districts and blocks their use in upcoming
election - throwing midterm contests into turmoil

New York's electoral maps were thrown into chaos on Thursday after a judge on the state Supreme Court ordered Democrats to go back to the drawing board and work with the Republicans.The new maps were signed into law in February, as a consequence of the census - which every 10 years gives an updated view of the population, and a chance to redraw electoral districts to match.It is meant to provide a chance to rectify fluctuations in the number of residents, so that each district is as equal in population to all other congressional districts in the state. In practice, it is often a highly-contested process

What kind of a bs headline is this? A judge is a judge. Has party affiliation now become something akin to “Honorable “?

Turmoil ???? If a democrat leftist "judge" had ruled against a republican gerrymandered district map this rag would have hailed it as course correction for equity.

"The new maps were signed into law in February, as a consequence of the census - which every 10 years gives an updated view of the population, and a chance to redraw electoral districts to match." Now you know why they are intentionally dispersing illegals to strategic locations all over the US.

NY Lost one Congressional Seat. The new map takes away 3 Republican seats, adds 3 Democrat Seats, and eliminates 1 competitive seat. With the new map, if a Republican Tsunami gets 10% more votes than Democrats across the state, Democrats will still pick up three more seats. DEMOCRACY!

Leftist judges are doing this in red states across the country. In NC, the (elected) legislature approved a map that would have probably elected 11 GOP and 3 Commies. But JUDGES overruled our elected officials and imposed a map that will probably elect 8 GOP and 6 Commies—and maybe 7-7. Gerrymandering is loved by the Left. So, glad to see a NY judge throw a monkey wrench in the NY Democrat obvious gerrymandered congressional redistricting plan.

Upstate New York was heavily Republican. The exceptions were large towns, college towns, and areas that were very much into environmentalism. The Democrats always had to rely on gerrymandering to win in upstate New York. At one point my former Congressional district went from the Mid Hudson Valley where it only crossed the river at Poughkeepsie, went through the Catskills following RT 17, through Binghamton, continued west before turning north and ending up in Ithaca. That's when we had Maurice Hinchey. The Democrats could not hold it in spite of all they did, and it has been redistricted at least twice that I recall. The district was a joke but it gave the Dems an extra representative. New York after WW2 had over 40 Congressional districts, and now is under 30. Shows the steady decline of the state. Its been going on a long time. Prediction! In the end New York will have about 20 seats. 19 will be clustered around NYC, and the remaining one will be for the rest of the state. All will be Democrat controlled.

In NY State, the Supreme Court is a court of original jurisdiction, sort of like a County court in most states. The highest court in NY State is the Court of Appeals.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's campaign found it and her former chief of staff did not 'properly' disclose about $1 million in expenses, but a bipartisan panel voted to give them a pass. The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog group, had alleged in 2019 that Ocasio-Cortez's former chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, funneled more than $1 million in contributions to Democrats through two PACs he controlled during her run for Congress in 2018. While the FEC found that Chakrabarti did in fact fail to 'properly disclose the purpose of the disbursements' made to the Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats PACs,

To the Americans who have managed to stay sane amid the prevailing madness, Attorney General Merrick Garland is a hyper-partisan authoritarian who has sicced the FBI on parents who are concerned about their children, exaggerating imaginary threats for political purposes while ignoring real terrorists. But to the even more rabid members of the House Jan. 6 committee, Garland is a big lovable marshmallow who has been far too easy on the traitor Trump and his white supremacist followers. They want him to act, to contain the Trump threat, preferably before the “insurrectionists” score big gains in the 2022 midterm elections.

Back in 1967, the Reedy Creek Improvement District agreement was created to lure Disney to Florida. The agreement allows the district governmental powers to facilitate recreational projects and tourism. Florida's legislature felt that it would benefit the state if recreational organizations had the power to act as their own government in areas like property development, water control, public utilities, law enforcement, and fire protection. The mouse eagerly took the cheese, and today most of the land is owned by Walt Disney World. It's been a pretty sweet deal (snip) Now Florida legislators are threatening to pull those special privileges if Disney continues to strike at HB1557

Detroit—New vehicles sold in the U.S. will have to average at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026, up from about 28 mpg, under new federal rules unveiled Friday that undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its new fuel economy requirements are the strongest to date and the maximum the industry can achieve over the time period. They will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards. They're expected to decrease carbon dioxide emissions—but not as much as some environmentalists want—and raise new vehicle prices

Title 42 is a public health provision that was invoked by the Trump administration in 2020 at the onset of the COVID pandemic, allowing for the expedited removal of people crossing our borders illegally. While it is impossible to quantify a negative, it is reasonable to assume that preventing significant numbers of people traveling in large groups and coming from countries where
