SOME THINGS WE CAN’T GET OVER Rod Haxton, ctnewsonline.com A Kansas publisher was gleefully taking a victory lap following the state Supreme Court’s decision not to overturn gerrymandered redistricting maps that favor Republicans.

If the idea seemed absurd then, the passage of time has only made it empirically so. Read more here.

WHY SIGNIFICANT GUN RESTRICTIONS ARE UNLIKELY IN CONGRESS Michael Schnell, thehill.com If there’s one thing members of both parties agree on it is this: Congress is unlikely to pass significant gun control legislation, even after two shocking mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y. and Uvalde, Texas, that targeted Black people and children.
