Every single Senator and Representative Republican is vulnerable to a primary.
The only reason establishment Republicans still hold power is because MAGA voters don’t show up for primaries.If even a fraction more voted in primaries, they would replace any compromised Republican. Here's the math:

Jean-Marie Le Pen grave vandalised in France: party
Marjorie Boyet
Fri 31 January 2025 at 9:40 am GMT-
The grave in western France of the co-founder of the country's main postwar far-right movement Jean Marie Le Pen has been vandalised, his former party said on Friday, denouncing an "unspeakable" act.
Le Pen, who stunned France by reaching the run-off of presidential elections in 2002, died on January 7 aged 96 after a career marked by openly racist and anti-Semitic views.
But his death also prompted an outpouring of respectful tributes not just from the movement that he led and which has undergone major change under his daughter Marine Le Pen but also the traditional right.
An image posted by Marie Caroline Le Pen, another of his daughters, showed that the stone cross adorning the grave in La Trinite-sur-Mer in Brittany had been smashed into pieces.
It is a family tomb, with his parents buried in the same plot.
"The desecration of Jean-Marie Le Pen's grave is an unspeakable act, committed by those who respect neither the living nor the dead," National Rally (RN) party leader Jordan Bardella said on X.
"I hope that they will be found and severely punished by the judiciary," he added.
'Respect for the dead' -
Street parties had erupted in some French cities including Paris after Le Pen's death was announced, prompting right-wing Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau to warn against "dancing on a corpse".
"The degradation of the Le Pen family tomb in La Trinite is an absolute abomination,"Retailleau wrote on X after the grave vandalisation.
"Respect for the dead is what distinguishes civilisation from barbarism,"he added.
Marine Le Pen took over from her father as head of the National Front (FN) in 2011 but rapidly took steps towards making the party an electable force, renaming it the RN and embarking on a policy known as dediabolisation (de-demonisation).
She slung her father out of the party for his anti-Semitic views in 2015. But the pair had reconciled in recent years.
After burying her father alongside her sisters Marie-Caroline and Yann at the cemetery in La Trinite-sur-Mer,Marine Le Pen said she would "never forgive" herself for expelling her father from the party.
"This decision was one of the most difficult of my life. And until the end of my life, I will always ask myself the question: 'could I have done this differently?'", she said

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, former Black Hawk pilot, on flying in area where crash occurred. 1/2
Updated on: January 30, 2025 /
Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for patience as the NTSB and FAA investigate the cause of the tragic collision of a Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines flight Wednesday night, but she is also pursuing information about how it occurred.
She told CBS News' Nikole Killion in an interview Thursday that she's requested a transcript of the air traffic control instructions and responses from the pilots.
"What I did learn was that air traffic control did contact and speak with the helicopter crew twice, and they acknowledged the instructions twice," Duckworth said. "I also am asking for the flight path of both aircraft up until the moment of the impact."
The Illinois Democrat will have more insight than many of her colleagues — she is an Iraq War veteran and was a Black Hawk pilot before an RPG downed her helicopterduring an Iraq deployment in 2004, costing Duckworth both of her legs and partial use of her right arm.
Duckworth says she's certain that the soldiers who were piloting the Black Hawk Wednesday night were well trained because otherwise, "they wouldn't be out there in this special airspace — the airspace around Washington, D.C." She noted that they were in theSFRA — the Washington, D.C., metropolitan Special Flight Restricted Area. It's a circular 30-nautical-mile area around Washington, D.C., which also surrounds the Flight-Restricted Zone, a smaller area encompassing Reagan National Airport."
"You don't get to fly in that without additional flight training," Duckworth said.
The Illinois Democrat described what the crew would have been doing in the cockpit as the Black Hawk flew Wednesday night.
"The crew members would have split up the crew duties. One person would have been flying — actually, physically flying the aircraft, which takes, you know, all of your four limbs to do it," she told Killion. "You're controlling the direction of the aircraft with your right hand, the power that's going into the engines with your left hand, you're controlling the nose and the tail of the aircraft, with your two feet."This pilot would have been trying to "stick to the route," while the other pilot would be talking with air traffic control.
"Everybody's looking outside the aircraft to try to find that other aircraft that you are near," Duckworth said. "The crew chief in the back is also doing the same thing. They're looking out of the aircraft as well, spotting any traffic that's nearby, conveying that information. So, the crew would be talking to each other while also listening to the air traffic controller."
At the same time, the crew would also be "listening to the air traffic controller talking to other aircraft, so that you have situational awareness of everything else that's going on,"she said.
The helicopter would have had a ceiling, what Duckworth referred to as a "hard deck" in the restricted area where the Black Hawk was flying.
"They're not allowed to go above 200 feet mean sea level," she said. "So, they were flying pretty low above the Potomac River at the time, while looking up trying to spot out of this very busy night sky the landing airplane."
Killion asked whether this was the kind of flight that would require night-vision goggles, or NVGs…

"My understanding is that they were not using NVGs," Duckworth replied.She said that in an area where there are a lot of lights, they're "not as useful a tool," and are really more suited to "a combat situation in the dark." Around the airport, "with that much ambient light, they were on visual flight rules, and they were operating well within the parameters for which they have been trained, and the aircraft was designed to operate in," Duckworth said.
She said the helicopter would have had its lights on, so the plane would have been able to see it. But airplanes that are coming in for a landing have the right of way.
"They would have been looking towards the runway and landing on the runway," she said. "That's the job of the crew within the American Airlines Flight … they were on a short final to land."
"I'm sure they would have been looking out, but they don't have the same visibility in that aircraft — looking out those two little windows that they have — as the helicopter would have had, with plexiglass." She explained that the helicopter crew "would have been basically sitting in a plexiglass bubble in the Black Hawk with plexiglass above your head, underneath your feet and out the two sides."
"So the helicopter — they would have had a better visual command than the American Airlines Flight, which was landing, looking to the runway," Duckworth said.
Asked about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's description of the collision as an "elevation" issue, and President Trump's suggestion that the helicopter could have gone up or down to get out of the way of the plane, Duckworth responded, "We have to let NTSB and FAA do their jobs …Neither the president nor Mr. Hegseth are pilots, as far as I know, and I think that amateur speculation is not what is needed at this point."
