NY14- A progressive, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is challenging Joe Crowley, who is one of the small few who is line to take over party leadership if the dems should take back the house in the fall. She is my political crush right now. Don't know if she has a real chance against a ten term incumbent, but we will see.

NY19- As mentioned above-- 7 people on the D side. Three "money" guys who raised over 1 million and four others. The winner will face John Faso. If the Ds hope to take back the house, this is one of the seats that is a must win.

NY 11- Former Rep. Grimm facing off against the incumbent, Dan Donovan. Grimm was convicted of federal election crimes about 4 years ago, when he was in congress. Grimm may very well win. More criminals for the Rs in congress. Exciting.

some other interesting ones here laid out by Vox:

I'm going to be preemptively sarcastic for Calvin

Anyway, the TAL was pretty interesting and not to BOTH SIDES it but I kind of see both sides. You need money...but you also need message. As someone who has worked in medical device for 10 years all Med Device CEOs are psychopaths and I really hope that dude doesn't win.

Florida v. Georgia (original jurisdiction case) a dispute about water use

Janus v. AFSCME - Union case

NIFLA v. Becerra - involves First Amendment and abortion

Trump v. Hawaii - Travel ban

Pretty hefty case load left

Yeah, just finished listening and Beale (sp) sounds like exactly the candidate that I would vote for, but even as a member of the establishment (ivy league education, diplomatic background, access to politically savvy friends and colleagues) he's still a long shot because he isn't kowtowing to the major donors. Makes me feel kinda ambivalent to our democracy, seems like it's just the ultra rich and corporations who decide what happens to us all.
