency, including those the Congress attempted to designate as "independent", but quickly tempered that by ruling in Trump v Cook that Trump could not fire Janet Cook from the Federal Reserve board without some kind of due process. Weird, but as my Daddy used say, consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. In Watson v. RNC they also ruled that states could count mail-in ballot that arrived after election day, as long as they were postmarked by election day. Althouse spent the day Waiting on the Supreme Court. I didn't. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair VIP, SCOTUS Slaughters Humphrey's Executor – But the Fed ... Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando, "In a stunning blow to Our Democracy™, SCOTUS has ruled that unelected bureaucrats can’t do whatever they want and run federal agencies like their personal fiefdoms in perpetuity," Quote Benjamin Ryan @benryanwriter, "NEWS: Supreme Court overrules a 90-year-old precedent and frees the president to fire independent agency heads The Supreme Court ruled today that President Trump can remove Federal Trade Commission members at will, and in doing so it overruled Humphrey's Executor, the 1935 decision that has protected independent agencies for nine decades. The case is Trump v. Slaughter, and it reshapes the federal bureaucracy..." Sundance at CTH, Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That President Can Remove Any Agency Head in Executive Branch.

In other Supreme Court news, Matt Margolis is pissed SCOTUS Just Let a Rigged Verdict Against President Trump Stand, E Jean Carroll. Althouse also reports on Chatrie v. United States: "Police officers conducted a Fourth Amendment search when they acquired Chatrie’s location data from Google because an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in his cell-phone location information. Justice Kagan writes the majority opinion, joined by the Chief and Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Kavanaugh, and Jackson.

From the College Fix, Trump admin caught $150 million in fraudulent student loans in past months. The Post Millennial @TPostMillennial, "Trump Education Dept. blocks $150 MILLION in fraudulent student loans amid California 'ghost student' scam: "We have turned education in this country into a piggy bank for the worst people you can imagine, and the Biden administration did nothing about this!"" Scott McLallen at TownHall, DOJ Sues Four States That Refused to Hand Over SNAP Data. John Solomon at JTN reports Treasury Secretary vows law-breaking leftist nonprofits to face prosecution, asset seizures. "Bessent's crackdown comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order last fall asking federal agencies to better police tax-exempt organizations, which have exploded in size and mission far beyond traditional charities." I'm not entirely sure we need tax-exempt organizations.
Driscoll at Insty, BUTTIGIEG SEPARATED FROM CHILDREN AFTER BEING TARGETED BY FALSE CPS REPORT: “Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said he was briefly separated from his 4-year-old twins after an anonymous caller filed a false report with Child Protective Services concerning his family. Buttigieg wrote about the swatting-like incident in a lengthy Substack post on Friday, detailing his encounter with Michigan State Police.” Scalito @Legally_Italian, "Amy Coney Barrett was swatted last month. Neither Pete Buttigieg nor Mark commented on it. The New York Times did not do a story on it. I like Mark, but the truth is the only thing new about this story is that it happened to a Democrat. It’s ho-hum and commonplace for conservatives." Quote Mark Halperin @MarkHalperin, "Everyone, including those who oppose @PeteButtigieg politically, should speak out about this in a forceful manner. x.com/jason/status/2…" At Althouse "A Terrible Thing Happened to My Family," writes Pete Buttigieg. "At Substack. I don't think he's accusing Child Protective Services or the police of handling the complaint improperly. Should they have done anything differently? Read the essay carefully and tell me what you think. I believe the answer is no." Has anyone considered the possibility that whoever reported Buttigieg saw something concerning. At least CPS doesn't usually break down the door, use flash-bangs and start shooting.

"Iran shot more than 8,000 missiles and drones and only two hits resulted in U.S. fatalities,” said Capt.

Hawkins also said the U.S. military inflicted far more damage to Iran than it received, with the U.S. striking more than 13,500 targets." My comment: that's not how narratives work.

An agreement between the U.S. and Kazakhstan has given a group of American investors with ties to the president and the commerce secretary access to one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten."" Sundance has a theory on Why The Ukraine War is Hardest to End? "Mike Steger from Promethean Action PAC argues the reason the Ukraine war is hardest to end is simply because Ukraine represents the proxy state of all the globalist stakeholders who need another large conflict in order to eliminate the problem of a moral-based Christian perspective within the ‘West.’" Drek. The war is hard to end because both sides have a lot at stake. At this point Putin has his reputation at stake and I suspect that he truly believe Ukraine should be part of Russia. Moreover, given that defense is generally easier than offence, the greater size and population of Russia is largely offset. And superior Ukrainian innovation in drone is starting to make inroads.
