North_Carolina_Congressional_Redistricting_Comparisons_-_Wide.png — Gerrymandered vs neutral districts in North Carolina

A three-judge panel has ruled that North Carolina MUST redraw new congressional district boundaries as soon as possible, because the existing ones are illegally gerrymandered.

The ruling marks the second time this decade that the GOP's congressional boundaries in the state have been thrown out by a three-judge panel. In 2016, another panel tossed out two majority black congressional districts initially drawn in 2011, saying there was no justification for using race as the predominant factor in forming them. The redrawn map was the basis for a new round of lawsuits.

Just saw this via the twitter feed at emptywheel:
JPS Hospital will not contest the court order to turn off the ventilator.

Someone must have gotten the situation to register on the minds of the hospital management.

Apparently Steve Stockman, who is running against John Cornyn, has disappeared. No one has seen him in two weeks, he's missed at least one vote, and his staff isn't responding to requests for information.

Stockman has missed 17 straight House votes since Jan. 9— including one on the $1.1 trillion omnibus federal spending package he promised on Twitter to vote against. That's unusual since, even though Stockman has a reputation as a Capitol Hill renegade, he missed only about a dozen major votes all last year.

A Moebius scarf is a scarf with one side and one edge. It isn't hard to knit - the easy way is to knit a strip, flip one end, and sew or graft it together. It's more interesting to knit one as one piece, from its centerline to its edge.
