From Wikipedia:

Ridolfo Luigi Boccherini^[; 19 February 1743 – 28 May 1805) was an Italian composer and cellist of the Classical era whose music retained a courtly and galante style even while he matured somewhat apart from the major classical musical centers.

He is best known for the minuet from his String Quintet in E, Op. 11, No. 5 (G 275), and the Cello Concerto in B♭ major (G 482).

Trump lost the Senate—and made the loss his own.

GOP Leader John Thune worked to protect the majority, backing candidates he thought could win. Trump overruled him at every turn, most notably in Texas, backing Ken Paxton over incumbent John Cornyn.

Then Trump made other races a loyalty test. And Graham lost South Carolina, Whatley lost North Carolina; Collins lost Georgia; Sununu lost New Hampshire.

The economy and Iran mattered, too. But Trump chose the fights, demanded the loyalty, and left Thune to defend the wreckage. Now he gets the blame.
