TLDR: SCOTUS rules, 6-3, that racial gerrymandering is totally okay when Republicans do it. And if a district court suggests otherwise, they were dumb and too mean to Republicans (specifically “not presuming their good faith”).

They basically fault the panel by saying that they failed to apply the presumption of legislative good faith and failed to take a near-dispositive adverse inference against the plaintiffs for not providing an alternative map.

But the panel expressly considered both of these things.
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

A Missouri appeals court just handed a big win to reproductive supporters by rewriting a summary of a GOP-backed ballot measure to repeal the right to an abortion after concluding the prior version was misleading in many ways.

One of my first journalism professors would give you a zero if you had even one error of fact. It happened to me. Sucked so much. He was one of the best professors I ever had, I took three more classes from him, and we’re still in touch

A true side note: Prince cared deeply about food insecurity, and would routinely make substantial donations to local food banks and community kitchens in every town that he would play in during his later tours. Sometimes they would ask for supplies & his team would show up with huge amounts of food.
A potato has been named after Prince.

Paying $33 million to fire a coach at a public university…

That’s equivalent to the cost of tuition, room, and board for ~1,000 Michigan students.
SOURCES: Michigan State is firing head coach Jonathan Smith, @theathletic.com has learned.

He went 9-15 in two seasons, including 1-8 in the Big Ten this year. (ESPN first reported).

MSU players meeting called for 2:45. Smith has a $33 million buyout (with offset).

used to be when you were offline for a few days you could sort of delude yourself into thinking maybe everything had gotten better but now even if you're in the middle of nowhere, completely disconnected, you can feel, just in the air, that somehow it's now even worse than you can imagine

The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?

Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

huh i wonder if this is because like 90% of nurses are women (it’s definitely because of that)
The Trump admin now says nursing isn't a professional degree.

The admin plan to redefine what constitutes a professional degree to exclude nursing and limit access to student loans — outraging national health care groups and leaving nursing students questioning how they'll pay for graduate degrees.

What really gets me about FDR is that he introduced his Second Bill of Rights idea in 1944, and it's an idea so progressive that you almost couldn't run a campaign on it today because it's too far-reaching. It would be trying to accomplish too much. How far we have fallen.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.

New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.
