MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT: The Latest in Millennial Virtue Signaling: Being ‘Sober Curious.’ “I’m not suggesting everyone go out and get drunk all the time. Or even stay home and get drunk all the time, as nice as a brandy the size of Winston Churchill’s skull sounds on a wet, chilly day like today. But why does every tiny little decision — like, whether to grab a beer before hitting the dance floor — need to be a lifestyle choice?”

And for our VIP members: Does the 23rd GOP Retirement Spell Doom for Retaking the House? “If you’re starting to get spooked, it might be because in 2018 — before the Democrats took back the House as was widely predicted — 26 Republicans declined to stand for reelection. Typically, widespread retirements are a sign that the other party is about to win bigly. Does that mean the House GOP is just 11 months away from becoming an even smaller minority? I don’t think so.”
