Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

Chris Hayes nailed it: Every single county in Virginia swung toward Democrats—yes, even the rural ones.
This wasn’t a normal election. It was a RECKONING.
Voters chose sanity over chaos, progress over decline.

Occupy DC is happening right now. Huge amount of protestors and vets have marched the streets of DC.
It’s getting no coverage.
They aren’t leaving until Trump is gone. Their movement is growing. We need to get the word out.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Relevant History: The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 established the first comprehensive merit-based civil service system in the US.
It was intended to do away with "The Spoils System" whereby unqualified people got govt jobs for their political loyalty, a bad system we've returned to.
