Summary
Republicans don't control Virginia, Illinois, or Philadelphia. Democrats do. And this week, a Democratic-controlled state is barreling toward its first government shutdown in history, Illinois just signed a first-in-the-nation crypto tax that has businesses threatening to flee, and a Democrat-dominated Pennsylvania Supreme Court just called its own party's DA a liar. If Democrats want to make the midterms about competence, they may want to look in the mirror first.
