Ron DeSantis would have had the Francis Scott Key bridge back up in six months. You get what you vote for, folks.

Disgraceful- the container ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore more than 2 years ago and still not repaired

The SPLC literally opened up bank accounts in the name of fake photography businesses to pay people in hate groups -- it is absolute textbook financial fraud. The media attempts to make the case seem doubtful are pretty desperate.

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline.
FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal.
Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

so you're telling me spirit airlines was in trouble, knew they had to do something, and attempted to participate in the free market by allowing jetblue to acquire them.
the government then stepped in and said, “no, you’re not allowed to participate in the free market, " denying the acquisition.
so then spirit, knowing that they were about to fail, seeks a government bailout, only to be told, "no, you must participate in the free market” to which they were denied participation in.
this doesn’t seem like free market capitalism to me.

So Lina Khan blocked the merger with Jet Blue because she said the loss of an airline would hurt consumers.
The end result: not only the loss of an airline but mass unemployment.
A socialism story.

@showusyourwork Would unironically be able to use this exact meme in his campaign because he doesnt give af about it & finds it funny unlike 99% of other politicians including trump

There's only one way to actually make a "gerrymandering ban" work, and that's to get rid of districts. It's very simple: multimember statewide Congressional representation. You can do this with ranked choice, party lists, etc. Ask a political scientist or voting expert about this
Micah Erfan@micah_erfan
Even without the VRA, Democrats could still come out ahead in the redistricting wars. However, this is a race to hell. We need a nationwide gerrymandering ban.

@showusyourwork Vance is a strong enough candidate to beat out newsome,aoc,whitmer,hochul there are no dem candidates that are "normal" that the party would back
English
@Julio52K I agree with this somewhat, but I think the Republican coalition is more fragile than the Democratic one, and the Democratic establishment can Starmer their way into another one-term presidency by standing still, which is all they've been wanting to do forever
English
@showusyourwork Putting way to much stock in trump man, if dems dont have any type of major change before the next election any type of "moderate" is voting for Vance dude is the rights Obama rn except hes getting to show his beliefs as a VP instead of being a senator prior to president
English
@Julio52K We'd have a few elections for people to try and exploit it before the two-party system implodes. But that could always happen when Trump dies, anyway

@dharh @Eric_Schmitt yet u have faith in a group of people who wouldnt stand to honor the mother of a child who was murdered or the governor who put out a statement saying he worked WITH the feds n a fraud case while the city it happened n put out a statement saying they didnt definitely trust them

@Julio52K @Eric_Schmitt I no longer have faith Republicans are good faith people. To be clear I am mostly talking about the politicians. Decades of this shit have wittled me down.

Louisiana v. Callais is a redistricting earthquake:
• Each district drawn that used race is now unconstitutional.
• Section 2 can be used to challenge majority-minority districts.
• Disparate impact theory is unconstitutional.
Let's break it down. 🧵

Eric Schmitt@Eric_Schmitt
A Huge win today. The Left’s redistricting racket just took a major hit. The Supreme Court held: The VRA cannot be twisted into a mandate for racial gerrymandering and permanent Democrat district engineering. America is a nation of citizens, not census tracts sorted by race.
English
@dharh @Eric_Schmitt Ahh yes refuse to show any signs of good faith despite having the most gerrymandered areas in the US
English
@Julio52K @Eric_Schmitt LOL. Republicans would just stab us in the back, I've seen it too many times in my lifetime. Pass a law, put it before the Supreme Court, then we can de-escelate.
English
@Julio52K @Eric_Schmitt BAN gerrymandering altogether like Democrats have put forth bills to do.
English
@dharh @Eric_Schmitt Wow you mean the se would eventually just reflect the NE in their denial of representation of a singular party wow who could've predicted that

You are full of shit. Louisiana ~38% voted for the Democratic Party in 2024 and would get Zero seats?
Mississippi ~37% and would get Zero seats? Tennessee 34% Zero seats? Alabama 34% Zero seats? Florida 43% Five seats? North Carolina 47% 3 seats? South Carolina 40% Zero seats? Georgia 48% 5 seats?
Heavily Republican South my ass. It's was artificially Republican represented already, which the VRA had a _minor_ corrective impact on. Now whole swaths of people will have zero representation. Undemocratic and should be unconstitutional. You make me sick.

@bywornex @gcfascist @DemzDeliver Yes PLEASE go ahead and get rid of the 3 seats that will further splinter her own base you absolute twat

🚨HUGE: New York Gov. Hochul pledges to redistrict in response to right-wing gerrymandering.

@DemzDeliver You mean shes going to eliminate 3 seats because the entire state of NY is about as tapped out gerrymandering wise as you can get without putting her own districts up for grabs
