Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.
"No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions." I am heathen-praying for this to happen here
Even if he calls it off, he still needs to be impeached for threatening to do it.
“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.
We don’t even have a declaration of war and the President of the United States threatening ”a whole civilization” with death. I would say that this constitutes an emergency that Congress and Cabinet must deal with asap before he can follow through on this insane threat.
How can this be real? The madness…
Picture of a tweet that says we haven't seen a Duke go out like that since Franz Ferdinand
Trying not to gloat about Duke, but this had me rolling
Kill Bill for a lot more minutes
I have no love for Duke. None. But that was brutal
i like to call this "electoral college brain," when politicians (or hell just regular people) confuse the fact that the electoral system privileges closely competitive interior states with some deeper, fundamental meaning
Washington post article “MAGA’s eruption keeps Trump from endorsing in key Senate race”, with John Cronyn pictured
“But as videos have surfaced of controversial, liberal comments by Talarico, the White House has grown increasingly confident that either Republican would win.” Thanks for this lol, WaPo. You assholes
Rahm/Cuomo
Such a good question
I hate Chuck Schumer, but supporting Platner is inexcusable
Come on, High Point!!!
Same
It’s broken my heart. I know Warren isn’t perfect, but I’ve long admired her and this is a dealbreaker IMO
Just catching up on Afroman, and this is textbook incompetent cross-examination with gratifying results. And, yes, Ik Afroman is highly problematic but he has the right to make fun of cops
This is just straight-up incompetence on cross-exam. It’s like the plaintiff’s lawyer is trying to help Afroman. And I love it
I’d vote for him as most like David Duke
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
Cory Doctorow vibes. Yes
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
Gross
38% of airline passengers vote to open plane door midflight because that bitch stewardess said not to
