a huge victory for universities, worth billions of dollars: Trump can’t cap indirect-cost rates on NIH grants, appeals court rules

Trump Can’t Cap Overhead Rate on NIH Grants to Research Universities, Appeals Court Rules
The ruling is a victory for higher-education associations who challenged the proposed 15-percent cap, calling it illegal and claiming it would devastate the research enterprise.

LaMalfa's district was set to change in the new Prop 50 map for the 2026 elections, but a special election will be held in the old redistricting commission map to replace LaMalfa.

With @mtgreener.bsky.social's resignation, the GOP majority in the House is narrow. This is similar to what happened in the 1950s Senate where deaths led to change in party control. We found unexpected deaths affected policy. theconversation.com/what-happens...
What happens when senators die or are incapacitated?
With several senators testing positive for the coronavirus, and many older than 65, political scientists look at 1954, when senators’ deaths changed control of the chamber.

RIP to Rep. Doug LaMalfa, who unexpectedly passed. Unexpected deaths in a narrowly-divided Congress have an impact on policy outcomes, as @NicholasNapolio and I show in our research on past Congresses with unexpected deaths. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Hi @kjephd.bsky.social - I offered some thoughts on the CA redistricting effort and how it passed on this podcast with @rmichaelalvarez.bsky.social right after the Prop 50 vote. I have lots of other thoughts too, and may write about it in a few years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EC_...

Is there anything optimistic about the redistricting wars? On this @usc.edu panel, I talked about how redistricting wars are energizing research & student work in my Democracy & Fair Elections Lab while also raising intense public interest. www.youtube.com/watch?t=3264...

Very interesting polling results on redistricting. Voters support independent redistricting; and/but want maps that help their parties right now. www.politico.com/news/2025/11/21/poll-redistricting-partisan-gerrymandering-midterms-00663612

A majority of both Democrats and Republicans support redrawing congressional districts to give their side a boost next year.

Texas congressional maps blocked by federal court. The first backfire in the 2026 redistricting wars. Court says stick to 2021 lines, though special master probably would be best move. www.texastribune.org/2025/11/18/texas-redistricting-ruling-lawsuit-el-paso-court-2026-midterms/
Federal court blocks new Texas congressional map for 2026
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump.

New congressional map in Utah. My students this semester drew maps in Utah as part of a lab assignment, as Utah's state law has extensive and clear criteria on fairness. There are 100s of ways to draw a fair map, and the judge picked one. @redistrict.bluesky.bot bsky.app/profile/redi...

(AP) — Kansas’ Republican House leader on Tuesday dropped efforts to force a redraw of U.S. House districts that would have thrust the state into a widening national battle for partisan advantage in the 2026 elections
