A further comment on that MI-10 poll. That is exactly the sort of district that should be an auto-flip if there was a blue wave coming. But it had the same result as VA-2 several weeks back, where both districts were polled by a Dem polling firm for a Dem PAC and could only show a tie.

Well, the jury in the Clancy case has been sent back in to continue deliberations after telling the judge that they cannot reach a unanimous decision. If they come back out again and repeat the same to the judge it looks like a hung jury.
And just released-the jury sent the court another question. Don’t know what it is right now.

Bitter, I’m not particularly fond of statins because of side effects dealing with muscle atrophy. I also think they are way over-prescribed. However, they do lower high cholesterol levels. My husband is on a very low dose, one that I monitor thru blood tests. When his cholesterol reached 160 I asked that his prescription dosage be lowered, which it was. Basically, most medical references say that anything under 200 is fine.

Democrats shocked after 2 members cross aisle to help Republicans
Speaker Mike Johnson nearly lost control of the House floor — again — because of a group of disgruntled conservatives.
Then a pair of Democrats stepped in to help.
Two centrist Democrats, Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, took the unusual step Tuesday of rescuing GOP leaders’ own agenda in the face of a conservative rebellion.
Those Democrats backed a key GOP procedural vote that needed to succeed for Republicans to later bring several bills to the floor.
The reason? It helped pave the way for a priority bill for Golden supporting lobstermen, according to two people familiar with the discussion. The bill already has White House support, and Golden and others hope it can become law this year.
But their vote also allowed Johnson to proceed with messaging votes that Democrats oppose, including a resolution to condemn socialism that Republicans hope to use against Democrats on the campaign trail.
The defection of those two Democrats quickly enraged members of their own party — including some party leaders, who were shocked by the two members’ votes, several people told CNN.
Asked whether he’s disappointed in those members, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters: “The two Democrats who voted for the rule did not give any member of House Democratic leadership a heads-up, and as a result, blindsided the entire caucus and created a significant breach of trust.
Jeffries said it’s “under discussion” whether the two lawmakers will face repercussions.”
