15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

There is an exception to every trend and that is Utah. We have our own gerrymandering problem that we've been battling for years but our red roots are deep and strangling this state. If it says R by the name Utahns will gladly pick it every time and smile while they choke to death.
Again, these maps have got to be causing a massive panic in any state where they're considering gerrymandering.
“.. There were no counties or cities (as of writing) that moved right relative to four years ago. On average, they instead moved 13 points to the left.”

"Pregnancy-related crimes." The rage supply in my spirit is apparently bottomless.
Over a two-year period, prosecutors across 16 states charged more than 400 people with pregnancy-related crimes, with most of the charges originating in states with near or total abortion bans, according to a new report released Tuesday.
New study finds more than 400 pregnancy-related prosecutions after Roe's fall
Most of the cases involved allegations of substance use during pregnancy, a nonprofit legal group found.

This Redistricting committee meeting is absolutely unhinged. This legislation has such thin skin and fragile egos. It's telling the only 2 democrats on the committee are being attacked by everyone else
Rep. Owens now hints the maps the legislature has proposed are illegal.
"You just demeaned US," Chair Sandall says, getting angry and calling him "out of order."
Rep. Owens apologizes, but says they have a "suspicion." Chair Sandall is fuming.
