What the President Could Do If He Declares a State of Emergency
From seizing control of the internet to declaring martial law, President Trump may legally do all kinds of extraordinary things.

I feel like the Brennan Center has kind of lost their credibility after their "analysis" that Democrats needed at least an 11 or 12 point vote margin to take the House; which was immediately attacked by polling data folks and was extremely debunked by the actual election results. Last I saw, Democrats would've still had a, very slight, majority with about a 3.5% win.

Which is to say, its not that they don't have a point; gerrymandering is definitely bad and Democrats (and Republicans) should be able to have a House majority with a 1% win, if not less. But they exaggerate these points far beyond what's reasonable, to get more coverage; and it just looks pollyannaish.
