NEW: @Axios interviewed two dozen Jewish members of Congress and congressional candidates about their experiences w/ antisemitism and reviewed dozens of blatantly antisemitic voicemails, letters and emails to their offices.
Here’s what we found: https://t.co/QSW5WBgN56
No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.
The KKK is alive and well in Tennessee. The Sargeant of Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.
FUCKING SHAMEFUL!
The Mississippi state house will apparently meet in the old state capitol for the upcoming redistricting special session - the building where Mississippi seceded from the Union in 1861. A detail that is at once both perfect & profoundly sad.

How America's new passports will look, according to a leaked design. No other country in the world, not even the most extreme dictatorships like North Korea or Iraq under Saddam Hussein, has put its leader's face on its passports.
BREAKING- Wow. Trump reeks of guilt as Norah O'donnell lays it out, sets him up and goes for the kill with "Do you think he was referring to you?" Trump lost it. Say's "you're horrible people." Then he lies and verbally abuses her. He's so guilty. He's enraged because she nailed him.
Trump is stuck. That’s the news from his speech.

We remember your callousness, Darren. We’ll certainly remember at the ballot box in November.
If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.

The profound weakness of last night‘s performance will linger. He didn’t give Republican members in desperate political straits an escape path. He didn’t reset his own rotting and rancid poll numbers.
No matter how many heroes you trot out, Donald, you’re not one of them, and never will be.
You are a failed, loathsome, low, and morally bankrupt staying on the glorious history of this country.
