Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

The Saints are a disgusting organization. Attempted to sign sexual predator DeShaun Watson (the owner personally flew on her private jet to recruit him), heavily involved in the cover up of Catholic church sexual abuse scandal, and now attempting to sign another sexual predator. Nuke the franchise.
The Saints are hosting a kicker tryout and former Pro Bowler Justin Tucker is among those invited, per me and Mike Garafolo
This is his first workout since being suspended 10 games by the NFL for violating the personal conduct policy.

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.
After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.
