Major redistricting news:

Colorado Dems are launching a ballot initiative effort for November that would let them redraw the House map in 2028 to counter Republican gerrymanders elsewhere.

A new map could flip 3 currently GOP seats & create a 7-1 Dem majority (though some may flip in 2026 anyway)

Neither Jared Kushner nor Steve Witkoff are diplomats. Yet both are pretending to "negotiate" Russia's war against Ukraine and Iran's development of nuclear weapons at the same time.
