The Israeli military official told reporters Tuesday that the newly revealed incident involved fighters posing as personnel of the Washington, D.C.-based World Central Kitchen (WCK) and occurred over the weekend after Israeli troops identified a gathering of "a few dozen" armed individuals traveling near an IDF post in Gaza. The Israeli forces then observed a parked vehicle bearing World Central Kitchen insignia, prompting Israeli personnel to contact the food security organization to verify that the individuals were not affiliated with the group, which has since confirmed the Israeli account. read more

The Corruption is Mind Boggling
Corruption? From the man who created a crypto coin out of the goodness of his heart? I am shocked!

Half-joking, but felt the visceral connection when I saw the bracelets.
It's a gradual process. The same way the GOP is destroying our Democracy.
First we celebrate the new moms, then we criticize those who don't conceive.

According to that map (and emphasis on "could change"), the end result looks pretty even.

If that's the best the Dems can do, that's the way it is. But they certainly shouldn't stand around with their hands in their pockets and hope the GOP decides to start playing fair. The GOP, the same party that continues disenfranchising every American citizen they can in their quest for power.
Last week, the Florida Supreme Court twisted a historic provision of the U.S. Constitution, meant to protect minority voters, as a means to disenfranchise them.
The ruling was signed off by five members of the Supreme Court, all Gov. Ron DeSantis appointees. They invoked the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to uphold his cynical 2022 gerrymander that deprived Black voters across North Florida of any chance to be represented in Congress by someone who looked like them.

The gerrymander in California is outrageous. Of their 52 congressional districts, nine of them are Republican. That means 17 percent of their delegation is Republican when Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in that state. How can this be possibly allowed?

You don't understand how a 40% vote could lose an election? The fact that California has a single Republican representative after they voted to raise Californian's taxes in 2016 with Trump's first tax cut gift to billionaires is the real shock.
California Citizens Redistricting Commission
The commission first met in 2010 and has fourteen members: five commissioners each from the two political parties with the first and second largest statewide registrations, and four commissioners not registered with either of those two parties.
Independent studies by the Public Policy Institute of California, the National Journal, and Ballotpedia showed that the 2010 CCRC's maps included some of the most competitive districts in the nation, and created opportunities for new elected officials.
