Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal.

A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal.

But the Supreme Court reversed it.

Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).

You were born here? You may be a citizen, depending on who your parents are.

You went through naturalization process? You may be a citizen, depending on your skin color/country of origin.

You’re Afrikaans? No further questions, citizen!
It's worth noting, for those who *do* have a legitimate procedural/rule-of-law objection to illegal immigration, that Trump is not acting on that idea; he's acting on can only be called nativism and xenophobia. lnk.thebulwark.com/48vef8l

He’s not just bashing refugees and illegal immigrants. He’s going after U.S. citizens born in other countries.

MORE Breaking on MS NOW: Pete Hegseth refused an interview request for the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signalgate, according to two sources who read and were briefed on report.

Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.
Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says.

Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

Funny (to me) idea: democrats become vigorous advocates for prison reform and criminal rehabilitation. Prisons are places GOP members can be reformed, not just be locked away and forgotten about.

Working theory: jerks are successful because the modern life requires people to advocate for themselves to get key services.

Socially, we’re supposed to be easy going and courteous. Jerks buck that social contract, putting their interests before others and being louder than we’d like.

The AI Chatbot is a UX designed for executives. If your sense of how you do things is "I ask someone else to do them" the chatbot makes sense. If you actually do stuff, it mostly doesn't.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

Well said, @katmabu.bsky.social! This is the winning message. Either get with it or get out of the way.
Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Taking the Coast Guard rescue helicopter out of Newport is dangerous and senseless, especially as we go into crabbing season.

I’ve been fighting like hell to push back on Trump’s move and bring this critical helicopter back to Newport where it belongs. Lives are at stake!

"The danger presented by the lack of rescue helicopter coverage justifies” the granting of a temporary order “on an expedited basis,” the judge wrote.

somebody on here suggested awhile back that a pretty compelling 2028 Democrat campaign promise would be "on day one I will deploy a WPA-scale army of forensic accountants across every square inch of the federal government" and I think about that every day
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

So true. Cotton candy authoritarians.
The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

Rep Houlahan re Dems filing articles of impeachment in response to Trump threatening lawmakers’ lives: “I’ve definitely seen chatter about that.”

“seen chatter”

By their words and deeds, I don’t think Dems understand the danger we’re in or how angry their constituents are
Rep Chrissy Houlahan also forcefully points out that virtually no Republicans have condemned Trump's call for Democrats' execution. How is that not a bigger story?

I also asked her if Dems should file impeachment articles. Here's the key exchange on all this:
