It is amazing that the lawyers for Texas tasked with defending Texas' racial gerrymander are essentially throwing both DOJ and the Governor under the bus.

If Trump ever decided to reverse course and send his stormtroopers to invade NYC, this is Exhibit A when the city sues to block him.
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

There’s something important, though, in the fact that Mamdani is going to meet with Trump at the moment of Mamdani’s maximum politician power and popularity and Trump’s greatest weakness and vulnerability. Trump is *always* submissive next to someone who is popular with huge ratings.

Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?

This is unthinkable for Ukraine and undermines U.S. national security. Appeasing dictators never achieves long-term peace. It didn't work in 1938 - and it won't work now.

The plan gives Putin a clear victory:
- Ukraine ceding territory it now holds, after 4 years of fighting;
- Reducing Ukraine's military by over half, making it weak;
- No NATO enlargement, giving Putin a veto over NATO.

She doesn't want to have to campaign for the midterms as a GOP loyalist and then be stained by a disaster. Once she sees failure coming , she wants out immediately.
MTG, smarter than most GOP Congressmen, commits to her strategy: be the first rat off the sinking ship. She predicts the GOP will lose the midterms and Trump will be impeached - and while she's often acting, that seems like a true belief. No one should embrace her but we should respect her savvy.
