I have been following this guy's videos for a very long time (since 2018?). When he started, he was posting videos five times per week. I'm glad to see that he's back to the daily cadence.

Suddenly, Trump’s effort to rig the 2026 midterms with corrupt gerrymanders appears in trouble.
A panel of judges just blocked the GOP gerrymander in Texas, which had added five seats.
In Indiana, Republicans currently lack the votes to redraw their congressional map.
Trump is angry about all this.
He lashed out at Indiana Republicans, threatening primaries and calling one opponent “weak” and “pathetic.”
So is the scheme dead?
-- No.

Apparently the US government departments are starting to join Bluesky and are getting ratioed in that the accounts are being blocked more than they are followed.
Doesn't really seem to make sense at first. The US Department Of Transportation isn't going to show up as a reply guy in your mentions and the spooks aren't going to use that account to spy on your posts.
Is the blocking then entirely performative? Because blocks are public they are votes?
I guess really it's people deliberately reading the recommended-for-you AI-driven slop feeds.
Blocked users won't show up in your machine-learning robot-recommended feeds that people apparently must be reading over there.
Just not-following would be enough for me, I don't see things I don't follow. But if you read the robot-DJ feeds then anything can show up, so you have to preemptively block it. If only to train the robot shuffle.

Ben Meiselas is a very busy man.
His “pro-democracy” channel MeidasTouch,
which he runs with his younger brothers Jordan and Brett,
puts out 15 or more videos a day, most of them presented by Meiselas himself.
The prolific output is part of the reason The MeidasTouch has become one of the most listened-to podcasts in the US,
routinely beating the mighty Joe Rogan in both video and audio,
and even overtaking Fox News in YouTube views.
