A whistleblower says the U.S. Postal Service is rushing out an online system for President Trump's push to restrict mail voting that could "derail" the midterm election if courts allow it to proceed. n.pr/4xvMl7f

NEW 🧵: Here's how Dems could redraw 9 congressional maps by 2028 & target more than 20 GOP seats. The GOP tried to rig the national map in 2026, & Dems had few ways to respond. But Dems could fully counteract them by 2028. We have example maps for each state www.the-downballot.com/p/how-democr...

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
sucks that it’s come to this, but if congressional Republicans wanted to put up a national gerrymandering ban or multi member districts etc, it would pass *for sure*. until then fight fire with fire

It would only have taken a handful of Republicans in Congress to have stopped this train wreck long ago. Not one stood up. Not one.
This is the lead in a news story in a major American newspaper: “President Trump threatened to wipe out the entirety of Iranian civilization if Tehran doesn’t cede to his demands by 8 p.m. Tuesday.” www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

There's a bigger story here, too, that I don't think I've seen explicitly articulated. The US has never really been in a position where it has to make significant concessions from a position of weakness, rather than exhaustion, to secure a peace treaty. That creates two interrelated problems. 1/x
Great article by Ali Vaez. Gift link. In essence, Trump is now in the same position as Putin: able to cause massive damage, but unable to make the enemy give in. He will have to make a deal, and the bitter irony is that, for all his origin story, Trump is incapable of really making a deal.
