The new map targets the district of Democratic US House Rep. Don Davis, which has been represented by a Black member of Congress for more than three decades, shifting it from a district Trump won by 3 points to 12 points under the new lines.

Republicans are making one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation even more rigged
North Carolina Republicans just passed a new Trump-inspired congressional map to oust a Black Democrat.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.
We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.
We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age.
We won. This is from my closing statement.
There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

The 1939 Hatch act prohibits civil service employees in the exec. branch, except POTUS & VP, from engaging in some forms of political activity. Imposing loyalty oaths on civil servants violate it by demanding that they be loyal not to the US but to Trump.

Trump’s Odious New Demand of the Civil Service: Loyalty Oaths
They were a disaster when Harry Truman forced them on federal workers—but at least he demanded loyalty to the United States, not to the president himself.

What Trump is doing in his second term is simply stupid. America's leadership in science, medicine, tech is threatened by his shoot from the hip management style which resulted in his six previous bankruptcies. His voters think Mr. Tough Guy will bully his way thru and make us "greater".
