If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

There are no districts in NC greater than R +10.
In a big wave election, the Republicans could lose the entire state.

If this wave were to persist into next year, the Republicans could dummymander a *lot* of seats.
The PVIs of the *current* map in NC of R held seats are R+ 5 7 8 8 8 9 9 9 10 10
In a Dem wave year maybe they wouldn't win all or many but they'd be very close and require a lot of resources to defend

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Today, I’m announcing the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission.
I’ve been clear from Day One: If other states are determining whether or not they have fair maps, so will Maryland.

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

Come to UNC, where the head coach will prevent scouts from watching you play to settle his petty beefs from his last job
Sources confirm to @dougkyed.bsky.social and me Bill Belichick has banned #Patriots scouts from attending UNC practices.
