@#17 ... Currently, California and New York use independent commissions to draw up congressional districts. ...

Also, the redistricting is usually done after a Census to take into account the changes in population shown by the Census.

Texas is redistricting halfway between two Census.

@#1 ... It's SO blatant and clear that even some Republicans see the dangers. ...

If Texas succeeds and the Republicans retain control of the House, then what are the odds that Pres Trump tells the House not to certify the results of the 2028 Presidential election, giving Pres Trump a possible reason to stay in power...

... The notice did not name the farm but stated that infections occurred in north and central Florida. Bacteria found in those who were sick included campylobacter, a common cause of diarrheal illness, and shiga toxin-producing E. coli, which can result in hemolytic uremic syndrome, a condition that can cause kidney failure, permanent health problems and death. ...

Raw milk can be sold in Florida provided containers have a label stating that the product is for animal consumption only. While not sold in major grocery chains, it is easy to find in smaller health food stores. ...

... It is the first walkout at Boeing's defence business since 1996, when work stopped for more than three months.

But last week Boeing's chief executive Kelly Ortberg downplayed the potential impact of the walkout.

He highlighted that it would be a lot smaller than a strike last year involving around 30,000 passenger jet workers that cost the firm billions of dollars.

"I wouldn't worry too much about the implications of the strike. We'll manage our way through that," said Mr Ortberg. ...

@#32 ... Smith isn't a child raping traitor like pedo 47. So there's that. ...

There is also the fact that no specific evidence-based accusations against Mr Smith have been filed.

So, that aspect makes this "investigation" look more and more as a deflection attempt by the Trump admin.

From your current alias' #12 ...

... But back on topic, Democrats have been caught lying and there is verifiable proof. ...

Speaking of, back on topic ...

I'll ask once again, as I did in #21.

Where is that verifiable proof?

I still have not seen your current alias provide it.

... In the latest school year, an estimated 286,000 young children were not fully protected against measles. At the same time, the country has seen numerous explosive measles outbreaks, with case counts in 2025 already higher than any other year since the highly infectious disease was declared eliminated in 2000. In fact, the case count is at a 33-year high.

The latest small decline is one in a series that is eroding the nation's ability to keep bygone infectious diseases at bay. In the 2019"2020 school year, 95 percent of kindergartners were protected against measles and other serious childhood diseases, such as polio. That 95 percent coverage is the target that health experts say prevents an infectious disease from spreading in a community. But amid the pandemic, vaccination rates fell, dropping to 93.9 percent MMR coverage in the 2020"2021 year, and have kept creeping downward.
Anti-vaccine era

At the height of the pandemic, some slippage in immunization coverage could be blamed on disrupted access.

But anti-vaccine sentiments and misinformation are clearly playing a large role as vaccination continues to decline and access has largely resumed.

For the 2024"2025 school year, nonmedical exemptions for childhood vaccinations once again hit a new high.

These are exemptions driven by ideology and have risen with the influence of anti-vaccine voices, including current health secretary and fervent anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ...

@#3 ... So? ...

Let's see what happens next.

Will funds be withheld unless the states comply?

So, Texas Republicans seemed to have turned the goal of a special Legislative session from dealing with floods to how to negate the votes of Democrats.

Priorities matter.

The special Texas legislature session was convened to work through the flood issues.

Oops. :)

And, how does the transfer of Ms Maxwell to an apparently low-security white-collar crime prison after talking for hours with Pres Trump's personal attorney (who now seems to be the Deputy AG) look?

Mr Blanche, during the confirmation hearings, seemed to indicate that he could not give up his attorney privilege with Pres Trump should he gain the appointment.

So that leads me to ask, when Mr Blanche spent hours talking with Ms Maxwell, was he speaking for the American people, as a Deputy AG should do, or was he speaking as a defense lawyer of Pres Trump? The answers he gave during his confirmation hearing aise doubts in my mind.

Of course, that question ignores a critical issue here ...

Why was the Deputy AG of the US, who did not know the dteails of the case, even conducting these two interviews?

@#30 ... My my how the tables have turned. ...

How so?

@#4

I'd say that is a ood analysis of the situation, as I see it.

kabuki theater

Yup.

But, I have to ask, if someone feels the need to assert a dominance, isn't that really just an admission of weakness?

In my state (CT) the public records show party affiliation.

Is this effort part of Pres Trump's effort to deal with who he calls, "the enemy from within" that is, Democrats?

Drip, drip, drip, drip ....

... Over the past three months, the department's voting section has requested copies of voter registration lists from state election administrators in at least 15 states, according to an Associated Press tally. Of those, nine are Democrats, five are Republicans and one is a bipartisan commission.

In Colorado, the department demanded "all records" relating to the 2024 election and any records the state retained from the 2020 election. ...

@#40 ... Nope, those were made up "crimes" ...

The jury had a different view.

Why does your current alias seem to have such difficulty understanding facts it does not seem to like?

@#11 ... Think of it more like he runs a petting zoo. ...

While you may seem to be OK to trivialize the damage done to Mr Epstein's victims, I am of a differing opinion.

One of the victims committed suicide this year because of the abuse she suffered.

Mr Epstein and Ms Maxwell committed horrific crimes upon hundreds? of children.

Children.

Children.

Please do not make light of that crime.

@#3 ... OPEC has generally the lowest production costs so they have quite an advantage. ...

Agreed.

But they also need to have agreement among its members.

... US President Donald Trump announced he had deployed two nuclear submarines ...

If I may be so bold to ask ...

Pres Trump's comment was ambiguous.

"Nuclear submarines"

Does that mean ...

Nuclear powered?

- or -

Nuclear-weapon equipped?

There's a huge difference between the two.

... Russia and China began joint naval drills in the Sea of Japan on Sunday as they seek to reinforce their "no-limits" strategic partnership " signed shortly before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The drills take place two days after US President Donald Trump announced he had deployed two nuclear submarines to "the appropriate regions" in response to comments by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev. ...

Interfax news agency quoted the Pacific Fleet as saying Russian and Chinese vessels were moving in a joint detachment including a large Russian anti-submarine ship and two Chinese destroyers.

It said diesel-electric submarines from the two countries were also involved, as well as a Chinese submarine rescue ship. The manoeuvres are part of exercises titled "Maritime Interaction-2025" which are scheduled to end on Tuesday.

Interfax said Russian and Chinese sailors would conduct artillery firing, practise anti-submarine and air defence missions, and improve joint search and rescue operations at sea. ...

@#2

Others, not so much.

@#36 ... Try him in a court of law or shut the ---- up.

Otherwise, it didn't happen. ...

So, your current alias agrees that Pres Trump is then guilty of 34 felony counts, as tried in a Court of Law, and was found to be guilty.

The world oil market seems to have many variables.

Some even seem to be rational.
