Excellent and speaking of important women and GPS . . .
HEDY LAMARR escaped from her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a Hollywood star, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth and GPS technology.
Hell of a lady.
An on-again, off-again ceasefire at the same time as a blockade, makes perfect sense if you see it for what it is:

I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

Mass shooting:
1 dead and 3 wounded in what is believed to be a targeted shooting in Centralia, Illinois.
Looks like it's done - Virginians just made their voices heard & sent a message to lawmakers who bent the knee to Trump's historically unpopular agenda.
Today is a good day for democracy 💥
Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and Mike Johnson tried to rig midterms… and still took the L.
Virginia voters understood the assignment. They saw it for what it was and obliterated it.
Virginians approved a new congressional map on Tuesday that would aggressively gerrymander the state in the Democrats’ favor. The party now holds six of the state’s 11 seats in the U.S. House, but the new map could allow the party to win 10 of them. nyti.ms/4cqs8ba

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
Sixers with a 46-point turnaround from Game 1, like they were a Democrat winning a special election in Indiana or something
