Blue!

Last night our daughter texted “Is this real life!!!!” Yes, it is.

Here in downstate Illinois, it’s not all blue. In our IL-15, Mary Miller easily won reelection to the House of Representatives. She will now be a member of a diminished minority (the House Freedom Caucus) within a diminished minority (House Republicans). But she’ll continue to be as effective in representing her constituents’ interests as always — which is to say not at all. I expect more of the same from her: fulminations about the “Green New Scam” and invaders inside the gates (yes, really) and boys in girls’ sports and bathrooms. Keep fighting your way to utter irrelevance, Mary.
