Mark Meadows is living Congress because a judicial panel struck down the gerrymander essential to his political survival citizen-times.com/story/news/loc…
How it's done in North Carolina
Meadows is in Congress because the liberal city of Asheville was split between NC-10 and NC-11, drowning its votes with GOP rural votes. In 2020, all of Asheville will be in Meadows' NC-11, meaning he's probably a goner in a year of anti-Trump revulsion
LESSON: Republican professionals may keep *saying* that Trump is massively popular with the voters, but they are not fools enough to believe it. Meadows is quitting in 2019 because he anticipates a Democrat winning an un-gerrymandered western North Carolina in 2020
Some readers object that even post-2020 NC-11 will still trend strongly Republican. But at a minimum, holding the seat that now includes all of Asheville is about to become more difficult and more expensive for Meadows

This seems to be the weekend for "Bernie Sanders is the real front-runner" takes, eg
Meanwhile, 12/12 poll from BlackPac survey of African Americans shows Sanders 23 points behind with black registered voters, even more among black women
I keep thinking of that Dave Chapelle bit

Apparently @charliekirk11 thinks the only criminals who have rights worth respecting are the criminals who work for Donald Trump.

As Trump questions "by what right" does Nancy Pelosi impeach him, the elected president, a reminder ...
Trump would like to govern as a popular leader bursting through antique, perverse rule that thwart the will of the majority that elected him. In fact, he is an unpopular leader who owes his office to antique, perverse rules that thwart the will of the majority that rejected him
Must be very frustrating to him

Right after Donald Trump’s election, the SPLC really stoked panic. A pro-gay Episcopal church in Indiana was vandalized w/“Heil Trump,” a swastika, & an anti-gay slur. Turns out it was the gay organ player who did it. He was only charged w/a misdemeanor. indystar.com/story/news/201…
Days after the Pittsburgh massacre, Trump supporters were blamed for Nazi vandalism at a Brooklyn synagogue & fires in a Jewish community. Turns out the perpetrator was a gay black man who had worked with city council on an initiative to fight hate crimes. newyork.cbslocal.com/2018/11/02/bro…
One week before the presidential election, a black church in Mississippi was burned in an arson attack. “Vote Trump” was written on the building. After much panic, an investigation revealed that the man responsible was a church member. Andrew McClinton: washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…

When you see mention of the House Freedom Caucus and its hardcore conservatives like Meadows, remember their obstructionism:

"U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows helped engineer a federal government shutdown in 2013 in hopes of stopping the Affordable Care Act.."
citizen-times.com/story/news/loc…
⬇
Meadows, a Transylvania County Republican who represents most of Western North Carolina, has played an important role in bringing about the current partial shutdown over a border wall with Mexico." (via @asheville)

So. Much. "Freedom." 😠

⬇
The HFC's founding members are Rep. Scott Garrett, Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. John Fleming, Rep. Matt Salmon, Rep. Justin Amash, Rep. Raúl Labrador, Rep. Mick Mulvaney, Rep. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Mark Meadows.
