This would be a crazy and toxic thing for the GOP to do, and if they did it, it would only radicalize and incentivize cautious centrist Senate Dems to expand the court in 2029 under a Dem president.
Alito won't retire in the lame duck and he doesn't need to. Trump can nominate someone to the Supreme Court and the senate can confirm without a vacancy. Then Trump can wait to sign the commission any time in the next two years. The question isn't Alito, its Cornyn/Tillis/Thune.

Looking pretty likely this is going to happen for him unless there's some unknown source of Hyde-Smith votes. Mississippi doesn't have automatic recounts either, although they usually wouldn't flip a 1,138-vote margin anyway.
Per the Mississippi Free Press, Democrat Scott Colom leads incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by 1,138 votes, up from 65, with 96% counted. Votes remain in Democratic-leaning Hinds County and thousands of affidavit ballots. >95% Reported ๐Ÿ”ต Scott Colom โ€“ 464,926 (49.0%) ๐Ÿ”ด Cindy Hyde-Smith โ€“ 463,788 (48.9%) Results per AP

California elected the Chesa Boudin of home insurance amid a wildfire crisis. The system was starting to stabilize in the last two years of Laraโ€™s term, but now it might blow up again.
A race that only the insurance freaks were looking out for but will be absolutely pivotal in the years ahead: in the Dem vs Dem race for California Insurance Commissioner, itโ€™s very close but Jane Kim holds the lead.

Polish border guards deployed GROM special forces after spotting Russian operatives with flashlights along Kaliningrad's border. PM Tusk confirmed that they prevented border provocations, while blogger Anatoly Radov mocked his own troops as 'Jedi with laser swords.' 8/

House @HomelandDems demand DHS preserve and turn over documents.
There is a panic at DHS HQ right now; shredders are likely being run around the clock; emails deleted; video records scrubbed; and hasty contracts signed. They've got a lot of money to get to their friends, and a lot of misconduct to hide. Draft the subpoenas now.

I just learned yesterday that the fund created by the small business healthcare mandate (that you have seen in restaurant bills for almost 20 years): - has almost no claims - except when used for fraud - has accumulated $1B since 2008 - has earned zero interest Half of San Francisco thinks the government that created this should run a bank.

Yeah sex is great but have you ever heard someone tell Steve Bannon that exit polls show that young men are evenly split between Dems and Republicans and he goes silent and then says, in a very soft voice: "that can't be right"

Democrats are on track to win 55-56 Senate seats. They could've gotten to a filibuster-proof 60 if they hadn't blown the easily winnable Montana Senate race, run a more electable candidate in Florida, and campaigned marginally harder in Nebraska and Louisiana.
Everyone is talking about Democrats winning Kansas, but they also came extremely close to winning Louisiana, Florida, and Nebraska (the latter through an independent). They would have won Montana were it not for the Bankhead-Bondar vote-splitting fiasco.
