The new lines, which were designed to help the GOP gain up to five House seats in next year's midterm elections, triggered a nationwide redistricting battle.

Spoiler: they’re not fit for bedtime reading, and definitely not fit for the federal bench.

Groups like @peoplefor.bsky.social and @afj.org have already opposed Ganjei's nomination because of his deep ties to right-wing activist groups and his horrific anti-immigrant record — including his use of racist and dehumanizing language to attack marginalized communities.

Hearing starts at 10!

Nevada’s Supreme Court has unanimously revived the criminal case against six Trump allies who posed as “fake electors” in 2020.

Trump’s recent pardoning of these defendants won't apply here because presidential power can’t wipe away state charges. #StateCourtsMatter www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Nevada Supreme Court revives criminal case over Trump elector gambit
The 6-0 decision comes just days after Trump pardoned dozens of allies — including these defendants — for any potential federal crimes related to the 2020 election.

Thank you, Senator Murray, for standing firm in defense of our courts and voting no on Eric Tung’s nomination to the Ninth Circuit.

We appreciate your continued commitment to opposing Trump's #UnfitAndUnqualified judicial nominees.
I voted NO on Eric Tung for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Washington state.

He's spent his career attacking workers' rights, reproductive rights, environmental laws, and voting rights—and embracing dangerous fringe theories. Republicans confirmed him anyway.
