The second part of our five-part series on redistricting efforts across the Deep South launched today after it was apparent that SCOTUS was not releasing a decision in the Louisiana v. Callais case.
It'll be interesting to see if our luck holds through January.

When oil and tech CEOs are in the loop about his plans to invade a sovereign nation and Congress isn’t, that’s all you need to know about the legitimacy of his actions.

A foreign president can be held liable under US law, but an American president cannot. Weird.

“They’re leakers. They would have leaked.”
The Constitution says nothing about “leaks.” It says the executive needs Congressional approval for an act of war.
I would argue that taking out a nation’s leader, imprisoning them and claiming control of that nation’s resources is a textbook act of war.

Listening to this ramble and thinking that if our Congress thinks this is leadership then we are truly doomed.
Impeach this drooling embarrassment. Do something to show that American ideals still exist.

“We are going to run the country.”
What the hell? This is not how any of this works. We just knocked off the (admittedly horrible) leadership of another country to take over its oil fields?

The reason this parody suckered so many people is because it is very likely that the mango jesus has actually asked why he can't do it.
Here's a link debunking it, because yes, I had to find out if it were true (although the Quinn Jackson byline was suspect).

How gullible are MAGA followers?
They believed their mango god when he said he "obliterated" Iran's nuke program. They decried and retaliated against the intel analysts who said the strikes on June 22 only set the program back six months.

Just in case you were wondering, there is absolutely no question that we are officially a rogue nation now.
We have traded the tools of diplomacy for extortion.
If Congress does not get off its collective ASS and do something, we're pretty much doomed.

Sapelo Islanders fought a move to allow bigger homes on the island that would push up property taxes and displace the Gullah-Geechee descendants who live there.
Now the county is just outright jacking up assessments to get its way. My latest for SPLCenter.org:
