Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:
you brought this on yourselves
you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster
you earned this
PHEW
The YES has won in Virginia; voters approved the constitutional amendment to adopt Dems' congressional gerrymander.
This is likely to deliver a 10-1 (Dem) congressional delegation in November, compared to 6-5 (Dem) now.
The remaining obstacle: State supreme court will be weighing in still.
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
I know why Fairfax County is slow to fully report but I still suffer every single election.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.
In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.
Child: I know your name. Mamdani.
Obama: What’s his first name?
Child: Mayor.
I wrote about Melania's litigiousness last year, a few times.
After I wrote. it, Michael Wolff filed a preemptive anti-SLAPP.

@michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social, today is a great day to release those Epstein audio files you have.
At least release the clip where he discussed knowing Melania Trump and how she had sex with Trump on his Lolita Express jet.
Dear GI How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania
Melania: “I never had a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.”
Everybody should watch this insane presser. It's like a bad scene in a Netflix thriller right before shit is about to go down.
She should've had Barbara Streisand herself make this announcement
I mean who among us hasn’t randomly called a press conference to deny knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes
Melania choosing now to speak publicly about Jeffrey Epstein is interesting…
there's getting out ahead of a story and then getting out so far ahead of it that you're breaking it yourself.
Dear G!
How are you?
Nice story about J. E. in New York mag, you look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time!
Love, Melania
Epstein survivor texts me to say “what a bizarre thing” for the First Lady to do
He’s been my Best Actor for a long time. His performance in “Sinners” was stunning. Hope the #Oscars gets this right.

James Talarico speaks for the first time since clinching the Democratic nomination for his Senate race in Texas. “One thing is clear today: we’re about to take back Texas,” says Talarico.
trump blasts democrats for voting against his "big beautiful bill" which kicked 10 million people of their health insurance, took food away from literal children, and supercharged ice and cbp - all while giving enormous tax cuts to the rich.
below is a graph showing winners/losers from the bill.
“Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” Trump told Reiter, according to a 2019 FBI interview with Reiter contained in the Justice Department’s Epstein case files. The interview, conducted in October 2019 and not previously reported, has shed new light on Trump’s involvement in the early stages of the 2006 Jeffrey Epstein investigation in Palm Beach, Florida. It also raises questions about how much Trump knew about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes. Reiter told FBI agents that Trump revealed that Epstein’s associate, Maxwell, was Epstein’s “operative,” and that Trump said “she is evil and to focus on her,” according to the report. Trump told Reiter that “he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present and Trump ‘got the hell out of there,’” the report said. Trump also told Reiter that he threw Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club.
Trump was, of course, lying about some of this in 2006 -- no doubt trying to get ahead of things. But it's interesting that he said Ghislaine was evil.

Did he give the Grammy to Liam??
This is the most beautiful, elaborate, culturally significant set I’ve ever seen at the Super Bowl.
Whoever designed this should be paid a million dollars. #SuperBowl #BadBunny
Bad Bunny is a goddamn star that's all I learned from that

Cause that's what heroes do.
I’m in Milan for the Olympics. It’s work. The athletes are now walking into the stadium. I just want to be a citizen again of a country where I’m not anxious about the crowd’s reaction to when our flag appears. People tend to behave and leave politics behind here but would be nice not to wonder.
This is a screenshot of an email. It says "The Washington Post. We're sorry to see you go. Hi Annalee, Your Washington Post Core Subscription has been canceled and ..."
No, really, @washingtonpost.com, I am the one who is sorry to see you go. Farewell to what was once my go-to, trusted news source. I'm sorry that you had to die in darkness.
