Last week, I spoke to SCOTUS scholar @leahlitman.bsky.social in an interview about how the Texas map case posed a test for the Roberts court.
It'd show "immense hypocrisy" to uphold Texas maps, but void Louisiana's, she said.

The right-wing Supreme Court majority has once again shredded its credibility by rubber-stamping a racially gerrymandered map in Texas.
Republicans know the extremists can only win by cheating.
The people of California and beyond will prevent that from happening.

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.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Pete Hegseth leaked classified military intelligence about a U.S. operation before it happened to a reporter — directly putting our personnel at risk.
NatSec is a serious matter and should not be left in such incompetent and irresponsible hands.
He must resign immediately.

Waiting on the identity on the charged bomber, but as an old explosives prosecutor, I'll say that evidence of identity can come from bomb signatures recognized by investigators w/institutional knowledge, components & where they were purchased, or tips. Revisiting old evidence can be illuminating.
