🚨 BREAKING: AOC just called out the media for spending years fixated on Biden’s cognition while barely touching Trump’s very real cognitive decline and escalating erratic behavior.

None of this is normal. And pretending it is, is journalistic malpractice.

Judge orders state commission to redraw Staten Island and Brooklyn congressional district
By Brigid Bergin and Jimmy Vielkind

A state judge in Manhattan ruled Wednesday that the boundaries of one of New York City’s U.S. House districts are unconstitutional, potentially kicking off a process in which a state panel redraws the state’s congressional map.

State Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Pearlman sided with Democratic lawyers who said the lines of U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’ district unlawfully diluted the voices of Black and Latino voters in Staten Island.

He ordered the New York Independent Redistricting Commission to redraw the district boundary lines by Feb. 6. He also barred any election from taking effect until the lines are redrawn.

The 11th Congressional District currently encompasses Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn. The plaintiffs in the case are voters from Staten Island and Lower Manhattan, part of the nearby 10th Congressional District, who have said they’ve been disenfranchised. They are represented in the case by the law firm of Marc Elias, who has brought election and redistricting cases on behalf of Democrats around the country.

😳 😱
I am so on the same page with you @StephenM!
The fact that they have not cure Hyperopia by the 32rd Century is an abysmal oversight on the writers!😤

Also @paramountplus needs to up the budget because I’m sure that a well oiled organization like Starfleet in the distant future could afford more than one pair of glasses for at least this hyperopic bridge crew.🤷🏼

Do they pass the glasses 👓 around while piloting the ship‽ 🙄

Shame on the line producers!

🤔That is what you meant, right‽ 😉👍🏻

I am ready to assume command of the series!

Call me! 🤙🏻🙂!

I’m Probably About to Be Banned From CNN — But Someone Has to Say This About Scott Jennings
Julie Roginsky

There are times when you need to tell your friends that they are committing a grave mistake, even if they resent you for telling the truth. This is to say: I’m fairly confident that this column will get me banned from CNN’s airwaves.

CNN once sold itself as the grown-up in the room. It was the network you turned to when the stakes got real. That reputation — earned over decades — was built on restraint, seriousness, and a basic respect for viewers. Which is why CNN’s continued reliance on Scott Jennings is not just baffling, but corrosive to its brand.

This is not about ideology. CNN has long — and rightly — made room for conservative voices. The problem is not that Jennings is a Republican. The problem is how he behaves, what he contributes, and what his presence signals about what CNN now tolerates.

On air, Jennings does not debate; he blathers. He talks over women with particular frequency, interrupts relentlessly, and treats panel discussions as contests of volume and obstinacy, rather than as exchanges of ideas. He mugs to the camera and rolls his eyes, while calling any fact he does not like a lie. It is performative obstruction — the cable news equivalent of flipping the board when you’re losing the game.
