House Republicans vote to censure Adam Schiff. They really don't have anything better to do?

This isn't about our politics but what do you think about what is going on in Russia? Husband just read a report that there is gunfire in Moscow.

This isn't about our politics but what do you think about what is going on in Russia? Husband just read a report that there is gunfire in Moscow. According to the latest info I can find, a portion of the Russian mercenary group Wagner was supposedly marching on Moscow, but the head of it, Yevgeny Prigozhin said he turned back "to avoid spilling Russian blood". He is in a big feud with Sergei Shoigu, Russia's Defense Minister. Prigozhin accused Shoigu of attacking a Wagner group in Ukraine and has demanded Shoigu's resignation. Which hasn't happened. There is a lot of unsubstantiated chatter on the web, so it's hard to know what exactly to believe. I think it's great if it leads to any diminishing of Putin's iron grip on Russia, but I don't think it will amount to anything in the long run. ETA: Prigozhin will go to Belarus with no charges against him or any Wagner fighters who participated in whatever this was. I've read Shoigu was "dismissed" and I've read that he hasn't been dismissed.

This is from a tweet by a Matthew Dowd:
In the last 24 hours, we have Lance Armstrong lecturing people about sports fairness, Meghan McCain lecturing people about nepotism, GOP lecturing people about law and order, white evangelical leaders praising/worshiping Trump…we live in a world where many lack mirrors.

amyrs , With him leaving the country I wonder what will happen to the men in his army. I think they are supposed to go with him? But there really isn't a lot of verifiable information. Re: your other post: They have magic mirrors, like the one in Harry Potter.

I am excited. Our newest Justice who was elected to the state Supreme Court takes her place on August 1. We have a twice gerrymandered map. First for the court to call our 1849 abortion law unconstitutional accourding to the 4 ladies who are now the majority in the court , our court has 7 members. Then I hope Professor Whitford who got our gerrymandering case to the US Supreme Court to tell hime the federal cant undo political gerrymandering. I hope he brings the case to our State Supreme Court and we get fair maps again. The Supreme Court today struck down the absurd fact that legislatures have no right to be balanced by state courts.

And we kept the good fair person on our state election commission too. I zm thrilled to be able to have balanced maps in a 50 50 state/ We should have 2 more congressional seats this way.half of them .We have only 2 of them right now. And in Texasthere should be 4 more seats with Title 2 of the voting rights decision.
