TWEETS OF NOTE

  • (@draloneboy) Timothy Cardinal Dolan on Charlie Kirk: “The more I learned about him, I thought this guy is a modern-day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knew what Jesus meant when he said, ‘The truth will set you free.’” Tweet.

  • (@CynicalPublius) RE: Gerrymandering In case you missed it, the Virginia Supreme Court just invalidated the gerrymandering plan that Governor Abigail “The White Witch” Spanberger got the Commonwealth's voters to approve via disinformation, illegal procedures, stealth and confusing/misleading ballot initiative language. Which is actually incredibly humorous. You see, the rabidly anti-democratic nature of that Virginia plan motivated red states to do something similar, except legal. Then, coincidentally, the US Supreme Court said that race-based legislative districts are unlawful, so now Southern red states are doing what Virginia wanted to do, except they are doing it legally and eliminating those unconstitutional, race-based districts that have been in place for decades. Today, Virginia, who started all this nonsense, got their whole scheme demolished while the other states--who did what they did largely in response to Virginia--have their new plans legally in place. All of this might have locked in the House for the GOP in the mid-terms. The irony is glorious and the schadenfreude is delicious. In other words, the whole sequence of events is schadenfreudelicious! Tweet.
