The Virginia Supreme Court overturned the results of the state's redistricting referendum, which voters narrowly approved last month. Why it matters: The ruling upends one of the most closely watched redistricting fights in the country. It follows months of legal challenges over whether the referendum was unconstitutional. read more
The new law, signed this month by Gov. Bob Ferguson, terminates the overfunded pension account at the end of June 2029. It would then reinstate the fund, leaving 110% of what the state expects to owe its members. As of June 2024, the fund was 160% funded. By 2029, it's expected to reach more than 200%. This move is expected to sweep nearly $4 billion from the Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' System Plan 1, or LEOFF 1, with that surplus put into a separate pot where it could potentially cover general state expenses. read more
Physical assaults against Jewish people in the U.S. last year reached the highest levels since 1979, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) announced Wednesday. Why it matters: An overall decline in anti-Jewish harassment and vandalism didn't extend to a reduction in violence. read more

You may not know given American education system, but those were Democrats.
-Antisemitism fuels a large swath of the right....
It does? Where are these protests, similar to the Palestine protests?
See here's a mind experiment...
Lets say you got to one of these "Palestine protests.", thinking, yeah this is about Palestinians.
But then you see its leader with a Hamas flag, and everyone is running around with "Jews suck" posters, chanting "from the river to the sea"...
Do you think, perhaps that's antisemitism? Or do you go to the next rally?
My assertion is more mainstream lefties attend anti-Semitic rallies, denying its anti-semetic propositions. The only place I do see anti-semitism is at leftist Palestinian rallies.
Hasan Piker is left's Nick Fuentes. Why do they embrace him?

I find it really strange the Islam and "liberals" have united ... they are diametrically opposed to each other long term.

This Mamdani faux outrage is nothing but running cover for the atrocities of a report released, as well as the violence that took place in NYC against the synagogues and Jews in the streets, last night.
The most comprehensive report to date on October 7, with 400 witnesses and experts, finds that Hamas has 'deliberately and systematically resorted to sexual and gender-based violence.'
A new report, published on Tuesday, May 12, by The Civil Commission, a private Israeli organization, documents the severity of sexual violence committed by Hamas fighters on October 7, 2023, and during the subsequent captivity of hostages held in Gaza. To compile this 280-page investigation, the non-governmental organization, which specializes in studying violence against women and children, said it collected more than 400 accounts from survivors, first responders, soldiers, former hostages and experts. The group also relied on more than 10,000 photos and videos taken during the terrorist attack launched by the Palestinian Islamist organization against Israel.
Reading the document is particularly harrowing, reflecting the scale of the violence committed on October 7, when more than 1,200 people of all ages were killed and 251 hostages, both living and dead, were taken captive to Gaza. "Hamas and its collaborators deployed recurring tactics of sexual abuse and torture against victims. These crimes were marked by extreme cruelty and profound human suffering, often inflicted in ways designed to amplify terror and humiliation," the authors of the report emphasize.

Dems have not won (against Trump of all people) with 2 qualified women
Clinton was qualified. Kamala wasn't; she lacked the ability to discuss policy at length and without feeding questions. Also the $1B fundraising didn't help her one bit, she spent it like a drunk sailor.
The Democrat Elite need to choose based on merit and drop the "I'll elect a black woman because she's black".

27 were found to have received, possessed, or distributed child sexual abuse material.
And there was no "child trafficking" involved. It was about child porn.
The pictures were taken, obviously to any thinking person, by a child trafficker.
