I certainly wouldn’t want to be a House rep from Texas in a Trump +15 or less district that got gerrymandered down to +5 or something like that.

The redistricting relies on low turn out by the Latinos to benefit the GOP. recent elections/poling suggest this will not be the case.
TX GOP knew it which is why they had not done it before.. but they were too cowardly to stand up to Trump.

If you told me this was a “Confederate” Court by a 6-3 majority—equally *contemptuous* of American law, in favor of any jurisprudence that lets insurrectionists get everything they want, no matter how illegal—I would say that that is perfectly consistent with facts on the ground.

No U.S. Supreme Court has ever gaslit as much as this one—altering facts and terms and precedents at will while *always* claiming the high ground.
And why not? When you have no scruples and know you have the numbers and are nakedly partisan, who gives a f*ck about jurisprudence?

Collins probably sees that there is very little chance of winning in a D+10 environment and might be reluctant to have her final campaign be a loss.
There could be a plot twist in the Maine senate race:
Susan Collins has reportedly said she still plans to run for re-election but hasn’t made a final decision yet. She has not yet filed to run for re-election.

Russia is a war with the West. All Western countries except Ukraine refuse to defend themselves, maintaining a policy of defeatism and cowardice.
Ukrainians will hold out as long as they can, but they've been the only nation fighting for Western civilization for almost 12 years.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.
