I found out about it from people posting here this morning, using his first name so my first thought was about Grayson Allen. Rodriguez didn't even cross my mind.

But seems like the overall response is disappointment that his career came to this but it's likely an OK move. Not much post fodder

Duke looks sloppy, Kansas looks panicky, UNC gave up something like a 15-0 run late to Navy. College basketball is no fun tonight

Feels like a lot of room in that space since the ADL has vacated it entirely

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

There are no districts in NC greater than R +10.

In a big wave election, the Republicans could lose the entire state.

If this wave were to persist into next year, the Republicans could dummymander a *lot* of seats.

The PVIs of the *current* map in NC of R held seats are R+ 5 7 8 8 8 9 9 9 10 10

In a Dem wave year maybe they wouldn't win all or many but they'd be very close and require a lot of resources to defend

Surely you realize that a pinky promise from Trump and the GOP Congress means absolutely nothing?

Today, I’m announcing the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission.

I’ve been clear from Day One: If other states are determining whether or not they have fair maps, so will Maryland.
