The DOJ is suing to stop California’s redistricting map. Apparently vote approved maps are a problem, but partisan gerrymanders done without public input are just democracy working as intended?

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench.
In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

"Why does no one trust media anymore?"
I dont know. Maybe because you're publishing stories framed as "why are these underage girls having sex with and ruining the lives of all of these powerful men?"

Absolutely mind-buggering how many people are happy going on the public record with their opinion that that grown-ass adults doing whatever they want with their own bodies is an Abomination Unto Nuggan, but sex-trafficking teenage girls is a bit naughty, and they should have kept quieter about it.

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has ended, but the uncertainty for federal workers is far from over. “Even with back pay, we’ll still be starting behind and playing catch-up for a while,” said one Veterans Affairs employee who was furloughed for weeks. nyti.ms/4i4bP56

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?

The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes.
But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?
"Congressman _____ voted against releasing the Epstein Files" isn't an ad you want before the midterms

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!
