It’s never going to stop. There is never a single victory, only “eternal vigilance”.
As in: “the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.”
We don’t get to win one election and then go back to sleep.
How Republicans win:

«According to an expert who testified in the RNC case, “approximately one-third of a [percent] of non-Hispanic White voters [in Arizona] are Federal-Only Voters, while a little more than two-thirds of a percent of minority voters are Federal-Only Voters.”
This racial disparity likely explains why the Republican Party is now asking the Supreme Court to further restrict this small percentage of Arizona voters. 2020 exit polls showed Republican Donald Trump winning white voters in Arizona, but losing the state as a whole due to President Joe Biden’s strong performance with Latinos. Biden’s margin of victory in Arizona in 2020 was about three-tenths of a percent, and even a tiny shift in the state’s population of eligible voters could tip the balance.»
Honestly, it feels like we’re living in the end times.
Wow, that was fast.
«The secretary of state’s office estimates that 577,971 valid signatures were turned in by Arizona for Abortion Access, a coalition of reproductive rights organizations that includes the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona. The signature haul far surpassed the 383,923 signatures required to make it onto the ballot. The Arizona for Abortion Access Act will go before voters under the title “Proposition 139.”»
«…and frankly if you make it harder to hire illegal labor, which undercuts the wages of American workers, I think you go a lot of the way to solving the illegal immigration problem.”»
Maybe Sen. Vance is simply too young to remember AL HB-56. Or maybe he thinks his electorate doesn’t remember (and maybe he’s right).

Surprised Vance’s tweet is still up. I expect it to disappear momentarily.

«Walz resigned two months before the unit received orders, and Walz likely submitted his retirement papers even earlier.
…
During Walz’s 2018 gubernatorial campaign, retired Command Sgts. Maj. Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr wrote a “paid endorsement letter” just days before the election accusing Walz of “abandon[ing]” his unit in order to run for Congress. Specifically, they claimed that he retired in mid-2005 to dodge a unit deployment to Iraq the following year. This smear was repeated by Walz’s gubernatorial opponent in October 2022.
GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance, who wrote that he “was lucky to escape any real fighting” during his four-year stint in the Marine Corps, joined in on this smear today during a campaign event in Michigan.…
Additionally, one guardsman who served under Walz recalled an open discussion within the unit around his congressional campaign during a deployment roughly a year prior to his eventual retirement — further shattering the notion that Walz “quit” and left his unit “hanging” in an attempt to dodge a second deployment. The guardsman said Walz “talked with us for quite a while on that subject. He weighed that decision to run for Congress very heavy. He loved the military, he loved the guard, he loved the soldiers he worked with.” The guardsman additionally told Minnesota Public Radio that Walz used his position as a member of Congress to help struggling National Guard members.
Another guardsman who served with Walz has said that Walz “did nothing wrong with when he chose to leave the service” and stated that he was “a great soldier.” That same guardsman said that Behrends’ smears “are ill-informed and possibly sour grapes by a soldier who was passed over for the promotion to command sergeant major that went to Walz.”»
