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
While Ohioans are hurting, Jon Husted voted 4 times to continue this reckless war in Iran.
Her body language: You’re an unmitigated ass hurting Americans daily.
His body language: what more do you want from me? My name’s Kennedy and I workout in my jeans!
I have opposed gerrymandering every single time it has come up. It’s a perversion of the political process. I voted Yes in this election without hesitation. Unilateral disarmament is unacceptable.
The meta story of the (imminent) Yes win in VA is the total inability of Trump to ever look down the game tree. He was apparently unable to comprehend that Democrats would respond to his push to redistrict in GOP-run states
This same pehenenon is also why we are losing a war to Iran.
Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
I'm sure Alito is fuming about the Virginia vote and itching to strike down the rest of the Voting Rights Act as petty revenge.
But Democrats are likely retaking the House, maybe the Senate, no matter what SCOTUS does now.
Killing the VRA would just be a final insult that speeds court reform.
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
They are never supposed to fight fire with fire politically according to the MSM. Only one side needs to abide by 'norms, rules and decorum.'
Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

BREAKING: Rep Ted Lieu says Trump has made over $9 billion during his presidency

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.
Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."
just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care.
Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.
No republican should ever be elected president for a very long time.
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

I dislike gerrymandering on principle, but principles only work when the other side has them too, & when a major political party has decided the rules mean nothing, well, then maybe we can make them mean nothing in our favor for once, & remind them why the rules exist. Or something #IVoted #Virginia

Turnout steady so far in Virginia’s redistricting referendum.
At the Stonebridge polling site in Chesterfield, 400+ votes had been cast by noon — about in line with last year’s statewide elections.
“It’s been very pleasant so far,” one volunteer tells me.

And the do nothing GOP Congress continues to enable their clearly mentally ill leader to the detriment of not only the US, but the world!
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed
Not only is her recovery complete.
Soon Sienna will be heading off to her very own family.
After years on the streets and endless puppies taken from her she will get the life she always deserved!
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.
