NYT: Did Texas Republicans Overplay Their Hand on Redistricting?

It would be so satisfying to see the naked gerrymander of the Texas districts backfire. Remember, when you dilute the Dem leaning districts by moving the lines, you also dilute the "safe" Rep districts you put the voters into.

You are describing corporate media shills, not journalists. Whether there are still any working in MSM is debatable, but the internet has created new venues for actual journalism,

Unless you're Chuck Norris

Because of Biden's policies that were working? Or because of the trade wars Trump initiated in a typical bullyboy fashion?

The same individuals who own these "offshore tax haven" companies contribute millions to the main political parties to maintain their tax loopholes. The billionaires benefit, the politicians benefit, and the taxpayers suffer from lack of funds for better healthcare, education, etc.

She is describing a kidnapping by a crime syndicate, not law enforcement. There will be a lot to answer for when the midterm elections replace this supplicant Congress.

Has he considered that leaning into the claims of the far right just gives them more credibility? You won't defeat the far right by becoming the "not quite so far" right.

When many economists talk about aggregate economic indicators, they ignore the difference between inflation on discretionary items like holidays and dining out, and the inflation on necessities like housing, food and energy. People can't cut back on rent or mortgage payments.

micro mushrooms. Very cool.

In my experience, the annoyance of the cat lasts for a few moments while it repositions on the sofa and goes back to sleep.

Their corporate masters know who to suck up to.

But how many are in the hands of Trump's MAGA militias?

Aren't ethics violations and conflicts of interest job requirements?

The worst of the worst -their recruiting slogan

It looks like the sun when down in flames. Nature as artist.

We'll judge it by what it does. If it serves as a sort of cultural center, it will be well received. If it serves as simply a place to house memorabilia, it will not draw in the community.

In a presser, he doesn't even bother to put forward some shaky justification. The rest of South and Central America should be worried. He is no more likely to stop at Venuzuela than Putin is to stop at Ukraine.

Trump seems to be trying to validate his right wing ideas by promoting parties in Europe that align with him on issues like immigration. Meanwhile, floating ideas like withdrawing from NATO and going to war with Venuzuela - all reflections of the Yalta 2.0 program between Putin, Xi, and Trump.

As always, follow the money. If you don't know who's funding an organization, you don't know who has influence in it.

Naked racism. We don't do apartheid in the US.

Like many of us on Thanksgiving, he's uncomfortably stuffed.

So is he responsible when fires, floods and hurricanes hit the US?

Time is running out for the DOJ to reply to the bill Trump signed onto law.

There's no help for willful ignorance.

The next administration, which can't come soon enough, should put Senator Warren in charge of consumer protection. She set up the CPFB, which Trump has gutted to please his corporate donors.

A legendary beauty - a Greek statue come to life.

IF that's what he's worried about, why did he approve sales of NVIDIA chips to China - oh, yeah. A 25% cut on the sales.

Oh, good. That solves that problem.

Classic troll behavior.

It doesn't have to be this way, but as long as the 1% run the show, it will continue. They will keep stoking culture wars to distract the people from their control of the game.
