The corrupt Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Texas to use a gerrymandered congressional map that will boost Trump’s effort to keep Republicans in control of Congress, blocking a lower court decision that found the new boundaries were likely unconstitutional because they were drawn based on race.

I have been thinking about this for months. What's the point of Cassidy being a senator, a doctor, and now in the case of hepatitis-B, a gastroenterologist? What good is power if he doesn't use it to stop what's coming and roll back damage done? Even if it takes impeachment articles against Kennedy?
That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.
ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today.

Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.

But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!

He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

SCOTUS has spoken. Right? Every blue state needs to get onboard with this. And hurry the hell up.

If gerrymandering were illegal nationwide, Republicans would struggle to hold the House at all. The only thing propping them up all these years are rigged maps.

Pete Hegseth, Trump and the rest of his supremacist Nazi regime are nothing but a bunch of fucking repulsive monsters. It is my sincerest hope that whatever they dish out they get back tenfold. When their time comes I hope they suffer the same as the people who have been a target of their ire.

Opposition to women’s voting rights has long been a fringe, but persistent, feature of the American right. It’s been a favorite hobby horse of extremist preachers; it trended among Trump supporters on social media in the lead-up to the 2016 election...

Blaming Biden for every damn thing has gotten really old.

Trump swore he’d fix everything on “day one,” and his voters swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

Folks are finally waking up to the scam. And this poll is not just Democrats.

Conservative Republicans are also pushing to include language restricting funds going to abortion, which Democrats are calling a nonstarter and a backdoor attempt to ban abortion nationwide.

I grew up in California in 1970s. The air was brown and stinky and gave me headaches. A lot of people had asthma and low grade lead poisoning. I left at 19 in large part to get away from the toxic air.

I live in California now and the sky is clear and it's easy to breathe.

I don't want to go back.
