The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!
AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he's not fit to be president.
OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying
If Trump needed a Life Saving kidney transplant and you were the only match, what show would you binge watch on Netflix?
News Flash:
Our president is a fucking idiot.
It's impolite to call these people "Nazis" but that is Nazi talk and the President and his party stand behind this guy, they love him, they agree.
For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.
Redistricting is an inherently political issue. Even if Texasโs move triggers an arms race, the trend will not put American democracy on life support. One silver lining of the gerrymander wars is that they might remind Americans how much Congress should matter. The legislative branch has been increasingly passive as a policymaking body, serving primarily as a sword to investigate presidents or a shield to protect them. Time is better spent worrying about congressional fecklessness.
WaPo looking at Texas Republicans: don't worry your pretty little heads
WaPo looking at Virginia Democrats: I HAVE SEEN HELL
It is a bad rule. There should be no rule at all regarding the composition of the roster by position. Carry 17 pitchers and 8 hitters if you want to.
The only meaningful reform can only be achieved after it is expanded.

Amazing
The Atlantic had to anticipate this might happen and still published. I imagine they are very comfortable with their case and will fight. Otherwise, why publish?
He will lose
Be a shame to leave the Slovenian sex worker out of a Sunday
If you believe in things such as rules of war, a blockade is clearly a violation of a ceasefire.
I find it adorable that the authors believe this, "absence of the kind of rigorous debate that the justices devote to their normal cases." As if their minds aren't usually made up in advance of the case being heard. They confuse a plodding pace of writing opinions with rigorous thought.
Niche is a nice way to put it
Today: Iran reimposes Strait of Hormuz, citing U.S. blockade Yesterday: Trump says Iranians have โagreed to everything,โ including removal of enriched uranium.
Hereโs CBS Newsโ homepage. The top story says Iran reimposed restrictions in the strait. Two stories down is CBSโ story from yesterday in which Trump claims Iran โagreed to everything.โ
CBS wrote that headline yesterday despite a 6th paragraph in which Iran denied Trumpโs claim.
Donโt believe Trump.
Trump has just made Iran more powerful than theyโve been in centuries.
Remains to be seen if it is good news
Iโm sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!
Did he just find out that Trump wasnโt going to endorse him?
Did they run out of soylent green?
This seems like it was preventable. I don't have all the facts, but it looks like a judge could have prevented this, and the system let us/her down.
Dear Media:
Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.
We donโt need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.
