I ❤️ when a #Republican scheme blows up in their faces.

In #Florida (where else?), #DeSantis is complaining about a redistricting map HIS ADMINISTRATION WROTE JUST FOUR YEARS AGO to give themselves an advantage in the election.

PROBLEM: #DisasterDon & The #GOP are SO unpopular, that by moving #Democrats out of solidly blue districts (where they didn't need more Dems to win there), they moved them into "close race" red districts now ripe to flip blue. 😆

DeSantis pitches a ‘very illegal map’ in desperate bid for Trump’s favor

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reportedly wants a job in the Trump administration when his term as governor ends. Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost explains to Jen Psaki that DeSantis knows Trump well enough to know that the best way to get in Trump's good graces is to show fealty to him, so he has joined the game other Republican governors are playing to rig their states' congressional districts to favor Trump. Frost points out that DeSantis' map is illegal, but also, DeSantis is not making a good faith effort to draw a real congressional district map.

Citing First Amendment, Federal Judge Blocks Trump Order to End Funding for NPR and PBS

The operational impact of U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss’ decision was not immediately clear — both because it will likely be appealed and because too much damage to the public-broadcasting system has already been done, both by the president and Congress.

Judge blocks Trump order to end funding for NPR and PBS

A federal judge has agreed to permanently block the Trump administration from implementing a presidential directive to end federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. The two are media entities that the White House has said are counterproductive to American priorities. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss cited the First Amendment in his decision. The impact was not immediately clear — both because it will likely be appealed and because too much damage to the public-broadcasting system has already been done, both by the president and Congress.
