- Florida passed gerrymandering, which could net them up to 4 seats in the House

- The Supreme Court gutted the VRA, causing Louisiana to suspend their primaries in order to get rid of their majority-black voting districts

- Markets remain at ATHs despite everything happening in the Middle East

- Warsh is on track to be confirmed as President of the Fed

- Trump may get congressional authorization to build his ballroom (and have it paid for by the public)

- Comey indicted

- Congress is advancing legislation to finally get ICE re-funded

- Tomorrow is the deadline for Trump to seek congressional authority for the Iran War under the WPA...which he will completely ignore and leave him without any guardrails on prosecuting the conflict

Woot woot!

Didn't Republicans cheer that supreme court ruling when it was created, while Dems were the ones up in arms about being forced to consider minorities when making districting maps?

Today's Republicans are the Dems of the 1950s in most ways.

"Tomorrow is the deadline for Trump to seek congressional authority for the Iran War under the WPA"

Nope. There is no deadline in sight.

"Today's Republicans are the Dems of the 1950s in most ways."

They literally flipped sides.

Yes, and today's Democrats are the liberal Republicans of the 1960s.

That's not a positive comparison. Democrats are still stuck in the 1960s in terms of how they see racism in the US. They acknowledge none of the progress made over the last 80 years and would have us believe that things are worse today than they were in the Jim Crow South.

Bonkers.
