Oh hey, a huge study showing phones in school are terrible. Can we please use common sense (and science) and get these things out of the classrooms? Cc Jonathan Haidt

The guy on the left is comically worse than the guy on the right.

If Florida had a fair Supreme Court, this part of the state's constitution would present some gerrymandering issues. "No apportionment plan or individual district shall be drawn with the intent to favor or disfavor a political party." Guess we'll see. I'm sure Dems will sue.

Democrats in California’s congressional delegation have "privately agreed" to a 48-4 map per Punchbowl News. This makes sense to me as a safe way to gain 5 seats in a way unlikely to dummymander. Will make McClintock (CA-5) a massive vote sink while maintaining Fong (CA-20) as

Discourse around the BLS data is extremely depressing and ominous. We’re really going to look back and regret setting this stuff on fire

If gerrymandering hurts Republicans so much, why don’t they outlaw it at the federal level?

Parties don’t undertake massive nationwide gerrymandering efforts when they are winning.

Tulsi Gabbard is a threat to our national security and should be fired.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

Whatever your reason for not voting or voting 3rd party, I promise it wasn’t worth destroying our country over.

We’ll never notice, but these decisions will kill millions down the road

Would be curious to know if Kennedy told U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. he was going to halt $500m in vaccine projects since one of the conditions for the confirmation vote was, apparently, some advanced discussion/warning around vaccine related moves.
