@TB_Times There’s a good chance Florida’s redistricting gets thrown out just like Virginia’s, probably before Wednesday. Then it depends on appellate courts. First DCA could stay and stall any injunction but probably would fast track it to FSSC.

Welcome to the new District 16, one sprawling puzzle piece of Florida’s new congressional map. It’s expected to give Republicans an electoral advantage. To explore the reworked district’s competing priorities & lifestyles, the Times drove a slice of the new District 16 this month. Read more here: tampabay.com/news/florida-p…

@ReichlinMelnick Nobody gives a shit who paid for it, it’s a question of whether a policy allows thousands of migrants to fly here and stay indefinitely. Most unnecessarily long and missing the point thread in history.

I still see people claiming that Biden flew migrants into the United States. That did NOT happen. No such program existed. The closest thing was the parole programs which allowed some Ukrainians, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to come here legally for two years.

This is a collection of urban legends. - The only "flying" was done by Ron DeSantis; the biggest bussing operation was from Greg Abbott. - The "phone" was SmartLINK, a monitoring device that had no normal phone functions. - Nearly all migrants were ineligible for welfare.

Caitlin Jensen, 28, walked into a Georgia chiropractor in June 2022. She came out with four dissected arteries, a stroke, cardiac arrest, and a traumatic brain injury. It took her nine months to say "Mom" again. She had come in for lower back pain. Your brain runs on four arteries. Two carotids in front, two vertebrals in back. The vertebrals don't run free. They thread up through narrow bone tunnels inside each cervical vertebra, C6 to C1, then loop around the top vertebra in a tight horizontal curve called the V3 segment. When a chiropractor performs a high-velocity rotational thrust on the upper neck, V3 gets stretched and snapped against bone. The inner artery wall tears. Blood seeps between the layers. A flap forms. Flow blocks, or clots break off and travel to the brainstem. In Caitlin's case all four vessels tore. Paramedics worked 12 minutes restoring her pulse. Surgeons placed a stent in one artery and repaired what they could in the rest. The brain injury came from the bleed that followed the stroke that followed the dissection. One in 20,000 spinal manipulations triggers this. Arterial dissection causes 2% of strokes overall but 8 to 25% of strokes in patients under 45. In 55% of cases symptoms start within 12 hours of the adjustment. No screening test identifies who's at risk beforehand. The American Chiropractic Association's own spokesman told the New York Times patients should get vascular scans before neck manipulation. Almost none do. Informed consent matching a surgical risk disclosure isn't standard. The average victim is 40. Caitlin's back pain lived four vertebrae below the artery the thrust tore.

In Opinion After the Virginia Supreme Court overturned the results of a state redistricting vote, “the correct response is to fight back in the name of the people,” Jamelle Bouie writes. “Democrats must meet the moment. Or move over for people who will.” nyti.ms/48N1xD0

JVL gives Platner somewhere between a 5 and 33% chance of being the Dem nominee in 2028. And I don't think that's crazy at all. Floated similar on a pod last fall. Before you scoff - read the case! thebulwark.com/p/platner-2028

@TB_Times Why are your headline writers/Twitter-posting interns so incompetent? And you’d ban this as a comment. Nice work.

These neocon lunatics think taking down the Iranian regime is worth risking the Strait of Hormuz being closed for EIGHT MONTHS!! Meanwhile, gas prices go up exponentially, entire economies in Asia collapse, and fertilizer shortages lead to famine.
Mark Dubowitz@mdubowitz

“Last night, a very senior Israeli intelligence source estimated to me that if the status quo blockade remains, the Islamic Republic “will not survive 2026.” Predicting the complete collapse of a half-century-old theocracy within the next eight months sounds like a bold gamble—until you look at the math.” And the math looks very bad for the regime in Iran.

A big reason the US stumbled into this dumb war with Iran was the poor state of Iran analysis in DC. Too much of the field has been shaped by hawkish Israel lobby networks that reward threat inflation & conflict over actually understanding Iran. That pipeline needs to change.

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸
Sen. DURBIN: 3,603. That’s how many licensed attorneys are in Montana. Couldn’t the White House find one who actually tried a case? Katie Lane isn’t remotely qualified. That’s not my opinion alone—she’s the first Trump 2.0 judicial nominee to receive a Not Qualified ABA rating.
