So 60 Minutes last night was three celebrity profiles?

I guess it must have been a slow week for news.

AOC calls out the media

https://x.com/allenanalysis/status/2014172192485913075
🚨 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

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.
