The Supreme Court has held that gerrymandering is OK so long as it is done for partisan purposes rather than racial. BUT redrawing maps to eliminate majority minority districts is explcitly racially motivated.

so . . . is the White House plan to rely on the Senate to filibuster the release of the Epstein files, or is he thinking he'll sign the bill, but then DOJ will say they can't release anything because there is an active investigation.

During yesterday's No Kings Rally in D.C., the Trump administration posted men with weapons on the roof of an art gallery.

It increasingly appears that Trump is hoping to engineer a "Gulf of Tonkin" incident to justify an attack on Venezuela.

How worried is Trump about the Epstein files? Worried enough that Speaker Johnson was sent out to float the preposterous notion that any appearance of Trump in the materials is the result of his being an FBI informer. (BTW, head of the FBI at the time was Mueller.)

Bad job numbers released, Trump fires the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. More bad job numbers, Trump declares they are still the Biden numbers. (in the eighth month of Trump's Presidency.)

The unconfirmed story that Russian journalists were served chicken Kiev on the flight to the Alaska summit had its origin with the Editor in Chief of Russia Today. A bit of international trolling?

Trump desperately wants the Nobel Peace Prize. (I'm surprised he hasn't posted a fake one yet.) Somehow I don't think starting a war and then stopping it is the best approach.

The White House insists that Trump was acting in his private capacity when he attended the dinner for Meme coin buyers -- WHICH MEANS HE HAS NO IMMUNITY FOR ANYTHING INVOLVING THIS GRIFT.

Trump and DOGE are losing 85% of the time in court. MAGA Reps ask why a single district judge should be able to make a decision for the whole country. But the operative question is why a single President should be able to ignore laws passed by Congress and signed into law by Presidents.

There seem to be an awful lot of these DOGE Muskrats running around. Think we'll ever learn how much of our money is going to pay them?

Trump attorneys have repeatedly gone into court and, under sworn oath, stated that Musk is not the head of DOGE. In his address to Congress, Trump overtly declared that Musk is the head of DOGE.
