If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
