If Dems in CA and NY threatened to get rid of the independent commissions and out-gerrymander Republicans? Wouldn’t the threat of this be enough to keep Republicans in check?

I think the actual end goal would be to do it and then throw it to the Roberts court. Maybe then they'll finally decide on a reasonable standard to determine if something is gerrymandered unfairly(probably a better legal term than unfairly).

Yes...the GOP in the House primarily come from the other gerrymandered states. I’m saying NY and CA’s threats don’t hold any water because the Dems can do it but the Reps would still get their power from the other states.

For the record I think gerrymandering is undemocratic af. I just want a national solution for independent district commissions rather than “well two can play at that game”

We have 6 conservative justices. I don’t fancy our chances in SCOTUS. 😩

Not really because while CA and NY are two very populous states, they are still only two. Reps still hold state legislatures in the rest of the rural states.

Its 11 GOP (CA) and 8 GOP (NY).

Does anyone know if we can reimburse expenses for items listed in Wageworks while on maternity?

I know we cannot expense phone/internet/ commuter benefit as I am not actively doing work.

However, for other items that fall under wage works reimbursement, I couldn’t find anything in writing yet.

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
