Iowa’s Senate has a 2/3 Republican supermajority—which it just lost. In the state’s first special election this year, in Cedar Rapids, the Democrat won by 4% a seat the GOP had won in 2022 by 22%. In the special election yesterday in Sioux City, the Dem won by 10%; the GOP had won it by 10% in 2022.

Seems like Republican congressmen are going to have to choose: Trump and a successful dictatorship, or standing up to Trump and get reelected. Or most likely, retire from congress.
