In my mail today: a Charles Munger (Berkshire) funded mailing against Gov. Newsom's redistricting tit-for-tat.
Sadly, it is not bad -- it takes a idealistic anti-gerrymandering.
Texas is not mentioned, and most of the people quoted are high-minded lefty Merricks.
Can't take a win for granted.

This CNN headline asks a question any economist can answer. But now expertise and knowledge are being banished from the decision-making process. Money (Trump, Musk) and celebrity (Hegseth!? RFK!?) are being allowed to talk, but scientists and economists and anyone with training are being sidelined.
