Timelies all!
I'm sorry for your loss, Calli.

It’s a few days late, but I’ve started putting up the tree. Usually this is an all-day thing the Friday after Thanksgiving, accompanied by the Lord of the Rings (extended editions). So I expect this will take several evenings, what with work and all. Javier isn’t quite the paws-on manager Leifur was, but he is sticking his nose in.
ETA: thank you, Sheryl.

Popping in to say that, while the AP hasn't officially called it, the GOP candidate has conceded in CA #13, leaving us with a 220-215 House. So Republicans have lost two seats since the 2022 elections.
For those keeping score at home:
2020: 222-213 D
2022: 222-213 R
2024: 220-215 R

Now tagless for your comfort.
Does that include Gaetz’s and Rubio’s seats? Or are those not being counted until they hold special elections?

That is all seats in the House (435). Gaetz was reelected, and could in theory take his seat, so that is included.
Rubio is a senator. His seat can be filled by appointment.
But his and any other defections to the administration will only be a factor once the new Congress convenes in January.

Our wings are not tired.
In Florida news, it looks like DeSantis might get Defense since Hegseth may go the way of Gaetz. It could be that DeSantis picks Lara Trump to replace Rubio and gets a seat at the table as a reward. DeSantis, Bondi, Rubio, Gaetz, and a bunch of others. Local newspapers say nine of his picks have been loyal Floridians. Best of the best, I tell ya.

Bad news for America, but good news for Florida! Congrats, Laura.

I have little confidence Floridians will pick anything better for replacements. Sorry about along our trash.
