This is funny. Gov. Greg Abbott delayed in scheduling the
#TX18
specialโwhich is taking place under the old linesโand almost certainly did so to keep a Dem seat vacant. The court cites that still-ongoing special as proof that reverting to the old lines would not be disruptive. Oops!

Very rare to see someone lay out so explicitly that they do not consider "never again" to be a universalist creed. I don't know how people who talk like this can stand to look themselves in the mirror.

The reason we have laws* against bribery is that companies will absolutely bribe politicians at the very first opportunity if it is good for the bottom line, because they see it as a sound business decision, not a civilizational betrayal. /1

I know we're all used to just taking it for granted that GOP politicians are tied up in kooky far-right church circles, and many of them are, but it's genuinely an outlier for Hegseth to be so into this particular weirdo's tiny extremist sect. He's fringe even for the religious right.

โWe are in the middle of a scandal of elites palling around with one of the most infamous child sex traffickers in the world, and this is our political press? No wonder Epstein got away with it all so long: many of the men tasked with being the watchdogs were almost as gross as he was with women.โ

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

Yes, the vote isn't needed for Trump to release the files. Yes, he doesn't care about laws. But also yes, there are signs that people ostensibly on Trump's side have an expectation that the Congressional vote isn't just performative.

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now? TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Note: The court ruled that Texas violated the 14th and 15th Amendments by discriminating on the basis of race when drawing its new Republican gerrymander. So this opinion will not be fatally undermined by the Supreme Court's impending blow to the Voting Rights Act; it has an independent rationale.
