@scotus_wire I’m confused, how did obama get to appoint a judge in Utah? What happened to the blue slips?
English
The following three-judge panel has been convened to hear this lawsuit:
Judge Duncan (Trump - 5th Circuit)
Chief Judge Dick (Obama - MDLA)
Judge Guidry (Trump - EDLA)
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire
🚨 Louisiana voters and a congressional candidate have sued to block the state’s suspension of U.S. House primaries, arguing officials cannot cancel part of an election after voting has already begun and absentee ballots have been cast.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey Today... Basically... Damn The Torpedos, Full Steam Ahead. dailycaller.com/2026/05/01/ala…

@CarolineWren All georgia did in 2023 was make mcbeth’s seat into a black district.
English
@EWErickson @616NYY Kemps better off doing it after November before he leaves office
English
I realize no one cares about facts when they just want to attack others, but Louisiana has not started early voting. Georgia started early voting last week. The Supreme Court case of Purcell v Gonzales prohibits Georgia from suspending its election now that voting has started.

Tale of 3 GOP Govs: Gov Landry (LA): Immediately calls special session & suspends May 16 primary Gov Reeves (MS): Immediately calls special session despite their primary already happened in March Gov Kemp (GA): Sry can’t do anything bc our primary is May 16 (same day as LA)
English
@FaustAndTrue @earlyvotedata Yes but they asked scotus to expedite the case since the vra case happened
English
Let's hope so, they can at least push back their primary to allow for it.
But great news from Alabama if this actually happens!
CJ Pearson@Cjpearson
NEWS: Well-placed sources in Alabama politics tell me that after a successful lobbying campaign by @AGSteveMarshall, @KGRob27, and Secretary of State Wes Allen, that Governor Kay Ivey WILL indeed call a special session to redraw congressional maps. This is HUGE news.
English
@CarolineWren @Twopointoh14 @GovMikeKehoe @GovBillLee @henrymcmaster Missouri is already having a hard time with 7-1 map w all the challenges. Alabama is stuck. Georgia don’t have enough time
English
After the Supreme Courts historic VRA decision, these states could immediately call special sessions to redistrict. And what are their GOP Governors doing?
@GovMikeKehoe (MO): celebrating beef month
@GovBillLee (TN): touring Edgar Evans state park
@henrymcmaster (SC): celebrating Stem Signing Day
@GovernorKayIvey (AL): meeting with ALEA leaders
@GovKemp (GA): celebrating Small Business Week
🤦♀️

@JudiciaryDems The map on the right looks beautiful
English
This is what the Supreme Court conservative supermajority just enabled.
English
@scott_kernen Yes but that order can change if this comes up
English
@Mckinleystan25 It’s a court order binding them from acting until 2030 though
English
If any significant changes happen following today’s decision, it’s likely gradual and might not be a factor until a time period with a different presidential administration, congress, etc
Alex Angle@alexangle_
Gov. Kay Ivey declines to call special session for redistricting in light of Alabama’s appeal to SCOTUS on its map. #ALPolitics “While we are not in position to have a special session at this time, I hope in light of this new decision, the court is favorable to Alabama.”
English
@AustinHoney30 I mean considering California is one of the most expensive states this shouldnt be an issue. If we want a popular vote system. We cant wait on California to take a month in the event its that close.

@BRICSinfo Iran admitted to having only 2 months of oil remaining
English
JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran shows no signs of collapse despite US President Trump's claims, CBS reports.
English
2 months is not that much better. Before japan attacked pearl harbor it was estimated japan had 2 years of oil remaining.
Open Source Intel@Osint613
IRGC linked Media Tasnim: “Iran can continue oil production and storage for up to 2 months”

@AdamJaksa Heldman is very underrated has the workhorse in him. He can definitely be a steal
English
Michael Heldman is off to the Saints, Jordan Kwiatkowski to the Patriots.
Here’s these two working together this past fall for a defensive TD!
Heldman the hit ➡️ JK the TD.
Two hard-working guys that now get their chance in the NFL!

@wiay204 Historically she had closer calls in red wave years
English
@AustinHoney30 OH i think landsman holds but kaptur could be in trouble. Moreno even won that district
English
So CA and TX offset, VA and FL offset, UT and NC offset, OH relies on Kaptur and Landsman losing… Is MO the only real gain during the redistricting wars? Still pending court rulings on the amendment veto
English
@AustinHoney30 The redistricting wars will end up being a draw this year. 2027-2029 will be interesting ab it

@joeyhannum Joey must hate the snowbirds we have in Michigan.

LOL - Mike Rogers is posting photos from a week ago to pretend he's in Michigan, even though he's actually in his home state of *FLORIDA* today 🏝️
Mike Rogers@MikeRogersForMI
Made a pit stop to see our friends at Circle K in Midland. All across the state, Michiganders tell me the same thing: they’re ready for a Senator who understands the realities we face each day. That’s why I’m focused on affordability, jobs, and delivering real results.

Let me explain what just happened in Virginia.
Yesterday, 2.5 million Virginians voted. They passed a redistricting amendment 50.7% to 49.3%.
Today, one judge threw out every single vote. 🧵
English
@QuantusInsights Gop not putting the effort is why it passed
English
Based on projected finishes from several outlets, the Virginia Redistricting Referendum now appears to be tracking closely with recent polling. If current estimates hold, the final margin will likely land near where most late polls had it.

🚨New: Bill Nye is planning to lead a large protest in DC next week against the proposed NASA budget cuts.
The plan includes a 47% reduction in science funding and a 23% overall cut.
