@PolitiBunny You think people are not reporting....homicides?
English
That’s what happens when you stop reporting crime.
Democrats Deliver@DemzDeliver
🚨 New York’s homicide rate is now down to 2.7 per 100,000. 44.9% lower than Florida.

@davidslosttt The point of the gerrymander is not to protect Democrats in a R+ 9.5 year, It's to ensure that Democrats control the house in a Dem +5 year. The result of Virginia in a R+9.5 year is irrelevant.

@NotJustinLaw @BCatturd @TheLaurenChen They made 5 "competitive" districts all with very odd representation that include parts of the suburbs/urban areas of democratic strongholds. If republicans were in control they'd easily make 4 red districts out of this by focusing on these circled areas. That's whats going on.
English
Most people have no idea how much Democrats have screwed over Republicans with their gerrymandered districts
On the left are the results from New Jersey's 2025 gubernatorial election by precinct
On the right are the same results by congressional district
How is this allowed?

@BCatturd @TheLaurenChen Not even close to being the point of contention. The issue being shown in NJ is clearly the fact that they didn't make a red district in the north and have every district with their tail ends into NYC. That's how they gerrymandered it, it's not rocket science.

@shipwreckedcrew Everyone has heard the evidence. The evidence is a photograph. There has been no secret phone calls where Comey calls the president and says he's going to kill him.
English
That's why we have juries.
12 people who sit in the courtroom and hear the evidence, then THEY DECIDE BASED ON THE EVIDENCE if such a belief was reasonable.
Have you heard the evidence?
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@ReichlinMelnick
The idea that any reasonable person would view seashells spelling out “86 47” to be a true threat by Comey that he was going to kill the president is so laughable that anyone who genuinely believes that has either pickled their brain online or was dropped on the head as a baby.

@Neuroshrink4U @bscholl "no way to solve this problem, says only Western country where problem exists"
English
@bscholl You can't end gerrymandering--you can appoint an independent commission of leftist academics to give you a blue map, or politicians to generate a red map, but there is no truly independent model.
English
Unpopular opinion: SCOTUS whiffed hard when they had the opportunity to blow up gerrymandering and didn't.
Gerrymandering is one of the worst practices in American politics— D/R safe districts turn the primaries into the generals, rewarding extremism over centrism.

The utter incoherence of Callais is captured in this paragraph (pg. 36). Under Callais, plaintiffs have to show you could draw a Black-majority district that would elect Julia Letlow, a white Republican. That defeats the purpose of the claim, which is to end vote dilution.
English
Yeah, why hasn't Congress passed a voting rights act?
Jonathan H. Adler@jadler1969
Sounds like a call for Congress to do its job

@The_Dug_0ut @maya_sen "I have created the whites only party and we discriminate on the basis of politics, not race"
English
@maya_sen Doing everything they can to take advantage of the fact that the three liberal justices won't just call the Republican party a white supremacist party lol
English
@Buzzsaws1990 "hot take, the Nazis will get 50% of the Jewish vote in 50 years"
English
A consequence of the Supreme court redistricting case is that blacks running as Republicans is going to be a viable option in many more places.
Hot take:
In 50 years, the black vote will be far more evenly split between the parties.
English
Casey thinks what's going to happen now is more moderate districts lmao
Casey Mattox@CaseyMattox_
I believe it will be good for politicians on both the left and right - and for our country - to have more racially mixed districts to whom they need to appeal.
English
An ex president has three choices
1. Retire from the public stage
2. Speak only in unifying terms
3. Stay engaged as a partisan, with the dishonesty or selective truth that demands
It's a tremendous shame that President Obama has chosen the last path.
Barack Obama@BarackObama
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Who needs to make a case to the electorate when you can take away democratic choice? 🫠

@kerrc17 This is a 4-3-3 with everyone moved around.
Also, Tessman is the CB you've been looking for.

It's becoming more and more clear who our best XI is.
- Trusty vs McKenzie can be up for debate. For me, I want a left footer on the left side.
- Same convo if you want to start McKenzie instead of Freeman.
- Johnny has always had the tools but turned the corner last window

@SeanTrende @adub01488424 But I thought you had argued in other cases that things like “intent of aiding a party” and “unduly favoring one party” can’t be quantified?
English
The irony of all this is that if Texas had waited, the three judge panel in the LULAC lawsuit might have ruled against its 2022 map and it could have drawn this with a pretty clear justification for doing so.
English
@tsarlet2 What on earth are you talking about? Everybody understands that Illinois is currently gerrymandered and would be unraveled by a national ban.
English
"Democrats remain willing to prohibit gerrymandering nationally" and then they'll draw the craziest snake district you've ever seen because Latinos having their own ethnic enclave doesn't count as "gerrymandering" to them
Josh Barro@jbarro
The whining from Republicans here is just preposterous. Democrats remain willing to prohibit gerrymandering nationally. Republicans thought they were better off fighting this battle state-by-state and are sore that that wasn't true.
English
"there's no way to prevent partisan gerrymandering" says the conservative party in the only Western democracy that allows partisan gerrymandering.
English
There is no way to "end partisan gerrymandering." You might make it a little less extreme. But "nonpartisan" commissions, etc. don't work because the incentives still demand partisan gerrymandering and people are human.
Gerrymandering of the kind we're seeing is a symptom of the problem of unconstitutionally empowering the federal government.
If you want to actually FIX this, you make Congress live with Article I, Section 8 - including a limited understanding of its commerce power and the necessary and proper clause.
And you also stop Congress from sucking power into the federal vortex only to delegate it to unaccountable executive branch agencies.
The moves from red and blue states to squeeze out more representation in Congress reveals a deeper sickness. Monkeying around with district lines to squeeze out a seat or two isn't going to cut it.
In a constitutional world where Virginia, Alabama and California can all make many more of the decisions affecting their citizens' lives, the focus is there instead of how to draw maps to get another Congressman or 2 to vote your way on the limited powers enumerated to Congress.
IOW, Overturn Wickard. Among others.
