TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

A guess: this would leak anyway, especially something on this scale; and every single person in the Pentagon except Hegseth rightly thinks that this is insane and hopes publicity will make it not happen.
It’s wild to me that the Pentagon is just… fine with reporting that most of our senior military are going to be in the same location.

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law.

he tried but just could not pronounce acetaminophen so just went with the brand
There are more things wrong with this than I could possibly fit in 300 characters. But, a particularly dumb aspect is that they’re pointing the blame at “Tylenol,” a massive brand with an army of lawyers, rather than saying “acetaminophen.” 😂
Trump: "With Tylenol -- don't take it. Don't take it!"
