The deadline to apply for a run for a Congressional seat was March 6. Swalwell didn't apply. And, community notes to the rescue. https://x.com/ChristinaPushaw/status/2043468320955928650?s=20

This is simply a matter of longevity. Leo will be there long after Trump has faded. The man's doing his job to denounce the worst of human behavior. I think the older you get the more you understand the countervailing pressures that keep us from extinction.

Seriously though my guess is they had to cross some numeric threshold to even be considered.

First, Putin's Russia benefits from higher oil prices and relaxed sanctions on Russian oil, now China's renewable energy business gets a boost. The commies are winning. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/business/energy-environment/china-energy-battery-grid.html?unlocked_article_code=1.alA.rW-a.Z3d9kgOfzttP Now the war with Iran has laid bare the risks of reliance on Middle Eastern oil and gas. Countries are realizing that all paths to renewable power run through China and its exporters. Even if a cease-fire between the United States and Iran helps ease disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, the shock has already grabbed the attention of governments worldwide. Faced with energy shortages, they are accelerating efforts to upgrade their power grids, bringing them to the doorstep of Chinese companies eager to supply them.

@jon-nyc said: Nice. I could probably get Swedish citizenship if I tried. Doesn't count if you just want the blonds.

@jon-nyc said: Depends on who you mean by 'they'. He's underwater with non-college educated whites which was his core demographic. He's lost some of his major influencers (by follower count), Candace, Alex, and Tucker and no doubt others. He still has very high approval from self-identified Maga republicans, though I imagine the number of people who self-identify that way has dropped quite a bit. I meant the Republican establishment. The swamp he came to remove, but not quite in the way it will seemingly happen.
