It's almost like Brian Stelter is just a dope?
Jimmy Kimmel plays this incredible CNN clip. Brian Stelter: The administration is calling out Kimmel, trying to pressure ABC, but they're being careful not to explicitly demand that ABC punish him. Boris Sanchez: The president actually put out a note demanding that Jimmy Kimmel be fired by ABC.

The California Govs primary is huge and messy. Party boss is stepping in to narrow the field. Ranked choice voting would be a simple fix to this problem. It pairs well with their Top2 system and gets rid of spoilers.

Texas has a lot to tell us, but also @DwayneYancey does a great job of breaking down the backroom trade-offs Dems are making. At this point, it seems like it's less about Trump and more about giving their friends in the legislature a specific district.
With General Assembly Democrats deadlocked on maps, Texas results pose a question: Does Virginia really need to redistrict? cardinalnews.org/2026/02/04/…

Chief Justice John Roberts has been working to neuter the Voting Rights Act since the beginning of his career—and he may soon achieve his goal, @davedaley3 argues. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

“We have never had the president of the United States call a state legislature .... with such immense power determined to cheat their way into holding onto it through sheer fear." David Daley's masterpiece on the gerrymander apocalypse in @newrepublic newrepublic.com/article/2028….

Good morning, Los Angeles! Hope you might join me at 7 this evening at the great @vromans in Pasadena to talk ANTIDEMOCRATIC, gerrymandering, the Supreme Court. Also, why do I live on the east coast and not here? eventbrite.com/e/david-daley…

Time to stop calling it gerrymandering. This is Robertsmandering. Let's call what it is -- leave the governor from 200 years ago out of it, and identify the chief justice as the man to blame. thenation.com/article/politi…

Also something I pointed out in Ratf**ked while driving every district boundary of Michigan's 14th. Glad there's now scholarship. It was very apparent to the eye that specific firms, attractions, and stadiums were quite obviously just on the other side of the line.
Single member legislative districts are just such a bad system, especially when parties are polarized (i.e., in any modern political system) Forthcoming APSR shows firms, not just voters, are gerrymandered into/out of districts for partisan gain link in reply (musk algo wack)

If Florida had an undercount that was absolutely the fault of the DeSantis administration - which for months said it would play no role in the Census count, and then in Jan 2020, scrambled to do outreach with little preparation. Three months later, COVID. miamiherald.com/news/politic…
Apparently not as hard a question as who was president on April 26, 2021 when congressional apportionment was announced.
