And Elise Stefanik, who hounded university presidents for allowing protest on their campuses, at the UN. I can see her moving to make all 146 UN Members who recognize Palestine reverse their recognition. Though of course there will shortly BE no Palestine to recognize: all Kushner beachfront property and settlers. And settlers on the West Bank about to do their own little holocaust on those parts that still are Palestinian.

I checked Wikipedia on Elise to see what her foreign policy position is. No entry. Under "defense" She is claimed (by the Washington Times) to have "extensive foreign policy experience through "working in the George W. Bush administration, prepping Rep. Paul Ryan for his vice presidential debates, and listening to commanders at Fort Drum in her home district" The work for the Bush Administration would have been her first two years out of college. DEEP foreign policy experience.

Her CD (NY-21) is only R + 4. If she gets confirmed there will be a special election to replace her with an open seat. If control of the House is very close, a shift to D would have huge implications. At this time House control is still in doubt as west coast races get counted; there's a long but not-zero chance D's may get control out of the gate, and there's no way Hakeem Jeffries is going to go along with Trump's plans, as detailed here. A one seat flip could do it, depending on how the counts go. Fingers crossed.

my fingers too. Special election just in time to have seen the results for ordinary people of this election. Nice.
