@electionsjoe from congress dot gov. i can't find the list of states that don't have this requirement but i imagine it's the usual suspects
English
What the fuck do you mean district contiguity isn't part of federal law?
matt mohn@mattmxhn
remember: there is no need for D states to do pizzamanders as long as they get over the mental hurdle of contiguity (which is not part of federal law) - you can draw a very compact IL 17-0 map and add new seats to the Chicago area by giving them satellites downstate

There are 2 reasons for Rubio to run as Vance's VP.
1. To set up his own later run. Iffy, at best.
2. To act as the janitor, restraining Vance's worst ideas, the same way he does for Trump. But Vance is not Trump, he's more ideologically consistent and committed. Won't work.
News Now@NewsNowUS
News - Trump has privately floated the idea of JD Vance and Marco Rubio running together on the 2028 GOP ticket.

@Zigmanfreud It's amazing how hard LSU has worked to bring together the most insufferable coaching staff in D1 athletics across sports

Breaking: In a shocking development, whatever team is playing LSU (who I used to like) has now somehow surpassed whatever team is playing Penn State as my primary rooting interest in college football!

VANITY FAIR@VanityFair
In explaining his decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU, Lane Kiffin seems willing to invoke Ole Miss's struggle to distance itself from symbols like the Confederate flag, Colonel Rebel, and the nickname "Ole Miss" itself. When he was coaching there, Kiffin says, top recruits would tell him, “‘Hey, coach, we really like you. But my grandparents aren’t letting me move to Oxford, Mississippi.’ That doesn’t come up when you say Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Parents were sitting here this weekend saying the campus’s diversity feels so great: ‘It feels like there’s no segregation’” vanityfair.com/news/story/lan…

This heavy handed edit to make Aubry appear like some mastermind is driving me insane. This week’s episode might be the season finale I fear #Survivor50

Aubry: "I think Jonathan feels like the Ozzy vote was all his doing... on Kaoh Rong.. I lost bc I was sitting next to the wrong ppl. This time, I'm ruthlessly focused on 1 thing, getting rid of every threat in this game... it's go time now.” #Survivor50 Ep 12 Sneak Peek 1

@MurrayHillGuy1 I tried that. Called & said I was going to cancel if they wouldn't match my rate. They said ok. Nothing they could do. So once I lined up service with another company I called back to finish cancelling and they are if I would stay if they matched the old price
English
Kinda respect what just happened
My internet bill tripled this month because some 5 year promo ended
I called asking if they could bring it back, they said no
So I hit them with the “alright then I’ll just cancel”
Lady immediately goes “sounds good, let’s get that cancelled for you right now”
Completely called my bluff, and I went into pussy mode.
folded instantly and will now be staying a Spectrum customer

@_nomadic_soul I just can't imagine buying 67 items of anything for $317 and not being able to get past a week

I’m honestly so confused, what are you buying?? I could make that last two weeks for four people!
Lia the Trader 👸💸@Liathetrader
Groceries for 2 people. Will last us maybe 5 days. I don’t know how people do it. This country is becoming unbearably expensive. 2k monthly groceries Not counting if you want to go to a restaurant once a week, add another 1k.

@BasicallyIDoWrk I'm with you. The point of a yard sale is to get rid of things that aren't worth the effort to sell individually. "I know what I have" is for marketplace

I have discovered that there’s an entire group of people that don’t know the point of a garage sale.

Went to a garage sale. They had Pokemon cards and bro had tcgplayer pulled up. I’m done.

The RBG cult is too psychologically interesting, I waste three minutes thinking about it whenever the topic comes up.
What’s the most popular message on RBG merch? Typically it’s “I dissent.” The stans aren’t venerating her opinion in United States vs. Virginia or Evenwel v. Abbott. She’s the icon of being smart and right while losing. This has transferred over to KBJ fandom; she never wins, but look at her epic roast in this dissent.
It’s a cult of never holding power but being smug that the people holding power are wrong and maybe the biopic in 20 years will say so.

This is incorrect (she had had cancer twice)

2024 a Big 12 team went 10-2 with this resume:
- Road win vs CFP team
- 3 wins vs 8+ win teams
- loss to 5-7 team by 4
- loss to CFP team
They finished ranked 18th.
2025 Bama went 10-2 with this resume:
- Road win vs CFP team
- 3 wins vs 8+ win teams
- loss to 5-7 team by 14
- loss to CFP team
They finished ranked 9th and made the playoff.
Do you see the double standard?

The worst coaching hires of the last 15 years

@jorgeousjack It's really amazing she's the only 4 time player from the 30s (none from the 20s). You have to go back to Tocantins for the next 4timer's first season.
Really the iconic character for me from the time I got back into the show. Just can't root for her while Cirie has a shot 😂

i’m not even the biggest aubry fan but this edit is making me feel something, she really was that girl during the 30s

@murphsturph WRAL run a story on NC State challenge…
It’s laughable at this point — you’ve got the NC State QB on TikTok openly scamming people and yet we are getting Investigative Reports about parking tickets.
Brilliant stuff from WRAL Raleigh.

This is the best part! More games (we don't need) that take much longer to play! As I've been saying for a looooooong time, the people in charge don't like the sports they govern. They do, however, LOVE the money they generate.
Matt Norlander@MattNorlander
Am told by sources a big reason for this number is the NCAA expanding the amount of commercials allowed during NCAAT games in order to manufacture more revenue. The beer/liquor industry will be at the front of the line.
