Supreme Court justices do not merely wield extraordinary power for life, writes @davedaley3. They also decide not only how long they serve but also when a fellow traveler who shares their philosophy has the best chance of inheriting their office. thenation.com/article/politi…

A Strategic Alito Retirement Would Confirm SCOTUS’s Complete Ideological Capture

Granting the hard-right jurist power over choosing a successor is a democratic disaster—and a far cry from John Roberts’s fanciful claims of nonpartisanship.

.@davedaley3: "The House math gets more difficult when you add that dozen to the 19 that the GOP could pick up via Callais, which only highlights the urgency of reform. Yet the problem runs deeper than the House." newrepublic.com/article/2117… #UnitedStates

The Coming Census Time Bomb

As bad as things are, they’re going to get a lot worse in 2030, thanks in part to the Supreme Court’s Callais decision. Here’s how to fight back.

Jimmy Kimmel plays this incredible CNN clip. Brian Stelter: The administration is calling out Kimmel, trying to pressure ABC, but they're being careful not to explicitly demand that ABC punish him. Boris Sanchez: The president actually put out a note demanding that Jimmy Kimmel be fired by ABC.

The California Govs primary is huge and messy. Party boss is stepping in to narrow the field. Ranked choice voting would be a simple fix to this problem. It pairs well with their Top2 system and gets rid of spoilers.

Texas has a lot to tell us, but also @DwayneYancey does a great job of breaking down the backroom trade-offs Dems are making. At this point, it seems like it's less about Trump and more about giving their friends in the legislature a specific district.

With General Assembly Democrats deadlocked on maps, Texas results pose a question: Does Virginia really need to redistrict? cardinalnews.org/2026/02/04/…

“We have never had the president of the United States call a state legislature .... with such immense power determined to cheat their way into holding onto it through sheer fear." David Daley's masterpiece on the gerrymander apocalypse in @newrepublic newrepublic.com/article/2028….

MAGA’s State-by-State Plot to Butcher Democracy

Political insiders, GOP legislators and governors, the president, even the Supreme Court—they’re all in on the flagrantly unconstitutional conspiracy to destroy democracy by the way they draw lines...

Stop blaming poor Elbridge Gerry. He didn't do this. John Roberts did. Let's name it after him. It's Robertsmandering now. thenation.com/article/politi…

Welcome to the Age of the Robertsmander

The chief justice has let partisan gerrymanders flourish, and created the conditions for near-permanent minority rule.

Time to stop calling it gerrymandering. This is Robertsmandering. Let's call what it is -- leave the governor from 200 years ago out of it, and identify the chief justice as the man to blame. thenation.com/article/politi…

Also something I pointed out in Ratf**ked while driving every district boundary of Michigan's 14th. Glad there's now scholarship. It was very apparent to the eye that specific firms, attractions, and stadiums were quite obviously just on the other side of the line.
Jake M. Grumbach@JakeMGrumbach2 Sep 2025
Single member legislative districts are just such a bad system, especially when parties are polarized (i.e., in any modern political system) Forthcoming APSR shows firms, not just voters, are gerrymandered into/out of districts for partisan gain link in reply (musk algo wack)
