All indications are early voting will start as expected on Friday for redistricting referendum

Only thing that could stop it is explicit order from Virginia Supreme Court not to do so

Complicated in Tazewell county due to local judge’s order

Hearing going on today there

Virginia redistricting election can move forward, court rules Although Monday’s ruling means the redistricting referendum will take place, it is not the end of the legal saga.

🚨BREAKING: Virginia voters will head to the polls starting Friday to weigh in on a plan to redraw the state’s congressional map in response to GOP gerrymanders in other states after a court ruled* that election preparations can move forward. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It’s important that Dems go on Fox to hammer this point home. Many viewers are not okay with what Trump has started, after promising no more foreign wars.

So much winning that we can't travel to half the globe.

Trump’s latest war in Iran is already a fiasco in the making, from start to uncertain and unstable end. I walk through seven reasons why. My piece in the replies.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Only one in five Americans supported an attack on Iran.

But Trump did it anyways.

As a teen I'm sure I read several books just because of the Frank Frazetta cover art.

I'm 2/3 through the very good Ancillary series by Ann Leckie and just noticed something. In the main (fictional) language spoken in the book the only pronouns are she/her. I just realized that I am envisioning all of the characters as female... But they may not all be female. Neat trick.

Does Ancillary Justice count? She is at least partly non-organic.

After the Supreme Court ruling, @JBPritzker writes a letter to Trump asking him to pay back the costs of the tariffs to people in his state:

"On behalf of the people of Illinois, I demand a refund of $1,700 for every family in Illinois."

Includes a mock invoice:

NEW: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent Trump a letter and an invoice demanding the return of $8.6 billion taken from Illinois families after the Supreme Court ruled Trump’s tariffs are illegal.

“Every kid reads. Every kid eats. Every kid succeeds.”

This is exactly the kind of message Dems need on schools.

Draws in excellence, investment in kids as whole people, and looks to the future.

As usual, everything that Trump says about tariffs and trade is totally untrue—according to the economic statistics issued by his own administration.

I couldn't finish this one. I got about halfway and decided all the characters were sh**ty, selfish people and I just didn't care what happened to them.

It's going to be hard to leave the worlds of the Vorkosigan saga when I finish the series.

And unfortunately a lot of innocent people will get hurt in the process.
