\nQuote: In this Data Gem, you will learn about where to find and download the complete P.L.94-171 Redistricting Data Files from the 2020 Census for your state using the Census Bureau\u2019s File Transfer Protocol site. This is a great resource for users looking to download large data files to use with software such as Microsoft Access, SAS, SQL, Sqlite, Oracle, Tableau, ArcGIS, and more. You will also learn about some of the critical resources that will enable you to successfully work with these data.
\nClick through if interested.<\/a> Colorado is s state which requires an independent commission to draw the districs, and it has a history of being as fair as it can be – based on the data it is given. So I won’t be looking. But it anyone does need or want to know amore about this, well – the horse’s mouth.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – \u201cI tried to ask @GOPLeader McCarthy a question after he decried Cuban police pickup up (sic) people in the streets,\u201d Mr Stern tweeted. \u201cWhy does he oppose the bipartisan #January6thCommission? A Congressional staffer had four cops pick me up and drag me from the room. I still asked the question.\u201d
\nClick through for deets<\/a>. Despite the quotes around “dragged,” this did happen. There’s more on PolitiZoom,<\/a> but not everyone can see that site.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – The newly formed House select committee is taking the lead on investigating January 6 going forward, consolidating the investigation, as other committees looking into the matter begin handing over their work, according to a multiple sources familiar with the matter. That includes interviews with key figures related to that day that were already scheduled to meet with other committees but were postponed.
\nClick through for story.<\/a> This is a normal thing to happen – Benghazi is just one example – but the kerfuffle about the committee selection, which resulted in the Republicans on the Select Committee being the only two who are committed to finding the truth, makes it different. Republicans on Oversight might have obstructed. Now they can’t. And the same is true for any other regular committee which has any knowledge or evidence.\u00a0 GlennKirschner will go even farther in his video in today’s Video Thread.<\/p>\n
