As NYPD officials boasted of the resources expended finding the killer of a corporate CEO, another sidewalk murder the same week, of a migrant teen, has not received the same treatment. hellgatenyc.com/two-manhatta...

10.12.2024 20:32 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0After securing a majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court in 2022, Republican justices promptly overturned a ruling that had struck down GOP gerrymanders, paving the way for their partyβs lawmakers to draw a new map designed to hand them several congressional districts. By then, Democrats already had no recourse outside of state courts: This U.S. Supreme Court has shut the door on complaints of partisan gerrymandering proceeding in federal courts. The maneuver paid off last week. The GOP flipped three U.S. House seats, a windfall in light of that chamberβs tiny overall margin.
The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.
And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Wore my BART sweater today, and I think this is why the transit gods blessed me. Took 2 BART rides and 2 MUNI rides, and never waited more than 2 min at any point, even without looking at the transit times on the way into SF! Truly a holiday miracle.
