Members of @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP, along with basketball star @EnesFreedom, are demanding answers from @NBA about its financial relationship with the Chinese Communist Party following an “in-your-face” display of CCP soft power in DC.

2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander
A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)
To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter

Methodology:
I’ll apply the difference in Presidential margin to the House result. Thanks @davesredist @mikemathieu @vest_team + @DKElections @PoliticsWolf
Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.

Trump 62.0% - Biden 36.6%
Real delegation: 6R-1D
Gerrymandered: 5R-2D
Δ Share of D seats: 14% => 28%
Easy Democratic pick-up of a safe new African American seat.

GOP House math coming into focus:
206 seats are locked down.
R's lead and *should* win: #AZ06, #CA03, #CA40, #CA45, #IA03, #MI10, #MT01, #NY22.
That's 214. Need 4 of these 15: #AZ01 #CA13 #CA22 #CA27 #CA41 #CA47 #CA49 #CO03 #CO08 #CT05 #NM02 #NV03 #OR05 #OR06 #WA03

This is a spreadsheet of Cook Report races which I made based on currently reported results (9am Wed).
+1= Dem Victory
-1=GOP Victory
+0.5= Dem winning
-0.5 = GOP winning
Based on this, right now, I think the Dems hold onto the US House.

Listening to last night's #MT01 debate, and this "abortion up to the moment of birth" nonsense from @RyanZinke (and others) is just that -- nonsense. Why? 🧵
(TW miscarriage / pregnancy complications)
(TW miscarriage / pregnancy complications)
Facts: abortions after 21 weeks, which is about halfway through pregnancy, make up 0.7% of all abortions in Montana.
These are almost exclusively tragic medical situations that result in parents ending wanted pregnancies.

Why would someone have an abortion past 21 weeks?
Many times, it's because the detailed ultrasound called the "anatomy scan", which happens at 18 to 20 weeks, shows something terribly wrong. Something incompatible with life, like missing organs.

Excited to speak to some Missoula voters at tonight’s forum! #mtpol

Also, this new Missoula Public Library still amazes me. We are all so lucky for this public space.
My parents’ activism on behalf of our community to ensure that everyone had a right to an abortion colored my path to public service. I will pick up that fight in Congress for Montana.
Stopped by the place that full-time Californian Ryan Zinke is claiming as his residence so he can run for Congress in Montana...and it’s a hotel.
The king of the grift & most corrupt politician of my lifetime #mtpol #mtnews #mt01

How in the world does someone enter politics with $2 million net worth and leave it with $36 million?
Corruption of course. Zinke made almost $1 million alone this year in consulting fees to the oil, gas, and mining industries.

Hope you’re enjoying your tan over there in Santa Barbara, Ryan!
Us full-time Montanans really appreciate out of state millionaires trying to divide our communities and buy our political offices :) #mtpol

MONTANA: is set to regain the 2nd district it lost in the 1990 census. Dems are hopeful they could be competitive in a new western district anchored by liberal Missoula & Bozeman - much like in the old, pre-1992 map (below, h/t thearp.org).
However, there's just one problem for Dems. Because so much of Montana's post-1992 growth has been in the west, Bozeman would now end up *east* of the line if the state were split east/west - splitting up Montana's two biggest Dem vote clusters, leaving both seats red (below).
In order for Dems to be remotely competitive in a new #MT01, it would likely need to include all of Missoula, Bozeman, Butte, Helena and Great Falls (below) - and even then, such a seat would've narrowly voted for Trump.
