4. Don’t grade on a curve
This goes both ways. Do not hold Republicans to a lower standard and do not hold Democrats to a higher one. When a Republican does something normal, recognize it is normal not exceptional. When a Democrat does something normal, recognize it is normal and not terrible.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:
We are not a 50/50 country. We are a gerrymandered and voter suppressed country. Should we ever resolve those issues (...), then, perhaps, we'll know the actual extent of our political divisions.

The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.
And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.

Straight out of Stuttgart…Arkansas that is. Stuttgart is known for rice farms & ducks, but I’m fonder of its other exports…me (born there about 150 years ago) and this cheese ball recipe from Ms. Charlene’s 2001 Holy Rosary School 4th grade Friends/Family Cookbook. #holidaycooking #foodie
