#ElectionTwitter Well gang, DRA has gone through some updates, so I'm making a new tutorial for it. Hopefully this will help new users and returning users that want to learn some more. For new users, this is one of the homepage screens you could get (thread)

#ElectionTwitter Alright gang its map tutorial time. Whether you've used Dave's Redistricting Atlas (DRA) before and want to see more of what it has to offer, or are new and want to see how it works, I'm here to help out. Here's the homepage you'll see when you go to the site

The new OH-15 is an interesting configuration of the Columbus area, surrounding communities, and arms that stretch to rural turf near Dayton and Cincinnati. Trump won it by 10 points, only losing the Franklin County portion of the seat to Harris #ElectionTwitter

The 2016-2018 version of NC-13 was a newly competitive-ish seat that the legislature made following a favorable court ruling. The district stretched from Greensboro in the east to Statesville in the west. Trump would have carried it by 10 points in 2024 #ElectionTwitter

I think Dems hold KY HD 95 because of Johnnie Ray Turner’s massive name recognition and over performance in 2020. As Trump swept his old seat, Turner only lost to a guy wiTH THE SAME NAME by 7 points, and winning Floyd and Knott counties #ElectionTwitter

Eric Adams, Bill DeBlasio, Michael Bloomberg, Rudie Giuliani: Spider-Man is a criminal
Zohran Mamdani: Spider-Man is simply representative of the larger issue of inequality
Mamdani is the first mayor who would support Spider-Man.

Why the NY legislature wouldn’t try to address the problem at the root is beyond me

Pharmacists contend the bill is necessary to protect them from underpayment by pharmacy benefit managers.
Unions opposed the bill, so their collectively bargained benefits were carved out.
Large employers that self-insure are also exempt under federal law.

This had real bite. I told my daughter to go to bed and she invoked the EO below to overrule me and watch until the end. Elections have consequences.
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.

Maryland’s HD 38B on the eastern shore is one of the bluest single member seats that Republicans hold. Situated in Wicomico County, Harris won it by over 7 points, doing best in Salisbury and Fruitland, but losing Delmar. I rate it at Lean D for this fall #ElectionTwitter

This is first class? It looks like a jail
Following her primary win last night, U.S. Rep. Hinson took a 1st class ticket out of Iowa for a markup in DC today. A source said, “I asked her about lahn she said she was surprised. She's only ever spoken to him once a year ago when he apparently wanted to run for Congress.”

Ontario is competing with Phineas and Ferb for longest summer break apparently
Jun 2
NEW: the Ford government confirms the Ontario legislature will begin a 102-day summer break today, not returning until Oct. 27.
Government house leader Steve Clark explains the province doesn’t want to interfere with the municipal elections, so they’ll return the day after.

Walla Walla County WA is the most fun-named county in the state, and is home to many vineyards. Trump won it by about 8 points, only losing the city of Walla Walla to Harris #ElectionTwitter

The California State Assembly has passed the Protect Our Games Act, a bill to protect user rights after a game's service ends
Under this, games shutting down would need to provide at least 60 days notice to consumers, while also ensuring that purchasers will still have access to the game via an alt version or patch that allows it to be played offline. And if not, they must offer refunds
The bill must still be passed by the California Senate

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

Breaking news: Redistricting is officially dead in South Carolina.
The South Carolina State Senate votes against redistricting in 26-18 vote
6R-1D congressional map stays in place
The vote against cloture keeps debate going in the State Senate but does not kill the redistricting bill.
Redistricting in South Carolina for this cycle is still highly unlikely since a majority of the State Senate voted against cloture on the bill.
