And even *after* CA and VA, the balance is still heavily skewed toward Republicans.

The GOP has still drawn 41% of districts vs. 29% for Dems.

Here's the definitive answer to the debate over "who started it": Republicans.

Before Trump pushed TX to gerrymander last year, the GOP had drawn 42% of all districts, versus just 14% for Dems (the rest were by neutral parties).

The maps below from @stephenwolf.bsky.social make this explicit.

House Democrats demand Kash Patel complete the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test as part of their investigation into his drinking:

"These glimpses of your relationship to alcohol would be alarming to see in an FBI agent; for us to see them in the FBI Director himself is shocking."

New poll: 55% support impeaching Trump Support for impeachment rivals levels during Donald Trump's first presidency, when he was impeached twice, and for impeaching Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal

Support for impeaching Trump is at 55%, according to a new Strength In Numbers/ @Verasight.io poll, with 37% of adults opposed. Crucially 1 in 5 of Trump’s own voters support impeachment.

The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan) Should corporations be able to weaponize your personal data to rip you off?Well, they may already be doing that thanks t

Did JetBlue admit to surveillance pricing?

Even though they denied it, multiple companies have been caught red-handed using the shady practice.

Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8

We're seeing prediction market corruption more and more in the federal government.

Donald Trump thinks it's ok to cheat, but I won't allow it in state government.

Supporting data centers is the political equivalent of rolling around in the flaming bag of shit on your porch.

A new investigation from ProPublica and @frontlinepbs.bsky.social examines federal agents’ response to protesters and bystanders at the Trump administration’s immigration sweeps.

“We see, just, use of excessive force after use of excess force,” one expert said.

NEWSMAX: If this goes on for weeks, the US military is probably going to have to go into Iran and finish the job. Am I reading that right?

MARSHALL: I think that's right. And previous presidents have had the same issues. Think about Truman's decision on dropping the bomb and D-Day for Eisenhower

My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans

Atlanta’s ‘Cop City’ Makes a Black Neighborhood a Testing Lab for AI Policing In America’s most surveilled city, a community loses forest land and gains a network of AI-enabled cameras.

NEW: Atlanta now has more surveillance cameras per person than any city on Earth outside a few in China. The densest grid is over Black neighborhoods.

To grow that AI-fueled network, the city decided to raze a part of its most important infrastructure: the forest.

Trump’s Labor Secretary’s Impressive Legacy of Sleaze Lori Chavez-DeRemer is perhaps the least well known of the administration’s departing Cabinet members. That’s not for want of trying.

The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears.

Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

It’s a new day.

Yup.

republicans will yowl and piss and moan and that to my mind is all the reason to do it
