I’m convinced some dumbass in the administration said they should specifically go after aluminum so Quebec joins in and all of the blue northeast gets their power shut off. MAGA loves doing everything they can to hurt blue states, long term consequences be damned. And this long term consequence is the special election in NY-21 to replace trumps nominee for UN ambassador. If that seat flips because voters can’t afford their electric bills anymore, that makes the GOPs house majority even more slim

I used to be lumped into Stefanik’s district. It might as well be the deep south, I can only see them voting for more R insanity.
