If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps

Taxpayers aren’t supposed to deduct losses from something that has no hope of being a profitable business.

But billionaire-owned operations that look like expensive hobbies, like race horses, rack up business deductions by the tens of millions of dollars.

Odd that unlike JD that was on all three network shows Pritzker was only on This Week that also had George telling off JD and Christie factually describing DOJ. I’m guessing everyone guessed what Pritzker was going to say and only ABC had the integrity to broadcast it.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.
