Seems we have the lowest representation of House members to population in the world, among nations who say they are democratic.
A discussion by Elie Mystal on Fresh Air took ne down this rabbit hole---I had no idea, and I wonder of many people do?

Elie Mystal at The Nation points out the (obvious) racist attitude in the list of recent fires (or is it “lay off?) at MSNBC. His personal experience of Joy Reid’s work to expand the tv expert commentary pool is an important argument. Her (virtual) Rolodex is more valuable than anyone else’s on the network. #MSNBC #msnbcfail #msnbctoowhite #ReidOut #massacre #JoyReid #ElieMystal https://www.thenation.com/article/society/joy-reid-reidout-cancellation/?utm_source=Sailthru
The Nation · The Value of JoyBy canceling Joy Reid’s cable news show, MSNBC has not only silenced a brilliant host: It’s silenced the next Black voice you haven’t yet heard.
#JoyReid’s #MSNBC show #TheReidOut is cancelled.
“I owe the television part of my career to Joy Reid, as do so many other #Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her,” #journalist #ElieMystal posted on social media. “And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.”
"#Project2025 is a plan to steal power through executive action, knowing that neither the #courts nor anyone is able to stop them." --#ElieMystal nails it on MSNBC just now." #TrumpDictatorship
A Line-by-Line Breakdown of #Trump’s #BirthrightCitizenship Executive Order
Like a clogged sewer erupting into the streets, Donald Trump returned to office on Mon, &, as promised, unleashed his filth upon the country. In a flurry of #lawless, #unconstitutional, #racist, #bigoted, #violent, &, in some cases, plainly stupid #ExecutiveOrders & #pardons, Trump set his reign of #terror in motion. The future we feared has officially arrived.

The Nation · A Line-by-Line Breakdown of Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Executive OrderAlmost every sentence of the order is wrong, misleading, or flagrantly unconstitutional.
"But they [media] will cover a sitting Congressperson standing w/activists to prevent a bus full of immigrants from rolling across the border...differently. They will cover a bunch of Senators shuttling undocumented immigrants into National Cathedral & claiming “sanctuary” while daring Pam Bondi & Kristi Noem to shoot their way inside _like the national crisis it is_."

The #SupremeCourt's Hearing on #TransRights 
Was Bigotry Masquerading As #Law
by #ElieMystal
#TransAndNonbinaryRightsAreHumanRights 
#ProtectTransKids #TN #Tennessee
Decision in spring 2025
FYI: Protect Children's Innocence Act is an antiTrans HATE bill by ogre MTG, #MarjoryTaylorGreene 
, and signed onto by scumbag #JDVance
America: You HAVE TO STOP these #Christofascist scumbag ogres. And the #farright KNOWS they are KILLING #transyouth!! They WANT #transkids to unalive themselves, the want transpeople to suffer, and my fear is the #UK #farright copycats will brainlessly follow along and like Beavis, say 'me too, me too,heh, heh, me too'
The Nation · The Supreme Court’s Hearing on Trans Rights Was Bigotry Masquerading as LawThe conservative majority spent much of the oral arguments for US v. Skrmetti trying to erase the trans community.
In a better world, Elie Mystal would be one of 29 US Supreme Court justices
"People need to stop asking Democrats to play by different rules than Republicans, and they need to stop asking Biden to be a worse father than any of us would be in his place."

This Elie Mystal article has me shook. It describes how Republicans can game the system to "win" even if they lose. I want to hear from other lawyers and constitutional scholars about this. I want to know what we can do if it happens.
