Remember the Yugo?

The Yugo was marketed in the US from 1985-1992. I still remember the reference in the film Dragnet,

I don’t think the Trump cult will care about what Cawthorn did

Why not? MAGA voters don’t care about this. Why should they object to Cawthorn? https://t.co/M9itgrSJd9

Covers: Pushin’ Too Hard

“Pushin’ Too Hard” by the Seeds (recorded in 1965) is a great example of garage rock.

On this date in 1968, the Buells and Hubbards invest in a rock group called The Warts in #TheMothersInLaw episode "How Not to Manage a Rock Group." The Warts were portrayed by the rock band "The Seeds" and performed their hit song "Pushin' Too Hard." pic.twitter.com/eIs3j1yb5a

Evil Republican lies and attacks on voting

Far from the US-Mexico border, the Republican obsession with the fiction of a stolen election has spawned a newer cause for fear of illegal immigration. My latest from Ohio. https://t.co/HxqcA1kFPn

SPECIAL REPORT: We counted 8 attempts to gain unauthorized access to voting systems since the 2020 election. All involved Republican officeholders or party activists who have advanced Trump’s fraud falsehoods or conspiracies about rigged voting machines.https://t.co/fw9E1EZcaU

Update on New York gerrymandering

How huge a deal is the NY ruling? A neutral plan drawn by a court-appointed special master (hypothetical, left) could give Republicans 3-5 more winnable seats than the 22D-4R Dem gerrymander that was just struck down (right). pic.twitter.com/jEXzQIPgVH

New York’s top court threw out the state’s new district lines, ruling they were improperly drawn. That will likely delay to at least some of the primaries that were due to be held on June 28 https://t.co/4AdfiarnZ9

Breaking: NY's top court throws out Dems' congressional map and delays June 28 primary, depriving them of their most critical gerrymander of the 2022 cycle. https://t.co/yNlPes1FVN pic.twitter.com/9nRJjGRHyy

Back in February, Kavanaugh said it was too late to strike down Alabama's congressional district map. So if New York's map gets tossed out in state and Dems appeal to SCOTUS, surely he'll side with Dems right? If it was too late in February then it must be way too late now.

Update on Wisconsin gerrymandering

Wisconsin’s Supreme Court approved new legislative maps drawn by Republicans, reversing its ruling favoring the Democratic governor’s maps. The ruling essentially locks in Republican majorities in the State Assembly and State Senate for the next decade. https://t.co/esGOgTb8cS

After the WI Supreme Court initially picked Evers’s maps, SCOTUS told them to try again with new criteria. Predictably, that resulted in the GOP’s maps being chosen. https://t.co/k4mB51zozA

Wisconsin Democrats thought they had won the redistricting war, by winning the governorship and state judicial races. They didn’t count on the Supreme Court, which has bolstered Republican efforts with more cases in the wings. @colbyitkowitz @daveweigel https://t.co/qX2gggD2MR
