Running for office on fairy glitter and gossamer dreams is easy, as it turns out actually governing on them is impossible. It’s a lesson a worryingly large chunk of the American electorate refuses to learn.
John Arnold@johnarnold

Deferring pension contributions is the Pandora's box of municipal finance, where a seemingly harmless action unleashes a legacy of complications. Once that seal is broken, NYC will start the descent into the same liability-fueled spiral that has hollowed out so many other cities.

"Food deserts" are an example of social scientists getting causality backwards They saw poor people eating unhealthy foods and blamed local supply They should have blamed demand! Using data from 13 years of supermarket entries, there's basically no effects on healthy eating🧵

In case anyone was wondering why Democrat Rep Dave Min is scootering to work and not driving his car…. It’s because he was arrested for drunk driving and was sentenced to three years probation
Cassie Semyon@casssemyon

It’s hard to miss @CongressMin on Capitol Hill — he’s the one riding the electric scooter. Now’s he’s turning his love for the speedy method of transportation into bipartisan legislation to create federal standards for e-bikes and other micro-mobility methods. @SpectrumNewsDC @SpecNews1SoCal

I didn’t like USAID. But watching people gleefully mock a woman for having to start over at ~60 is bleak. You can disagree with someone’s politics without losing basic empathy. The internet has broken a lot of brains.

"Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior VP at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store in Falls Church, Va." nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/…

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States. Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

There was no national ban on gerrymandering for Republicans to ban. There was a provision, in a much larger radical bill, that some Dems called a national ban on gerrymandering. Journalists, however, shouldn't repeat dishonest partisan messaging
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

It is EXTREMELY bad that Republicans repeatedly blocked a national ban on gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is bad, and Republicans are profoundly blameworthy for its continued existence.

Arguendo: Lets say Texas DID start it. Texas did it legally. It did its redistricting within the bounds of Texas law and constitution. You might disagree with the results (and thats fine, a good argument to have) but the bigger issue is Virginia did NONE of these things.
The🐰FOO@PolitiBunny

You guys remember Obama’s Organizing for America org, yeah? They’d buy/take over dead accounts and pretend to be real supporters when in reality it was ‘digital organizing.’ In other words, bots and trolls. The number of low-follower accounts screaming that Texas started the gerrymandering wars feels very OFA. And we all know Obama and his wingman Eric Holder are involved. Just sayin’.

"We should only deport the criminal illegal aliens" Agreed! Entering the country without legal authorization is a federal crime pursuant to 8 U.S. Code § 1325. So can we deport them, or do illegal aliens get a freebie federal crime?

Indeed, the “Texas started it” premise is incorrect (plus CA already answered). NY Dems went before TX (see below), to say nothing of the wild existing Dem gerrymanders in places like IL & MD. And to say nothing of admitted 2020 Census miscounts robbing red states of 6-10 seats.
Claudia Tenney@claudiatenney

.@AriFleischer please stop saying Texas started this redistricting mess. New York started it. After an extreme gerrymander by NY Dems in 2022, completely ignoring the Independent Commission they created in 2014, the Court of Appeals in NY restored fairness. Then, the Dems sued again in 2024 to overturn the Court of Appeals decision. They bullied 2 Court of Appeals judges off the bench and forced new Dem. favorable maps and the Reps lost 4 seats. In 2026 they AGAiN sued to gerrymander and eliminate the Rep seat in Staten Island and were looking for even more power. The US Supreme Court stopped the nonsense for now. The Dems plan to gerrymander again in 2028. They will stop at nothing and do not care about the people or fairness. This is a bloodsport. The Republicans need to wake up and recognize this fact. Sign the Save America Act into law for starters. And do whatever it takes within the law to ensure that the citizens of this country win.

Democracy is when 51% vote to strip away political representation from the 49%, keeping the latter in a perpetual state of servitude to the former with no power to change it. Which is why the distinction between democracy and republic is not merely pedantic.
