GOP cannot prove that California's Prop 50 districts have a RACIAL bias.
1. Paul Mitchell designed districts with PARTISAN bias.
2. Voters approved Prop 50 districts with PARTISAN advantage and all supplied ballot materials call for PARTISAN victories.

Finally found it. Pete Skandalakis is the cousin of notoriously corrupt GOP politician Mitch Skanadlakis.
Mitch, of course, has connections to GOP leaders from the 90s in Georgia. He endorsed defendant David Schafer for Lt Gov of GA.

Seems like most (esp. "journalists") criticizing Fani Willis for using RICO or getting disqualified are glossing over the facts that she elicited several guilty pleas from defendants and was replaced by a MAGA prosecutor who is the one requesting the dismissal. Are journalists really this ignorant?

National Guard Shooting in DC. Two guardsmen were shot just days after a judge ruled that the deployment of the National Guard into Washington DC was unlawful. But for some reason, they were still there being exploited as political pawns. These men may die because the president ignored a court order

Last week a judge ruled the deployment of National Guard in DC illegal. In the order, the judge noted the substantial risk that the deployment “is going to lead to a dangerous or deadly encounter that could be catastrophic for public safety.”

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Universal Basic Income & universal government healthcare.
The alarming trend I'm seeing in 2025 is that companies are quietly laying off employees and replacing their positions with AI.
This means that even if the economy improves, those jobs are not coming back.
So where will these people work? What will this do to our economy?

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.
