Bayou Bargain: Louisiana Cuts a $9 Million Check for a Bullet in the Back

Well, it finally happened. After years of performative shouting, a few too many box wines, and one very persistent eye twitch that could double as a metronome for national decline, Jeanine Pirro has officially been confirmed by the United States Senate as the new U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. That’s right—our nation’s capital’s

Lines in the Sand: How Redistricting Became the Supreme Court’s Favorite Shape-Shiting Weapon
It’s once again that magical time in America when maps are less about geography and more about strategy—where lines aren’t drawn by cartographers but by career politicians with a vengeance kink.
