Republican lawmakers in North Carolina announced plans on Monday to redraw the state’s already gerrymandered congressional maps to further favor their party. The most likely target is the First Congressional District, which has the state’s only competitive House seat.
North Carolina Republicans Plan to Redraw Congressional Map to Add a Seat
The Trump administration has pushed Republican leaders to redraw House district maps before the midterm elections next year. His party already holds 10 of North Carolina’s 14 congressional seats.

I vowed to never exercise again. Then along came Ultimate Frisbee | Lucinda Price
I used to be addicted to exercise in all its most joyless, soulless forms. It took a flying object to show me the magnetic joy of play
It all begins with a flick of the wrist. I hold my breath as I watch a disc wobble through the air. When it starts going sideways, I grimace. In that moment, I bear a striking resemblance to a cartoon hen in Chicken Run, but instead of staring down the barrel of my pie-shaped destiny, I’m playing Ultimate Frisbee – and I’ve just executed a deeply suboptimal “pull”.
These are all words I learned mere months ago, and I’m likely using them incorrectly. Either way, they’re the language of a sport that has become my new favourite pastime – and the unexpected key to repairing my once-fractured relationship with exercise. Continue reading...

Recovering from the assault on science and research is short sighted and dangerous.
Of all the terrible things happening in America, what they're doing to their science infrastructure, while not the worst in immediate human impact, is going to be one of the hardest to recover from. US science is done for a generation or more. And that's all China needs to take over.
A top scientist quit RFK's NIH after it demanded his science be reviewed, not by top peers, but by "political appointees," and forbade him from telling a reporter the truth that ultra-processed foods are less addictive than drugs...because that is not an RFK belief. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

Under the Trump administration’s theory of the law, the government could have banished this U.S. citizen to a Salvadoran prison then refused to do anything to bring him back.
This is why the Constitution guarantees due process to all. Could it be more obvious?
