Yes please 🙏 go ahead
Virginia state House Speaker Don Scott said in a fundraising email last night that in light of the SCOTUS Texas ruling, Democrats in Virginia will pursue a new 10-1 gerrymander.

This is leadership.

Putting racism into Lawful Process. Hooray segregation!
Sincerely, if I was a Dem executive and had an idea this was going to happen, I’d deploy armed officers to bar any intruders from the citizenship ceremony until it was complete. A sacred space and a sacred obligation, and letting fascist goons pick people off at the front door is an abomination
“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

I assume by “our” he is not talking about the company he owns that is the subject of the fine. I think by “our” he means that the government of the US must fight his battle for him.

Talk about breaking Precedent
We need to talk about the massive loophole that the Supreme Court just carved into election law over the shadow docket—giving states a free pass to enact patently unconstitutional voting rules within nearly *one year* of an election. A stunning new limit on judicial review. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Double standards
Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

Why are we investing so much money in submarines and precision weapons? If you believe HegSSeth on the lethality and span of these fisherman’s boats, 10-20000 of them should suffice to protect America from any potential danger.

“What’s your plan for the Court?” is the only question that matters for 2028 Democratic hopefuls, because if they don’t, the Republican Super Legislature is hatcheting their agenda before it can get off the ground.
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

Blue States Gerrymander
Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia.

They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana.

Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this
