I don't think so.

As for if the Nevada map is a dummymander the answer is of course not. Sure Democrats could have drawn a 2-2 map with a couple of safer Dem seats but looking at the big picture why would they? If Democrats can't win 2 seats in Nevada with the current map they are not winning House anyway. Sometimes you have to take a little risk.

No, I would say its more like 19th century imperialism than a genocide. Does not make the invasion any less bad though as we don't want to return the world to how things were in the 19th century

     I think this is the key here. If this is a genocide then every war of conquest can be considered a genocide, which cheapens the term to a dangerous extent when it should be reserved for a certain class of exceedingly gruesome actions. I voted no because I don't think Russia's view of this conflict is consistent with the essentially 20th century worldview that one must adopt to see it as a genocide in the proper sense.

Reapportionment method: 1 seat given to each state by default. 385 assigned by population using a single divisor, with fractions being round down.
All districts within states will seek to have roughly equal numbers of Biden voters relative to other districts in the same state.

You should use the actual method used by the US House to be honest, I could do the calculations for you if you're interested.

Feel free to run the calculations, I'm curious to see what would change from the numbers I've got. I'm effectively doing an apportionment method favorable to bigger states, as opposed to one favoring smaller ones, or Huntington-Hill, which is in the middle.

He and Kyle Rittenhouse will make a killer(wink, wink!) Republican ticket in 20 years. 

There's some ambiguity in the Rittenhouse case to where a jury found him not guilty. There's none in this case. Abbott is the worst of the worst as a human being in all of US politics.

Yeah, it’s a shame because the case blew up and became just another culture war thing.

     Realizing that Rittenhouse was in fact not guilty as charged really surprised me when it happened because it went hard against type for Atlas. Not a surprise that they reverted to their previous views on the topic once some time had passed.

Garland should receive the same treatment as Peter Navarro if he fails to comply with the subpoena.

The tape of Biden's interview with Robert Hur is not a matter of Executive Privilege.  The people have a right to see their President respond to the questions asked, and they should be able to make up their own mind as to his level of cognitive functioning, given Hur's comments as to not charging Biden due to his forgetfulness.

Biden possessed classified documents he had no right to, and, unlike Trump, he had no power to declassify them.  He did this for decades.  The elements of the crime were met, and the idea that Biden "cooperated with the National Archives and investigators is beside the point; the cooperation was, in Biden's case, decades too late.

The American people are entitled to see this, regardless of the effect it may have on the Presidential election.

Meadows refused to comply with J6 Committee and the same Justice Dept Garland didn't hold Meadows in contempt either

I did (as someone who has turned into a semi-compulsive reader of Ballotpedia's "Population represented by state legislators" page in recent months). I just didn't think it was newsworthy.

Well, there was something like a third of a century where the NY Senate was the only one of the 99 state legislative bodies to change in size.

Around 1881, the Republican party was heavily split into 2 factions. The Half-Breeds were generally more progressive while the Stalwarts were more conservative. However, the Stalwarts were more pro civil rights, so I guess civil rights was seen as a right wing issue then.

From a quick look, if you were born in february 1837 you would be 40 years old in february 1877 and be alive during 12 presidents (Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson, and Grant), and just one month later you would add number 13 (Hayes).

So here you would hit 10 presidents by the time you are 24 years old.

24 years and 2 days, to be precise if you were born on March 3, 1837 and made it to March 4 1861.

The term "genocide" is thrown around way too loosely by the left these days

Don’t think Nevada was a Dem dummymander. The three Dem seats are based in an urban area and unless that urban area as a whole starts voting Republican regularly, then they’re not in huge danger. There’s not really been any indication that Clark County will start voting Republican. The last Republican to win it in a partisan race was in 2014. Just for reference.
