Democrats could have banned partisan gerrymandering in 2009. The GOP would not have had a ~16-seat House advantage since 2013. House Dems could have reintroduced Lofgren's Redistricting Reform Act and sent it to the Senate, and 60 Democratic senators could have passed it. They did not vote on it.

Of course.

I’ve said it before but we need a congressional injury report. Hill reporters should designate a Woj or Shams to call every office at least once a week.

Never a dull moment.

"Duffy said on Fox that the show was filmed over the course of seven months. He’s paid $203,500 annually, so that’s $118,708 in taxpayer dollars paid to him while he was at least mixing work and play." @kylekhanmullins.bsky.social for Forbes

Spencer Pratt Punches Back at Claim He Doesn’t Live in Trailer: ‘I Don’t Have a House, They Burned It Down!’

This is grounds for a revolution

This is simply bonkers. The White House is in active discussions with DOJ about settling Trump's lawsuit against the IRS in his favor, *precisely because* a judge might soon throw it out. WH apparently wants DOJ to agree to "settle" the lawsuit *before* that happens. Utter insanity.

CA gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer says that the Warner Bros./Paramount merger is a “right-wing takeover of media.” “When you’re trying to have a coup, the two things you control are the army and the TV stations.”

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. /1

There was a time when the United States sent professional diplomats on presidential visits to foreign countries—to look our for the interests of the American people. Now, we send crass asshole oligarchs, like Elon Musk, to look out for their own interests.

Nintendo goes after another fan project. smh

Any reporter asking a Republican about Trump's latest unhinged statement should have the video cued up or the Truth Social post printed out so they can't claim that's not what he really said or they didn't hear it or whatever. They act like he's an infallible god. Make them own his words.

Yeah no kidding they have to let Verstappen to race in whatever he wants on his off time.

This is fucking asinine to wait nearly 4 years. Disney is so lost.

Israeli officials and their allies complain that describing Israel's genocidal behavior is "blood libel." …But look at what's being openly said on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel:

Hahahaha all I could figure out was Scherzer’s nose

It should be pointed out over and over that besides Bari Weiss being completely obsessed with turning CBS into a television version of her anti-woke, pro-Israel blog, she is also extremely incompetent at the nuts and bolts of running a network. www.semafor.com/article/05/1...

HUFFMAN: Do you agree most Americans are struggling right now to afford basic necessities because of rising costs? BURGUM: This administration inherited the highest inflation in 40 years H: Are families struggling w/ rising costs? Yes or no B: During the first yea- H: You're deflecting to Biden

DEXTER: Your budget cuts parks by $1b. If you put this $1b towards parks instead of Trump's ballroom, you could avoid it. That would benefit everyone. Did you ever object to this level of spending on the ballroom? BURGUM: There's a massive security compl- D: It's clear to me you didn't do anything

RANDALL: Look at this safety hazard. There's $300m in repairs needed for Olympic Park. Now look at this AI image Trump posted of draining the reflecting pool. Which do you think should be higher priority? BURGUM: We have issues all over the US R: Yes! And you prioritize Trump's vanity projects
