It’s a Pyrrhic win, as it entrenches gerrymandering. A better outcome would’ve been maps that truly represent their voters. Still, this is the reality we’re left with to stop clear authoritarianism.
“.. a victory for Democrats, who had devised the plan after President Trump pushed Republican-led states to redraw their maps to help the G.O.P. pick up seats ..”

As the Pax Americana sunsets, one possibility is global nuclearization as more states pursue nuclear deterrence. Not only Canada but also: Japan, South Korea, Germany… and that’s just our allies.

One last fucked up 2025 scoop—FEMA has begun issuing termination notices to CORE staff (appointed under the Stafford Act, ordinarily extended for 2 years) effective Jan 2, agency sources tell me. Sr leadership was asked if they could be given more notice but Acting Administrator Karen Evans said no.

If you’ve ever thought about running for office as a Democrat, now’s the time. Trump is so unpopular, a thin can can get elected (not a slight to anyone who won last night—congrats BTW). The party needs fresh, smart, solutions-focused voices of leaders who actually want to make life better. Step up.
