Agreed. There's a law of diminishing returns when it comes to gerrymandering - the more districts you try to control, the thinner your margins become.

Extrapolating from incomplete data, there exists an Ariana PequeΓ±a.
She is 5'10", can't sing a note, but is built like an NFL linebacker and can throw you into next week.
No disagreement there.

So, uh, they'd better hurry up and get them all out to the public.
God willing, there will be a legal reckoning for this on the scale of Nuremburg.
But I doubt it.
At this point, I'm starting to assume that Mike Johnson is also somewhere in these emails.

That's pretty much who he is at this point. Always looking for the good optics, but when the chips are down...
Ok, let me put my civics teacher cap on.
Last night was a cloture vote in order to bring H.R. 5371 to the floor for a full vote.
There's still one more vote to be made, to approve H.R. 5371.
While I'm not hopeful, you should be leaning on your senators as hard as you can right now.
Voting seems to have stalled out right now at 56-40. Is there a point where the clock runs out?

Use it. Respond to all their questions with it.
Either they will stop using it because you made it uncool, or you frustrated them to tears.
