On the Monday before the voting, Trump said on a conference call with supporters that gerrymandering is "not good" after urging multiple red states to do it. Virginia Dems tell me that by saying this, Trump inadvertently confirmed their closing message: newrepublic.com/article/2093...

Trump knows that everyone understands what "Low IQ person" means when he says it but the press isn't willing to write it. He knows they will always cover for him and he loves that he can get away with it. He's used so many old timey racist terms he hopes no one knows but he also does this

Interesting phrasing here from WWE--given the ticket prices and the fact that it was a two-day event, how is not definitively the highest grossing event in company history? Unless, of course, a lot of tickets were comped/reduced.

There's a very easy way to end all of this gerrymandering: Congress can pass a law outlawing it. And Democrats have repeatedly proposed exactly that. Republicans have uniformly rejected these proposals every single time.

WWE wrestlers being treated like zoo animals should cause them to push back. Instead, they accept it. Imagine if the Jags had Trevor Lawrence fly himself to the Raiders game without hotel security? AEW proves wrestlers can be treated like humans, but too many just want the fed.

In AEW TV shows, a two hour show uses a 9-break format. 5 of those breaks are picture-in-picture during the match. Only 4 breaks are “off-air” breaks and they average about 3 minutes. So in the two hours plus overrun, the show is in true break for around 12-13 minutes total.
