My latest with Brendan Cole:
A Utah judge has chosen a congressional map that would make at least one of the state’s four congressional seats—currently held by Republicans—more competitive for the Democrats.
Judge Dianna Gibson said in her ruling late Monday that a Republican-proposed redistricting map „fails to abide by and conform with the requirements of Proposition 4,“ a 2018 state rule that created an independent redistricting commission to deter gerrymandering.

Senate Democrats will learn NOTHING. As per fricking usual.
*Angry Mormon noises.*
Essentially cancels out the Missouri gerrymander and California cancels out the Texas one.
Seeing everywhere today that democrats are just a controlled opposition party. That narrative couldn’t be more wrong.
Presumably the senate will now create a compromise in which only red states can gerrymander, and in return they’ll possibly vote on whether blue states can gerrymander too.
Can’t wait to see how Democrats shit on *this* victory to cave in to fascists
Wow
about time
Nothing was won, it’s getting appealed. Media needs to quit doing this.
The Utah GOP promptly appealed the Utah Supreme Court and a GOP rep in their state house filed articles of impeachment against the judge that made this ruling.
This state actively tries to go against the will of their people so much is mind boggling they still control it.
Have no idea why this isn’t being talked about more. The US house just gained a democrat. In Utah if all places. After their citizens fought and voted for a ballot measure to stop gerrymandering and then their own legislators tried to overturn multiple times.
Thank goodness the judge in this case ruled in favor of the people.
And when the GOP doesn’t follow judge’s orders, nothing will change.
We need to give the judiciary teeth to use against the other branches. This is beyond fucked up.
In response, Chuck Schumer asks that no Democrat run for that seat.
How hard would it be to explain how competitive the new map is?
It’s a good start but still have the appeals process to play out
Chuck Schumer just called the Republicans in Utah and told them it’s fine, they can gerrymander if they want to, don’t worry, no Democrats will stop them.
Don’t tell Chuck, he might fuck that up too.
What’s the point when we have leadership like Chuck, who constantly sells Americans out?
