Pennsylvania Republican is upset the state Supreme Court wouldn’t let them keep their gerrymandered districts so now he’s trying to impeach five of the judges https://t.co/JnHakPNUIH

Good @boltsmag article on 2022's state Supreme Court elections, which could lead to courts that green-light Republican gerrymanders in NC and OH later this decade. https://t.co/SSMDd5UVGZ

State supreme court elections attracted more money in the 2019-20 cycle — including more spending by special interests — than any judicial election cycle in history, according to a new report by the @BrennanCenter, using OpenSecrets data. https://t.co/Hc99iUvCM3 pic.twitter.com/R8Lu3pWAKK

Courts have handed Democrats some of their biggest victories of the redistricting cycle, but between upcoming state judicial elections and an increasingly conservative Supreme Court, they shouldn’t get too comfortable.

Good morning. We have some history being made today.

Glenn Youngkin is the first Virginia Governor to ever poll with a majority disapproval rating anytime in his first year in office. He did it in just over a month!

Pass it on so we all recognize his historic accomplishment.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin distanced himself Monday from a tweet mocking a teenager that went out Saturday on his campaign account, calling it “unauthorized,” but the teen has said he has not had an apology from the governor or his staff. https://t.co/5lnzqeUU3C

Cheerful suburban dad Glenn Youngkin convinced many Virginia parents that their children were under threat of CRT indoctrination.

Now Republicans in the state plan to:

* cancel minimum wage hike
* require voter ID
* cut early voting
* expand open carryhttps://t.co/kS60KSsG3v pic.twitter.com/R8vH5wCOFv

New: 150+ ex-Environmental Protection Agency employees are uging the Virginia Senate to oppose the nomination of former EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler to GOP Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin’s cabinet. They wrote to senators in a letter first shared with @AP. https://t.co/FymjMcY2za

I've been told incoming AG @JasonMiyaresVA just FIRED the entire civil rights division in the Attorney General's office. My bill helped create and expand the authority that this division uses.

Bold of Glenn Youngkin to choose someone who believed (in 2019) that “both sides of the Holocaust” need to be taught. Among other Islamophobic and reprehensible comments. https://t.co/nbV0ZhCtlY https://t.co/78ycTfnj7n

.@MaddowBlog: Glenn Youngkin campaigned that Virginians need not fear Republican governance in Virginia. Those assumptions are due for a reevaluation. https://t.co/MeDvHpkLlU

— MSNBC (@MSNBC) January 12, 2022

To repeat, the mainstream media treatment of Youngkin, a clever campaigner appealing to the Trumpists but really a moderate or mainstreamer, was ridiculous. He is a radical Trumpist, picking radical Trumpists for key positions. https://t.co/82QXqy2F4t

— Norman Ornstein (@NormOrnstein) January 10, 2022

I tried warn people about this during the campaign. #Youngkin telegraphed this early on. He said, if you elected him, you were electing “a whole new crop of Republicans along with me.” That was code for Trumpers.
Should’ve been used against him, repeatedly.
Sigh. https://t.co/e0qhH6Km9c pic.twitter.com/JsVL5hWhhz

Youngkin is telling everyone that he plans to challenge vaccine mandates. @UVA just moved the booster deadline up to Jan.14th, one day before he takes office. Well played. pic.twitter.com/rZyxDKHopx
