Florida has a surprisingly clear constitutional amendment, passed in 2010 by 62.9% of voters, that prohibits redistricting with the intent to favor or disfavor incumbents or political parties It’s hard to get around that —absent novel rulings from SCOTUS of FL supremes
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn

To my eye, Dems have definitively taken the lead in the mid-decade redistricting battle for this cycle. 🔵 Ds will likely gain 8-10 seats 🔴 Rs will likely gain 4-8 seats And it seems like an awfully big risk for FL to further redraw its map given the swings we’re seeing in special elections.

Ultimately, it’s difficult to argue that redistricting is fine ‘here,’ but not ‘there.’

I’m a UCLA alum, and in my experience, usually it’s only the Athletic Department that’s this obtuse. =>

INSANE: The undergraduate student government at @UCLA CONDEMNED an event featuring freed hostage Omer Shem Tov, saying the event reflects a "troubling disregard for Palestinian life." REMINDER: Omer Shem Tov is an Israeli civilian who was kidnapped by terrorists from a music festival during the violent Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023. Talk about "atrocities" and "a troubling disregard for life." @LeoTerrellDOJ @UofCalifornia @EDSecMcMahon @usedgov @EdWorkforceCmte @EdWorkforceDems

@DavidMDrucker @KamalaHarris That’s why I told Cornell Belcher you are incompetent in politics. Kamala lost b/c they didn’t want an Indian or a real Black American woman in exchange due to racism. I voted thinking they aren’t stupid enough to vote to lose ACA, homes, cars, like I envisioned them losing.

Harris lost for a number of reasons. Those reasons contributed to her only winning indies by a narrow margin. Generally speaking, I don't think voters look at it like "learning a lesson." I think they look at their choices and vote accordingly. In midterms, those votes tend to be either to rebuke POTUS or bolster his leadership, vs the sort of choice made in a presidential election.

@DavidMDrucker Since I got a like by you, do you sincerely think @KamalaHarris lost because she didn’t win over 2% Independents [lol] when Black Americans who voted, voted @ 90%. Lots of Black Americans felt they should let White/Hispanics/Asians/etc., learn their voting lesson. Did they learn?

Fact-based, rigorous economic analysis remains a top institutional priority, particularly in a moment in which partisans of all stripes seem to be sprinting away from first principles that lift hundreds of millions out of poverty and unlock unprecedented economic growth and quality-of-life increases over the course of American history. Enter Dispatch Markets. We’ve assembled a roster of some of the brightest economic writers and thinkers in the country, and are thrilled to be offering their analysis as a part of The Dispatch bundle. - @scottlincicome - @asymmetricinfo - Karl Smith - @kylascan - @Marian_L_Tupy Expect topics to range from how the Trump administration’s tariffs are rippling through the economy to the challenges facing the Federal Reserve to AI and the future of work. We’ll send the first few editions of Dispatch Markets widely—we’re grateful that it’s unlocked in partnership with the @USChamber

IT'S OV-AH! Viktor Orban and his Fidesz party will lose power in today's Hungarian election. The only question now is whether Peter Magyar's Tisza Party will get the 133 seats it needs to change the constitution. I'd bet it will, but it might be close.

Here's a semi-brief overview of the Hungarian party and election system. Hungary has a 199-seat unicameral parliament. 106 members are selected in single-member districts as in the UK, US, and Canada - most votes wins. 1/x

PELOSI weighs in, says she has advised Swalwell to drop his bid for governor “The young woman who has made serious allegations against Congressman Swalwell must be respected and heard. This extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability. As I discussed with Congressman Swalwell, it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign.”
