from Democracy Docket

“Today was my 6th day in El Paso covering the Texas redistricting hearing & it was the most consequential yet. Adam Kincaid, the GOP operative who drew Texas’ gerrymandered map. As you know, if allowed to stand, the map could flip five congressional seats in the midterms.”

Introduction post! I am Thomas Carpentier, I studied (and plan to continue) History of space in Toulouse, France. 🔭

My main contribution here is the data processing of space telescopes observations! Here are some examples and more on my Flickr page: www.flickr.com/people/19746...

The best part of processing space telescopes' data is to discover new regions that I didn't even know existed in the first place! 🔭

This is G054.093+01.748, a star forming region in our galaxy, as seen by the JWST recently, located in the Outer Scutum–Centaurus spiral arm.

A big gas cloud where new stars are being born seen in infrared light. The gas cloud itself appears in red, orange, and violet colours, occupying almost the entire image. Hundreds of dots are spread across the picture, as they are stars in our own galaxy.

So let's see if the Trump administration starts screaming that CNN cutting off their internet is radical left's ruining their interview. Somehow I think they're going to shut up about it because there was no interview trouble and Stephen Miller cut the link on his end.

Like honestly, if you don't want people to call you a Nazi stop acting like a Nazi you stupid Nazis. And the Nazis really were stupid. So we're in no different boat than 1934.

Trump having “plenary authority” suggests the president has assumed total power over the decision to deploy the National Guard in some states.

Plenary authority, the dictator phrase that caused Stephen Miller to stop talking

Miller suggests Trump wields absolute power over decisions to send in the National Guard, before suddenly stopping speaking in an awkward interview moment

“Under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the president has plenary authority, has—” Miller began, before stopping and staring into the camera, blinking.

After a commercial break, the CNN host called the moment a “technical difficulty,” and Miller did not mention “plenary authority” again. trib.al/pQ44ghR
