And the bill did not pass! Louisiana is not losing 2 congressional districts.

🚨 HUGE: Gov. Spanberger signs bill capping insulin costs at $35 per month in Virginia.
We really shouldn’t have cut down all the giant old growth trees. What a loss.
More than three million Virginians cast their ballots in Virginia’s redistricting referendum, and the majority of Virginia voters voted to push back against a President who said he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress with a temporary and responsive referendum. They made their voices heard. I am disappointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling, but my focus as Governor will be on ensuring that all voters have the information necessary to make their voices heard this November in the midterm elections because in those elections we — the voters — will have the final say.
Democratic speaker of the Virginia House: “We respect the decision of the Supreme Court of Virginia."
Billie Eilish responds to criticism for saying in recent interview that “eating meat is inherently wrong” and if you eat meat you can’t love animals: “stay f*cking mad at ME i really don’t give a goddamn f*ck […] go watch a documentary or two and some footage of what is done to the animals u claim to love and what it does to the planet u pretend to love as well. if that footage was hard for u to watch i encourage u to pls take a look at urself. like i am so tired of standing up for/having empathy for living beings being controversial. pls continue to live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance and denial and try to convince urself that ur not living a lie. mwah 💋”
Dave Chappelle says the media gets his trans jokes “wrong,” urging audiences to account for a “margin of error” when watching his sets: “People would think it’s me vs. the gay community. I never looked at it like that,” Chappelle said. “I always thought it was corporate interest and culture negotiating itself. So, you know, most of those people who were critical of what I was doing didn’t seem like they were of it. It’s like they had their faces pressed against the glass, commenting on what we were doing in there, but they weren’t in there doing it.” “Every opinion you can think of is represented in a comedy club. Every type of person you can imagine does stand-up comedy—transgender stand-up comics, Black, white, Asian, every kind of perspective. And we all champion whatever opinion we champion. We would never think to silence one another.” “Nothing makes a comedian madder than reading his joke wrong in the paper,” Chappelle added. “You know, and reading a joke is nothing like hearing one or being one, and the intention of a comedy show is a very unique intention. We are playing with whatever the culture is made of, and we break it down and we get it right or we get it wrong. But in all art, if it’s going to be good or even hopefully great, you gotta have a margin of error.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/d…
