Norton Says Little as Bills to Clamp Down on D.C. Advance

Rich @anniekarni.bsky.social read on Eleanor Holmes Norton's weakness at the DC oversight hearing.

Redistricting Push Creates Chaos for Incumbents in Both Parties

Redistricting Push Creates Chaos for Incumbents in Both Parties

“We are going to release righteous hellfire on them until the cheating scheme ends,” Jeffries tells me of redistricting.
