27.8% of Crowley County, Colorado has tested positive for #COVID19. Yes, there's a prison there. They're still people.
83 of the top 100 counties voted for Trump...which nearly matches the 82% of *all* counties nationally which voted for him. COVID is truly nonpartisan now.

I've tried to patiently explain that M4All would also include an individual mandate penalty. It's called "pay your fucking taxes or you get busted by the IRS."
This is the push to expand the number of House Congressional districts, which used to happen every once in awhile as states were added & the population grew but has been stuck at 438 for decades for no good reason.
Doing so would also dramatically weaken the Electoral College.
Whoops, sorry...435; the other 3 are for the Electoral College only.
The Constitution sets a minimum number of U.S. residents per House district (30,000) but doesn't include a maximum...and now we're up to over 700,000 apiece.
At a bare minimum the Wyoming Rule.
The Wyoming Rule would set the minimum at whatever the lowest-population state is. Wyoming has 578,000 residents, so that would bring the total up to around 569 districts or so.
In theory, you could make it as few as 30,00/district, but that'd mean nearly 11,000 House districts.
--Merrick Garland prosecuted the Oklahoma City bombers...white supremacists.
--Merrick Garland prosecuted the Atlanta Olympics bomber...a white supremacist.
--Merrick Garland prosecuted the Unabomber (not sure whether he was technically a white supremacist or not.)
People keep saying Garland "won't be aggressive enough" re. Trump & his corrupt thugs, but I don't know what that's based on. I assume because he seems like he has a mild-mannered style or whatever that people assume he'll be milquetoast, but is there evidence of that?
