Virginia voters give Dems big win in the gerrymandering wars The new map could wipe out Republicans' gains so far in the race President Donald Trump kicked off last summer in Texas.

Virginia’s new map will give Democrats the chance to flip four seats currently held by Republicans. That could put Dems slightly ahead in the national mid-decade gerrymandering wars—a result few thought possible when Trump picked the fight by pushing Texas Republicans to redraw their map last year.

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

Trump's war hurt the US but helped China as NY Times reports: "China appears poised to profit from high energy prices and depressed oil inventories caused by the war, as countries turn to it, warily, for the renewable energy technology they need to replace fossil fuels." (Plus Trump helped Russia)

Four Republican districts would become much bluer, going from:

2nd: Trump+0 to Harris+5
1st: Trump+5 to Harris+8.5
5th: Trump+12 to Harris+8.5
6th: Trump+24 to Harris+3

Democrats already could flip the two bluest seats on the current map, but their chances would greatly increase on the new map

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Why is no one hair on fire that half a million children have died in the year since USAID was gutted?
Why don’t these kids deserve the same outrage as others dying in war or genocide?
Is it because these children’s deaths aren’t politically advantageous to those running in primaries for Congress?

NOTE: If Kash Patel indeed brings manufactured criminal cases over the 2020 election this week—something he knows a lot about, as he sought fake evidence from Kremlin agents to steal the 2020 election for Trump—it’s *not about 2020*.

It’s about rigging elections *going forward*.

They didn't just pardon them.
They're erasing the convictions entirely.
Not...you're guilty but forgiven.
But...the guilty verdicts never should have happened.
There's a difference.
And it matters enormously for what comes next.

Trump avoided punishments for his post-2020 abuses, but many of his lawyers did not For the attorneys who helped fuel the president’s efforts to remain in office, the consequences have been severe. Take John Eastman, for example.

And they remain mystified as to why it's so hard for them to find real lawyers who will work for him...

Eastman: disbarred

Giuliani: disbarred

Chesebro: disbarred

Clark: facing possible disbarment

Ellis: law license suspended

Trump post on Truth Social: Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn't nice, was it? My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it. They're helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be "the tough guy!" We're offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and ! hope they take it because, if they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They'll come down fast, they'll come down easy and, if they don't take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT'S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END! President DONALD J.

Migrants deported from the United States by Trump "routinely disappear into El Salvador's prisons the moment they land or in the weeks that follow. Many are held incommunicado, cut off from family and lawyers for months, even years."

K: He's saying every bridge in the country. That's not a war crime?

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing banks to collect citizenship data Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the Trump administration expects banks to comply in collecting citizenship information from customers.

Undocumented immigrants contribute $97 billion yearly in federal, state, and local taxes. They paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022.

Bessent is galactically stupid.
