I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

I am begging reporters to heed @jessicacalarco.com's warning here. There is too much equivocation even in articles that highlight RFK Jr's anti-vaccine zealotry. These articles juxtapose a claim he offers, with "other experts say." It is a pernicious tic of mainstream journalism and has to stop.
It's notable that, even in an article critical of RFK Jr., the reporter hedges, saying "There’s no good evidence of serious, widespread harm from the vaccine" rather than just "vaccines are safe." RFK Jr. has made a career of exploiting the ambiguity of the former.

This is the rejoinder to the idea that Republicans’ gerrymandering is pointless. It matters. Not every election is a wave election.
TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.
