    Rep. Liz Cheney lost to a Trump-backed challenger. Cheney is the vice chair of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. Cheney promoted her disdain of Trump throughout the campaign.

    The second House impeachment vote against Trump was the most bipartisan ever when 10 Republicans defected from their party to impeach him. Four of those 10 Republicans are retiring from Congress, while the other six faced re-election bids [including Cheney]. Just two of those 10 have won their primaries this year.
    ...
    Alaska voters will use ranked-choice voting to select a member of Congress from a field of three.

Should there be a federal water cut mandate if states can't agree on reducing usage?

438 votes, 51 comments

Context: Western states struggle to reach deal to cut water usage as crucial water source dries up.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ Yes - This is about as classic a case of multiple states' having competing rights and interests as it's possible to get, and one of the foundational reasons for having a federal government has always been to resolve this kind of dispute, especially if the parties involved cannot (as is self-evidently true here) do it for themselves.”

“ Unsure - Based on the wording of the question, yes. However, this should...”
