The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind
Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned theyβd respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.
GOP - *gerrymanders*
DEMS - hey stop that no fair
GOP - *gerrymanders even more*
DEMS - we mean it weβre gonna sue
SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*
DEMS - *start gerrymandering*
GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! π
CONGRATULATIONS VIRGINIA!
CONGRATS DEMOCRATS!π
CONGRATS AMERICA!πΊπΈ
Suck it, MAGA. π
If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democratsβ chances of taking the House.

Thatβs not a warning, thatβs a confession.
I donβt think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, donβt pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

I miss the days where I woke up and the President of the United States wasnβt threatening to bomb another countryβs power plants and bridges.
So-called Conservatives have never been able to run a straight game. They are always trying to find different ways of cheating from Gerrymandering, eliminating mail-in voting, outlawing drop boxes, outlawing on-campus voting, etc. Their high-tech propaganda machine is always on line!

The plaintiffs are listed as "STATE OF OREGON, et al.," and the defendants are "ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, et al." The document is from United States District Judge Kasubhai. It outlines that final judgment is entered in favor of the Plaintiffs on Counts I, II, III, and IV.

Page 2 of a legal judgment document for Case 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on April 18, 2026. The text outlines a court order declaring that defendants lack the authority to unilaterally establish standards of care that supersede professionally recognized standards for gender-affirming care in the Plaintiff States. It permanently enjoins defendants and their agents, including the HHS-OIG, from enforcing the "Kennedy Declaration" against providers in those states. The document is dated April 18, 2026, and is signed by United States District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai.
Huge news: the court has entered final judgement in Oregon v Kennedy (HHS trans youth care ban) and has vacated the Kennedy declaration and permanently enjoined its enforcement to target gender clinics.

The Air Canada suspension is the second-order
signal the oil-focused coverage is missing.
First-order: tankers, strikes, Brent.
Second-order: aviation fuel, insurance, supply
chain re-routing.
An 18-hour "opening" doesn't restore confidence.
It compounds hesitation across every dependent
market.
I hope I can get there next month. I have tickets on Air Canada to go to Moncton.
NEW YORK (AP) β Air Canada will suspend service to New Yorkβs JFK International airport over the summer as the war in Iran creates jet fuel shortages that have sent prices soaring.

Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for the Wall Street Journal:
A month ago.
If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.
