So now Florida will kick off its process to change its map and get rid of Moskowitz and others?

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

There's no drama wrt to the result, Yes essentially had it won as soon as the first NoVa drops came in

Only question is exactly what the margin looks like

With 2,013 of 2,534 precincts reporting, it’s now YES with a lead of 50.2%-49.8% – and tons more deep-blue Fairfax to come (plus a bunch more of deep-blue Henrico and Richmond). So obviously, this is looking great for YES! 🙂 bluevirginia.us/2026/04/live...

VoteHub projects the Virginia Redistricting Constitutional Amendment to pass.

Virginia Redistricting Referendum

66% Reported:
🔴 NO – 1,047,746 (50.6%)
🔵 YES – 1,023,695 (49.4%)

However, YES is hitting it's threshold in key counties and is heavily favored.

Why didn’t VA Dems come out stronger for this?

@chaznuttycombe.bsky.social do you really think Yes will lose?

A question for American historians: were the Robber Barons of the 19th century as corrupt as the technofascist billionaires of the 21st century?

This is a remarkable and important step.

Ukraine, a country under full scale invasion for 4+ years, is signing deals to co-develop/produce weapons with other countries.

Saudi, UAE and Qatar are not only confident of but also banking on Ukraine being a functional nation state over the next decade.

Ukraine successfully struck Russia's Novokuibyshev and Syzran oil refineries in the same night. Russia's oil industry continues to get pounded.

i was just saying to a friend a few days ago that trump's public opinion collapse opens up the field of possibilities in ways that are truly unpredictable. it is one thing for a president to be this popular at the *end* of their turn, but not even two years in?

I mean, of course that’s what happening. It’s been clear the whole time

Maybe all the "Cease fire... Cease fire broken... Cease fire... Cease fire broken" is just Trump trying to up his "Cease fires negotiated" numbers for the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

In the last year, Trump has gone from -2 on “border security and immigration” (49% approve to 51% disapprove) to -12 (44% vs. 56%).

That’s actually up somewhat from the height of Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis, when approval fell to -20. Mass raids were REALLY unpopular.

What if a failure in Iran helped bring the Reagan Revolution into power, and another failure smashes it into a disjunctive state?
