@libbyemmons I'd give the Dems in VT, NH, RI, and ME somewhat of a break - there are only 1 or 2 districts to distribute.
MA and CT have no excuse.

There are no GOP seats in New England because the elected Democrat leaders want total control.
David Burke 🇺🇸@ConservativeTht
Dear Democrats whining about Democracy: please explain to America how, out of 21 Congressional seats representing the 6 New England states, there are ZERO Republican Representatives, even though 40% of the electorate are registered Republicans, 48% in New Hampshire alone?

I asked Secretary Hegseth a straightforward, yes or no question today: Is Donald Trump mentally stable enough to be Commander in Chief?
He didn't say yes. And that speaks volumes.

@CBSNews Fun fact: The SCotUS didn't weaken the Voting Rights Act because the Voting Rights Act doesn't mention redistricting in Section 2 at all.
English
The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana's congressional map that includes two majority-Black districts, delivering a significant victory for Republicans in a major decision that narrows the landmark Voting Rights Act.
The high court upheld a lower court ruling that found Louisiana mapmakers relied too heavily on race when they redrew the state's voting boundaries to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. In a 6-3 decision authored by Justice Samuel Alito, the Supreme Court's conservative majority found that compliance with Section 2 could not justify the state's use of race in redrawing its House district lines. cbsnews.com/amp/news/supre…

From the link:
"ATF is removing two sentences from its three regulatory definitions of "machine gun" that previously incorporated bump stocks into those definitions. This action responds directly to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Garland v. Cargill (2024), which held that semiautomatic rifles equipped with bump stocks do not satisfy the statutory definition of "machine gun" under the National Firearms Act. This rescission aligns ATF's regulatory text with the statute and the Court's binding legal interpretation."
English
@gunpolicy Anybody have the specific language for #3?
I also don't see acknowledgement that Hughes does not prohibit post-1986 machineguns for trusts. We supposedly have a "friendly" administration and this should have happened on day one.
English
The ATF has posted summaries of the new regulations, which include:
1) Repeal Biden's pistol brace rule
2) Revising "engaged in the business" rule
3) Revising machine gun definition in response to Cargill decision
4) Remove requirement for FFLs to post info about Youth Handgun Safety Act
5) Revising 4473 form, including allowing electronic forms and increase the time NICS checks remain valid
6) Allow FFLs to keep electronic records
7) Replace indefinite retention of 4473s with definite time periods of 20 or 30 years
8) Allow “Non-Over-the-Counter” firearm sales by FFLs to residents of the same state
9) Repeal interstate NFA transport notice requirement for trips under 365 days, with all others no longer requiring approval before transport
10) Joint NFA registration for married couples
11) Remove NFA CLEO notification
12) Clarify that "common, reasonably necessary activities during travel" are covered by FOPA transportation protection
13) Allow import of dual-use frames, receivers, and barrels
14) Clarify that "training rounds" are not ammunition
15) Eliminate engraving requirement for people making NFA firearms out of existing serialized guns
16) "Clarify that a person receiving assistance in only one functional area (such as financial management) would not, on that basis alone, be considered prohibited" under mental health disqualifier
17) Requiring biological sex on ATF Forms
18) Clarify when a transaction is a straw purchase
19) Formally define "willfully" for firearms violations
20) "Remove the list of former Soviet countries from which ATF currently denies applications to permanently import most firearms and ammunition, retaining only the Russian Federation"

@GaryleeGray @gunpolicy That only happens when Congress amends the NFA or a court rules it unconstitutional.
ATF can't do most of your wish list without a court or Congress.

@gunpolicy I’m still waiting for them to remove suppressors from the NFA

@harryjsisson You’ll find that Democrat states have already gerrymandered away every Republican district they legally can, and did so years ago.
Which you would know if you were more than the party’s little power bottom.
English
If Republican states in the South start to eliminate Democrat districts and dilute minority voting power, then blue states across the country need to eliminate every single Republican district they can. Fight fire with fire!

@Chiller19671 @KeenanPeachy Buying distribution rights is a sunk cost.
Maybe they bought it sight unseen, maybe they were just too dumb to see the pro-communist reimagining of the story.
But they sunk money into it, and now they've got to get that money back.

@Gilbert__Gumbo @KeenanPeachy My understanding is they had no sunk cost. They didn't produce or finance the movie they just bought the rights to distribute the movie.

@MatteoMedia @AlexanderSoros @BenjaminPDixon @Heritage Nothing worse than a free black who escaped the Democratic party plantation, right?

The Supreme Court just made it easier to draw minority voters out of power. That's what today's ruling does.
Kagan said Section 2 is now "all but a dead letter." She's right.
States can gerrymander by race as long as they call it partisanship, and the Court handed them the playbook to do so.

NEWS: In a major 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court has struck down Louisiana’s congressional map that added a second majority-Black district, ruling it unconstitutional as a racial gerrymander. The opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, narrows how the Voting Rights Act is interpreted moving forward. Justice Elena Kagan, in a sharp dissent joined by the Court’s other liberal justices, warned that the ruling weakens protections against racial discrimination in voting—arguing it allows states to dilute minority voting power “without legal consequence.” She described the decision as part of a broader trend that has steadily eroded key provisions of the Voting Rights Act since 2013. While the Court did not overturn the law entirely, the ruling could have significant consequences. Louisiana is now likely to lose a Democratic-leaning district, and other states may revisit their own maps amid ongoing redistricting battles.
