The Supreme Court seems willing to entertain a gerrymandering case out of Louisiana where white voters argue it’s “unfair” for Black voters to receive fair representation.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

As I've been arguing, Trump signed the bill for release of the Epstein files not because he cares about looking transparent, but rather because it's lethal for him to be perceived as losing control of the GOP

New in PN: The lame duck dictatorship

"It’s increasingly clear that Trump & his captive political party are in the midst of a political reversal. Every major 'policy' of theirs is unpopular & the regime’s leader is a lame duck dictator who's poised to draw his party deeper into a political abyss."
The lame duck dictatorship
Trump is fighting his "war within" on multiple fronts and losing them all.

“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

Murphy: "Congress doesn't work the way it used to. It used to be you could negotiate with Senate Republicans and they would stick to the agreement. Today all that matters is what Trump believes, so you really can't negotiate w/ Republicans bc they are just waiting for Trump to tell them what to do"

How *dare* you take this as a sign that Trump and Musk and Thiel are planning to steal state and national elections using AI tech
Breaking news: The Trump administration is drafting an executive order that would direct the Justice Department to sue states that pass laws regulating artificial intelligence, according to a copy reviewed by The Post.

The draft order comes after Republicans in Congress failed to pass a federal ban on state AI regulation, as more lawmakers raise concerns about the technology.

Miami residents have reached a breaking point. Only days ago, voters rejected an expansion of the Commission’s authority to sell public land. Now they’re attempting the same outcome through zoning maneuvers and “resilience” mechanisms that will allow a developer take-over.

The next time - and we all know it will be very soon - you encounter someone babbling about "leftwing cancel culture" as an an equivalent to (and perhaps even the cause of) the rightwing assault on free speech, please remember this.
The “canceled people” database listing victims of cancel culture, which includes oft-repeated cases such as Bret Weinstein (Evergreen State College) and James Damore (Google), has a little over 200 entries across 18 years.

Guys, I lied, the answer wouldn't shock you, yes, it's all AI. This is from an elected official, you'd expect something like this would result in a resignation, but we live in a new age of accountability where in group loyalty trumps everything.

He’s compelling to some people because he notices genuine failures. But in my framework these failures come from the collapse of the verification–deliberation–accountability cycle. Fix that and the system can work, ignore it and nothing will.
