Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.
I have a piece in The @nytopinion today about when men write women's history, they often get it wrong. Not always intentionally—but with consequences that last for generations.
Mary Todd Lincoln is a clear example.
She has been remembered as Abraham Lincoln's unstable, difficult wife for 160 years. That storyline was created almost entirely by men who had every reason to diminish her—biased biographers, political rivals, even physicians who labeled her grief as hysteria rather than recognizing it as the trauma it was.
She helped put Lincoln in the White House, and he was grateful. When he won the 1860 election, he ran home and woke her up: "Mary, Mary—we are elected."
History forgot the "we."

It is expected to leave Democrats with 10 House seats and Republicans with only one.
In the middle of a historic mission back to the Moon, this Administration is proposing to a 47% cut to NASA science and a 23% cut to NASA’s budget overall. Last week’s launch showed our country and world what we’re capable of when we work together toward a common goal. None of that can happen without support for science and research.
Working 7–8 hours a day just to come home and have only 4 hours of personal time and rest, including preparing for the next day, feels deeply wrong and sad.
