Trump’s mid-decade gerrymandering push in Texas was meant to secure extra GOP seats and protect his second-term agenda. Instead, a federal judge struck down the maps. Here’s a look at the state of the redistricting wars and what it could mean for next year’s midterms.

When Trump calls journalists, in this case women, “insubordinate” and “piggy,” it’s not just crude disrespect—it’s a loud warning. He wants a press that obeys him, and he’s working to normalize that kind of rulership. Jeff Nesbit’s analysis on this is a must read.
From “fake news” to “quiet, piggy”: The dark evolution of a decade-long war on truth
Make the messenger so repulsive or small in the eyes of the base, and the message itself evaporates.

Drafting a "peace plan" with Putin and then telling the Ukrainians to accept it is not mediation. It's acting as an agent for the Kremlin. Trump's and Witkoff's efforts to appease Putin are deeply disappointing. I was fooled into thinking Trump had finally figured Putin out. Looks like I was wrong

Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies — retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.
He also claims the Dems are engaging in 'seditious behavior'.

Trump has gone off the rails this morning, calling for democrats to be arrested & killed, which only means one thing: he knows his time is up.
He will be impeached. He will be convicted. He will be removed. And this entire regime will be held accountable for its attack on our democracy and people.
