Not sure what else you'd think, but: views my own, travel deals posted as PSA, RTs not endorsements - except for the dogs. Those I endorse.

The judge had the authority to order a fair map b/c the people of Utah voted for a constitutional amendment requiring it. The GOP leg ignored it, leading to the suit.
Partisan gerrymanders are not illegal under Federal law. It depends on the state. And increasingly, the makeup of the state’s SC.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Red states produce the bulk of our meat, true—though California still produces 8% of American beef.
But the red states’ role as America’s breadbasket is LONG gone. Most red state agro-economy has been redirected from human-grade food to commodity feedstock.
And much of that is on federal welfare.

It goes even deeper than this. The vast bulk of red state agriculture is corn, soybeans or seed crops.
And most of it is not for US human consumption! We export 20% of our corn, half of our soybean and seeds. The rest?
Most of it becomes oil, animal feed or….ETHANOL.
The subsidized fuel additive.

Half the fruits and vegetables in the US come from California, 75% of the nuts. The flyover states like to pretend they do much
