So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
Rep. @repyassansari.bsky.social: “Naked, open, brazen corruption. The Trump administration is guided and shaped by it… Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is shaping US foreign policy while simultaneously soliciting billions from the same foreign governments he's negotiating with.“

Pope Leo XIV: In a world wounded by arrogance, people hunger and thirst for justice. We must encourage those who believe in peace and dare to engage in “countercurrent” politics, which focus on the common good.
Can the president send ICE agents to police the polls? No — it's illegal, and ICE has no role in elections. Here’s what you need to know.

Today, VA Dems are showing the party how to fight back.
VA voter: Trump has explicitly stated to state legislators, 'find me more seats.' As Democrats, we can't come to a boxing match where the other person brings a knife.
