Kevin Kiley needs a home

It's official: The Supreme Court is letting Proposition 50 stand (free link), allowing California Democrats (led by political GURU Paul Mitchell) to slice up the state's congressional districts in a manner that will obliterate Republican representation in D.C.

This is another embarrassing loss for Assistant Attorney General/longtime state GOP attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who made headlines weeks ago by arresting former CNN anchor Don Lemon and independent journalist Georgia Fort for covering an anti-ICE protest in a Minneapolis church.

But perhaps the biggest loser of the day is District 3 Representative Kevin Kiley (free link), whose current constituency has been torn into six pieces by the court ruling.

In all likelihood, Kiley must now hoist the ol' bindle over his shoulder and find a new district if he wants to stay in office. We take a look at his current options, which are so dire that his best bet might be to take a step back from Washington and return to the state legislature.

We take a deep dive into Kiley's options, before taking a larger look at the partisan gerrymander battles taking place throughout the country. No matter the outcome, special elections are already hinting at a very bad election cycle for the GOP, and a very good one for progressives and Leftists.

We also take a moment to check in on labor leaders like the California Labor Federation's Lorena Gonzalez, who is warning Governor Gavin Newsom that he needs to start taking workers' job safety in the face of the rising AI tide seriously if he wants to be the next president.

Oh, and of course we have to touch on a Congress member going wild (free link), posting feet on main.
