"GOP Whines Over Biden Social Security Attacks" From TPM.
3/4 of Republican Reps Last Year… Again from TPM
It is official …. there will be a Republican Presidential primary contest. Nikki Haley chose to abandon her earlier pledge not to run against Donald Trump and has become the first announcement of a “major” alternative candidate. Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark sums up the import of the announcement:
I wonder how she’ll do in a Colorado Republican primary contest. With her appeal for a “new generation” Republican who can appeal to everyone, I’m thinking she might be as successful as Kristi Burton Brown.
Nikki Haley can't wipe the Trumpstink off fast enough. She's going to play a little pretend game like she never worked for the worst presidential administration in American history. I don't think that's going to fly.
Same with Pompeo. He's already walking out of interviews over the subject.
"how she'll do in a Colorado Republican primary……" Not well. The Colorado GOP is now dominated by the MAGA election deniers, the far right wing religious Inquisitors, and 2nd amendment over everything else crowd.
I remain as a registered Republican as the status has certain values. However, most of the Colorado GOP is a throwback to the Know Nothings of the 1850s.
I am quite certain, CHB, I am not the only reader who would love to hear you identify, and elaborate upon, those "certain values".
Bless her heart

Matthew Kacsmaryk is arguably the worst judge in the United States. Ian Milhiser at Vox.com
And, most importantly to the DOJ, he doesn't preside over the District in Texas containing the State Capital, Austin. Which means he has no jurisdiction to hear this case and others filed in his court.
… Which means he SHOULDN'T have jurisdiction…
That's the problem.
Ah, the good old days, when judges ruled within their jurisdiction, with judgements limited to the people in their jurisdiction, using established precedent as their basis for ruling and leaving overturning such precedent as a job for higher courts.
Most of these state v. Fed things should by my understanding be tried in the Federal District in the first place.
