  BIG CUP: THE WEEK’S TOP STORIES

The good news first: the Senate confirmed Judge Beth Robinson, the first openly LGBTQ woman to a lifetime seat on the U.S. Appeals Court. That’s all, folks.

Democrats could be heard gnashing their teeth at the defeat of Terry McAuliffe in Virginia – a “stunning upset” that was neither stunning nor particularly upsetting. A bloodletting followed as progressives and moderates knifed each other, while Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema continued shooting a movie destined to bomb with themselves as the stars.

Another week, another theocratic lurch in Texas, as a federal judge cleared the way for for-profit businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ people. Sign us Unsurprised. Bonus: Kinzinger/Cheney 2024? Could be intriguing.
