Massachusetts is more red than Tennessee is blue.
Massachusetts has not had a Republican member of Congress in 30 years.
If Massachusetts has 0 red districts, Tennessee should have 0 blue districts.
Democrats are just mad that Republicans are finally doing the same thing they have been doing for years.
it's funny when libs are like "if REPUBLICANS do an EVIL GERRYMANDER, BLUE STATES should respond"
and the red-state map just looks normal as hell and the blue-state response looks like a toddler's scrawling on the kids menu
A $250 million defamation lawsuit from FBI Director Kash Patel against The Atlantic reminds us that free speech protections matter most when public officials are involved.
The First Amendment sets a deliberately high bar for defamation claims brought by government officials.
Defamatory speech is not free speech, and it is an honor to represent Kash Patel in this lawsuit seeking accountability for The Atlantic article's malicious falsehoods.

This is the letter we sent to The Atlantic and Sarah Fitzpatrick BEFORE they published their hit piece on FBI Director @FBIDirectorKash. They were on notice that the claims were categorically false and defamatory. They published anyway.
See you in court.
The California Supreme Court sent a clear and terrorizing message:
If attorneys represent disfavored political candidates who challenge disputed elections, California will disbar them.
While this happens in failed third-world countries, this should never happen in America.
Muhammad is dead.
Krishna is dead.
Buddah is dead.
Confucius is dead.
Jesus Christ is alive.
That is the truth that has remade the world. Glory to God.
Legal substance aside, I'm so utterly done with district court judges writing opinions like they're posting tweets or writing editorials.
"He is not, however, the owner!"
Dude, what? Write like you're a judge. This is just creative writing. Get this garbage out of here.
It was an honor to work on this case and help secure a meaningful measure of accountability for one of the most egregious abuses of power in U.S. history. @GenFlynn is an American hero, and this acknowledgment of the wrongful prosecution for invented crimes is an important step toward restoring confidence in the justice system.
BREAKING: Flynn Family statement about today’s DOJ settlement regarding my case.
______________
Today, after ten years of fighting, I have reached a settlement agreement with the United States Government in my case regarding the Russian Hoax FBI lawfare against me.
Nothing can fully compensate for the hell that my family and I have endured over these many years—the relentless attacks, the destruction of reputations, the financial ruin, and the profound personal toll inflicted upon us all. No amount of money or formal resolution can erase the pain caused by a prosecution that should never have been brought.
This ordeal stemmed from partisan government officials in a coordinated effort to pursue an innocent man as part of a broader campaign to undermine @realDonaldTrump and his administration. It was a relentless, partisan pursuit that weaponized federal law enforcement in an audacious and unjust manner.
Yet this settlement goes far in demonstrating that the current Department of Justice, under the leadership of President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Blanche, and other dedicated departmental leaders, is committed to bringing accountability for the bad acts of those partisan actors. It marks a meaningful step toward righting a profound wrong.
There should never again be such a brazen attempt to weaponize federal law enforcement against political opponents or innocent citizens. It is essential that we remain guardians of the rule of law. A huge part of that guardianship is accountability, holding those who abuse power to answer for their actions.
It is not this Department of Justice that created this crisis of politicized justice, but they are doing right by truly pursuing justice now—ensuring that the facts prevail and that such abuses are not repeated. This resolution, while imperfect, brings to an end this chapter of injustice. This small measure of accountability should help the nation heal regarding the abuses of the past. It allows my family and me to move forward.
My family and I remain grateful for the support of so many who stood by us. It was their support and our faith in God Almighty that sustained us and gave us the strength to endure. I will continue to advocate for the restoration of integrity in all our institutions.

My Statement on the Settlement in Flynn v. United States.
General Flynn is an American hero and he and his family should have never been put through this hell. That they had the courage to stand firm and fight back against the extremists in the Mueller investigation should be a testament to the strength of American character. In this agreement, the Justice Department is doing more than simply cutting a check, they are admitting that General Flynn was seriously wronged.
Wait, how is it intellectually consistent for Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson to rule in favor of courts blocking redistricting in Texas but not in New York State? What possible reason could there be for the 3 liberal justices to hold such inconsistent beliefs?
Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Panama…it’s all interconnected and it all points to China.
As U.S. energy ramps up, and China is deprived of subsidized oil, subsidized shipping channels, freedom of navigation through sovereign waters and allies that can cause the U.S. problems…their global position diminishes substantially and their costs of doing business skyrocket.
Venezuela and Iran account for something like 20% of China’s oil imports and they’re getting an insane deal on it. China has a huge problem if that oil goes away.
You’d be forgiven for thinking Trump’s foreign policy seems random and chaotic, but it’s actually one of the most focused and (thus far) well executed foreign policies in at least 2 generations.
