A good primer from @MightyHeaton on gerrymandering.
This video may help everyone on the beach in Treasure Island or on their ranch 80 miles away in Wauchula figure out what happened to their now-shared Florida CD16.
PS: Vote @KellyKirschner for CD16!

broken up with staccato bursts of static as I try to identify where the emergency transponder beacon is sending from within a haunted nebula.

OK, that's hilarious but there actually is a town in Colorado named Salida, which is Spanish for exit. Lol

There’s zero chance he’s gonna win in Idaho as an independent but Todd Achilles might win best campaign ad of the year with this

California progressives are pushing for a tax on billionaires; so are senators like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
But as @MightyHeaton explains, such programs don't work. Just ask France.

The best podcast you’ll ever hear featuring two children of federal judges. @mightyheaton @whignewtons podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

The brilliant & at even at times bitterly funny interview of @naomibrockwell by @MightyHeaton on the gov't's shredding of the 4th Amendment ("Warrant? What Warrant?!") makes me proud to report that Naomi was co-founder of my Soho Forum & is also a close relative of mine.

America has often been hypocritical in executing its foundational beliefs. But the reason that criticism holds weight is because the ideals we've fallen short of are so awesome.
@MightyHeaton takes stock of the United States on its 250th birthday.

I was just going through and… huh, what happens when the Ayatollah falls! He didn’t get everything right of course (didn’t expect most everyone at the top to experience sudden kinetic discombobulatiin spontaneously!) but it was very informative. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

@MightyHeaton had a strong episode last May on occupational licensing on his Political Orphanage podcast, featuring guest @HawAllensworth , author of The Licensing Racket: How We Decide Who Is Allowed to Work, and Why It Goes Wrong.

Ladies, gentlemen, SWs fans…😝
I have explored space.
I have explored time.
Now… I explore distortion.
Yes. You read that correctly.
I am releasing a HEAVY METAL album.
Thirty-five metal virtuosos. Thunderous guitars. Chaos with purpose.
Covers of legends like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest — and a few originals forged in the same cosmic fire.
This project is, quite literally, a gathering of forces. Loud imagination. Honest intensity. Unapologetic exploration.
At 94, one does not slow down. One turns the volume up.
So prepare yourselves.
We are about to boldly headbang where no one has headbanged before. 🤘
Stay tuned. The metal voyage begins this year.

Everyone who says the Supreme Court always defers to Trump—a view of the court I have consistently disputed—should fundamentally reconsider their conception of that institution.
BREAKING: BREAKING: Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN Trump tariffs
The ruling is a rare rebuke for a high court that has been especially deferential to the president’s claims to vast executive power.
