NEW: Judge Dianna Gibson has delivered her ruling on a new congressional map in Utah — and it's a win for Democrats, who now look on course to pick up another House seat in 2026.
Gibson ruled a revised map from the GOP-controlled admin following a previous court defeat was still unfair to Dems.

There was a similar thermostatic anti-287(g) backlash during Trump 1.0. On a local levels, non-cooperation policies have had enormous success in recent years. Unfortunately, that has also led to a backlash, with multiple GOP states *mandating* cooperation through new state laws.
NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
