This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.
This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

But our heroes deserve more than applause once a year—they deserve to be honored every day, not with layoffs or cuts jeopardizing their care.
We owe it to them to do right by those who served.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Angus King: "This initial strategy didn't work. And now we have one. We're gonna have a guaranteed vote on the ACA, and it may not succeed. I grant that. But a reasonable chance -- 10, 20, 30% -- is a lot better than 0% which is where we were."
