Florida's next in the gerrymandering wars. Here I get into depth on what's at risk and how to stop them.

The best solution is independent citizen commissions, which Congress can pass - and should. This reform can level the playing field and restore competition. share.google/0KGm8yCidZaE...

If implemented nationwide, yes. Currently a tough lift. This would be a good experiment to try in a state legislature first.

Military commanders under Pete Hegseth have painted the current war in Iran as one rooted in Christian biblical prophecy, which calls for a final conflict - Armageddon.

Uniformed military, both Christian and non-Christian, have called for an investigation. I agree. samfornj.org

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Daylight savings time is stressful for the brain - every year, a transient risk of accidents and illness. We should consider doing away with it.

Put this neuroscientist in Congress and we’ll take it up.

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Third Way and other "moderate" Democratic groups and elites constantly bash progressive politicians and ideas. But moderate Democratic VOTERS really like raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, Medicare-for-all, and Bernie Sanders. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
