Now the congressional map has been overturned as well:

This is a huge deal in redistricting. Ohio's current congressional makeup is 12 R-4 D. The overturned map would have probably resulted in 13 R-2 D. Now it's back to the legislature to pass a another map, but it will probably be 10 R-5 D or 9 R-6 D.

Wow, the deep roots (pun intended) of misogyny. How very very demoralizing.

DirecTV has announced it will no longer air OAN once its current contract expires. David Pakman read most of the press release during this segment.

Rand Paul has announced he is cancelling his DirecTV service. The former occupant of the White House is urging a boycott.

Good grief. And in related news, DeSantis released his plan for redistricting the state of Florida. He announced it the night before MLK Jr. Day.

DeSantis timings is unreal

I think his timing is perfect for what he wants to do. Apparently Laura Ingraham and other GOP'ers are going after TFG because they want to run DeSantis in 2024.

I wonder who paid/is paying her? She fooled a lot of people and I'm pretty sure she will be a one term Senator but what a lot of damage she will do in that one term.

I've seen a lot of speculation it's the Koch brothers, which absolutely tracks. They are plenty diabolical enough to insert a Trojan Horse.

There is also a possibility that nobody is paying and she actually believes in preserving the filibuster at all costs.

And this idea that you censor your own people is getting out of hand. So yes, she has turned out to be not a regular democrat. She seems fairly on the right. But she was elected by her people.
If you censor people when they disagree with you, then why have Senators? Have two senators, one dem one GOP, and they vote.
I know, she has been disappointing. That is part of the business. So kick her out reelection is due, but this is the same as Liz Cheney being censored by the GOP.
Maybe they can trade places.

Big difference between censor and censure. What she's doing is not business as usual, she's being censured by the people in Arizona that voted for her and that thought she was telling the truth when she said she'd represent their interests well in DC. Nothing here is out of order.

And that's a massive joke about Liz Cheney. She's as conservative as they come, breaking on one particular issue, and in only one particular way I might add, doesn't change that.

Sinema is bought and paid for. You're not paying attention all that much if you think this is about her having a strong moral compass on filibusters. That's not the case for her or Manchin.

Manchin wakes up every day thankful that Mississippi and Alabama exist.
