Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.
Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

I hope Harvard’s administration heeds the strong case @ryanenos.bsky.social and @stevelevitsky.bsky.social make in this piece.
To give in to the demands of an authoritarian government would risk the university’s credibility and make it complicit in the erosion of American democracy.

Nurses know:
Staff shortages, longer wait times, delayed diagnoses and treatments, complete closures of hospitals—
The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” won't just hurt the 11 million Americans who will lose their healthcare due to Medicaid and ACA changes.

The thing that's been so aggravating about Trump -- has been visible, in fact, since a year into his first term -- is that he's a paper tiger. Appease him and he'll try to take everything from you. Punch him in the face, and he folds, because he fundamentally only respects strength
Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect.
I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

These two developments show the extraordinary steps Republicans are taking to rig the political system in their bid to preserve state power. With all the focus on a constitutional crisis in Donald Trump’s Washington, it’s easy to overlook how a similar dynamic is playing out at the state level.
Republicans and Elon Musk are also causing a constitutional crisis in the states
The GOP is going to unprecedented lengths to seize power over state courts in North Carolina and Wisconsin.
