Last night you suggested that people google "Jim Jordan's district map". When you do, most of top results show maps before the 2022 redistricting. There are much more egregious Ohio examples than his 4th.
Ignoring the state Constitution, here are 2022 (L) & 2026 districts

I lived in Germany for a few years in an apartment building at the top of a hill. My balcony faced another hill that had a monument to Goethe at the top. I was told he had liked to sit at that spot. Perhaps that was a place at which he wondered.

Over that period, immigrants created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US $, including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest on the debt.
Without immigrants, US government public debt at all levels would be at least 205% of gross domestic product—nearly twice its 2023 level.

I had not watched Dark Winds until your recommendation, when you mentioned Tony Hillerman. I had read some of his books 30+ years ago. I set my DVR to record all episodes. Last night AMC started showing season 2, then 3 (which I've seen). A new season starts Feb 15.
Thanks.

Some great videos to bookmark.
Well, I was laid off at The Washington Post today.
It's been an honor to work with some of the best journalists in the business.
I'm hoping to continue reporting, producing videos and finding long-forgotten archival footage.
If you have any openings, reach out.
