"You have until November" means "it'll happen by the end of May"

Yeah, Will, you should definitely hand President AOC or President Pritzker that loaded gun

Will Chamberlain on X @willchamberlain The proper response from Donald Trump to these Virginia shenanigans is to announce that the retrocession of Arlington and Alexandria to Virginia was unconstitutional and that they are and always will be part of the federal district Rate proposed Community Notes Not shown on X • Needs ratings Partitioning a state (VA) without the consent of that state’s legislature is prohibited by Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution. constitution.congress.gov/browse/article… Both Virginia’s legislative chambers and governorship are controlled by Democrats, who would not approve such a partition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_… Is this proposed note helpful?

Yeah man you should definitely normalize the idea that something everyone accepted was actually unconstitutional all along with a president whose second term in office violates the Fourteenth Amendment

Vox was wrong of course but Vox is only capable of making wrong business decisions

A lot about the world is very heavy right now but if a college football podcast that got jettisoned by Vox during the pandemic for not having a marketable audience can raise this much money for refugees in Atlanta in two days then just think of all the stuff we can all do together

I legit wonder what a plan to change course, even if it fit into their tiny little brains, could look like

Donald Trump wanted a showdown, so we gave him a showdown.

CIA pulling off another regime change with the underhanded dirty trick of all living and voting there.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

The worst Republican ghouls live in NOVA and they are seething right now.

“Republicans, entered, delusion, gerrymandering, nobody, going, doing, to them”

The whining from the worst Republican you know will be quite delicious

This man is your friend, he fights for freedom

REDISTRICT EVERYTHING

ESCALATE TO DE-ESCALATE

GERRYMANDER EVERY SINGLE STATE IMMEDIATELY

CREATE A DELICATE BALANCE OF TERROR NOW

RESTORE DETTERENCE

Lest we forget who knew what this was all about from the beginning:

I also have to wonder how interpersonally unpleasant Gonzales and maybe Mills (tbd) must be for Republicans to not stand by them. was Gonzales just openly hitting on any woman he saw? is Mills a screaming lunatic?

I wonder if Mills blinks too. Swalwell, Gonzales, and Cherfilus-McCormick all did so in rapid succession

all these reps suddenly realizing that the Santos precedent (that they helped set!) of voting to expel someone on a bipartisan basis if they're enough of an embarrassment could get them kicked out too is...funny, I guess?

When you put it that way, it starts to seem kind of morally obligatory, huh?

Jeffries threatening “maximum warfare” if Florida redistricts

Woody from the "hollup, let him cook" Kingdom Hearts meme, with "cook" replaced by "be clear"

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

"If my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land"

I love that they still couldn't talk him into one that doesn't implicitly say "I am God."

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.

what remains to be seen:

—What Florida Republicans do in a special session next week.
—What Missouri's supreme court does with ballot petitions to block the new Missouri map (accounts for 1 GOP seat).
—What Virginia's supreme court does with the GOP lawsuit against the Virginia referendum.

Important that we had like a month of cable news beard pulling about this fellow

And I wish it would expand to Baltimore. If we're going to be colonized by the DMV we might as well get some of the infrastructure perks a la Roman Britain

I think just in terms of utility per end-consumer dollar, CaBi might be the single best product or service of any type in the entire United States
