Florida Governor DeSantis given power to gerrymander state’s electoral maps - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/13/florida-legislature-governor-ron-desantis-redrawing-electoral-maps
"The Florida legislature will allow Governor Ron DeSantis to take the lead on redrawing the state’s 28 congressional districts, a highly unusual move that will probably diminish Black political power in the state and allow Republicans to further distort the state’s map to their advantage.
State legislatures, including Florida’s, usually draw a proposal for a plan that the governor approves or rejects. DeSantis vetoed the GOP-controlled legislature’s proposed congressional districts on 29 March after proposing his own map that would increase the number of GOP seats while eliminating two districts represented by Black Democrats. Leaders in the legislature said on Monday that they would not try to draft a new plan ahead of a special session next week, but instead were waiting for DeSantis, a likely 2024 presidential candidate, to submit his own plan."

The Damage Report: April 13, 2022

Jimmy Kimmel rips apart Tucker Carlson for his California megachurch announcement that he has not received any Covid-19 vaccine shots. John Iadarola and Yasmin Khan break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Jimmy Kimmel Is Calling Bullsh*t On Tucker Carlson’s Claim That He Isn’t Vaccinated - https://uproxx.com/viral/jimmy-kimmel-tucker-carlson-not-vaccinated/ "When he’s not obsessing over Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s swollen testicles, Tucker Carlson has spent the better part of the past two years spreading dangerous misinformation and downright dumb opinions about the COVID virus as well as the vaccines and safety protocols meant to prevent it from killing millions more people. Yet he has been weirdly evasive whenever he has been asked about his own vaccination status—until now. Earlier this month, while Carlson spoke at a California megachurch where he loudly and proudly told the crowd that skipped “the first three doses” of the vaccine, and had no intention of rectifying that—or standing in line for the fourth dose. But Jimmy Kimmel isn’t buying it." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

A flurry of early projections and exit polls showed incumbent Macron came first with 28.1-29.5% of the vote, followed by Le Pen on 23.3-24.4%. The different projections showed different tallies but all pointed toward a runoff between Macron and Le Pen in two weeks’ time, with the gap between the two not as tight as some political analysts had been predicting."
