With the result in Virginia, here's what we know about how mid-decade redistricting has shifted the landscape.
Across the 7 states with new maps:
—11 districts have shifted toward Democrats;
—9 districts have shifted toward the GOP.
Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
Virginia voters approved a complete redrawing of their congressional districts to offset pushes by President Donald Trump to increase the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. bit.ly/3QUjBog

The El Gamal family will be released! Today, a federal judge ordered the end of their imprisonment at the Dilley trailer prison. They had been suffering at Dilley for nearly a year—the mother was rushed to the hospital last week and the five-year old daughter had been denied dental care.
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.
"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."
Four Democrats voted with the GOP on reauthorizing a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens.
If you’re represented by Gluesenkamp Perez, Golden, Gottheimer, or Suozzi, ask them why they’re siding with the Trump regime on government surveillance.

How long has the White House known this and let Patel keep his job?
How long has Todd Blanche known this?
Seems to have been widely known:
Sourcing: "six current and former officials and others familiar"
And Patel thought he'd be fired.

ANOTHER death in ICE detention.
And if you're interested, Dr. Joe Sachs, producer on #ThePitt, told me this (horrifying) Guardian investigation into "wild pregnancies" and "The Free Birth Society" was the inspiration for this storyline: www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
Watch past the Pitt final credits. Very important 😁
This chart is stunning.
IMPORTANT: Under federal law, it's very hard, at times near-impossible, to sue federal law enforcement officers for civil rights violations. But legal theorists have said for decades that there is a possible way to sue under state law instead.
This is a VERY big test case.
Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").
She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since.
But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.
Research links heavy social media use not only to declines in mental health but to measurable cognitive effects — on attention, memory and focus — that in some studies resemble accelerated aging.
The solution is surprisingly simple: Take a break. https://wapo.st/47QIXt2
Exactly one year ago today:
“They absolutely impounded. He just lied to America,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, told TPM in response to Vought’s remarks.

This is happening to tens of thousands of people. It is a disgrace. It is a parody of due process; after more than a decade, the government suddenly orders you to return to a court hearing in just days, thousands of miles from where you live. And it's tearing lives apart.
A VERY rare prosecution of an ICE officer. However, the officer is NOT being prosecuted for anything directly related to immigration enforcement.
Instead, it's for road rage; while driving a rental, he pulled a gun on people who blocked him from passing in the shoulder.
THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.
“The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often a lifetime is not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of $$ are spent on killing+devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education+restoration are nowhere to be found”
