Because if not, what does “creedal nation” mean?
NOVEMBER PREVIEW (MISSISSIPPI EDITION): ‘Earliest Opportunity’ — Gov Opens Door To Redrawing Maps After SCOTUS Nukes Race-Based Districting.
Mississippi, Reeves said, now has three separate redistricting fights in play.
“We have Supreme Court districts, we have congressional districts – which is what everybody in Washington, D.C., cares about — and then we have legislative districts,” Reeves said.
The most immediate issue is Mississippi’s state Supreme Court map. A federal judge ruled last year that Mississippi’s three Supreme Court districts violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, triggering a remedial phase that could force lawmakers to redraw the districts.
“My initial call for a special session … was specifically for Supreme Court redistricting in the event that the federal judge forced our legislature to redraw those districts,” Reeves said.
But the governor made clear that the special session may not stop there.
“I have the ability as governor, constitutionally, to either remove that call of the special session or to add to it for the purposes of any other topic, which could include other redistricting matters,” Reeves explained.
Well, get to it.

CALIFORNIA: Experts stress energy independence as gas prices rise.
With so much of the state’s crude oil supply coming from other parts of the world, energy industry experts told lawmakers that regulations are to blame for rising energy prices and volatility.
“California’s petroleum system has been weakened by design,” Jodie Muller, the president and CEO of the Western States Petroleum Association, testified on Tuesday afternoon. “For years, state policies have pushed the refining sector to contraction, with predictable consequences – less in-state production, reduced resilience and higher costs for Californians.”
The current system has very little margin for error because of the declining number of oil refineries in the state, Muller told lawmakers.
“We are now at an inflection point,” Muller said. “Additional policy pressures risk pushing the remaining refineries past the breaking point. We are still seeing hostile legislation by your colleagues.”
Decline is a choice California seems happy to make.

HEY, BIG SPENDER: Elon Musk’s Terafab chip factory in Texas could cost up to $119 billion, filing shows.
Musk, who’s also CEO of Tesla, is aiming for Terafab to be the “most epic chip-building effort ever — combining logic, memory and advanced packaging under one roof,” according to a post on X last month from SpaceX, which now owns artificial intelligence company xAI. Musk officially launched the project in March.
The chip complex outside Austin would be designed to manufacture chips for SpaceX, xAI and Tesla, and would be jointly built by those companies. Musk said in a post on X that xAI “will be dissolved as a separate company” and will be called SpaceXAI.
In April, Intel announced it will be joining the Terafab project to help “design, fabricate, and package ultra-high-performance chips at scale.” It’s the first major outside commitment for the capital-intensive foundry side of Intel’s business, which to date has only manufactured chips for its own products.
During Tesla’s first-quarter earnings call last month, Musk said Tesla plans to use Intel’s forthcoming 14A process to produce chips at the facility. Intel’s stock popped on the news and had its best month ever in April, more than doubling in value.
Intel has struggled with new fab processes for quite a few years now, and 14A — a leapfrog attempt to get to 1.4nm-class manufacturing — could be make or break for the company.
Here’s to hoping that an infusion of Musk-level capital helps do the trick.
One last thing: Oftentimes it seems like Musk’s commitment to American manufacturing is underappreciated.
IT’S A CRAZY THOUGHT, BUT JUST MAYBE.
Allowing Democrat justices to delay the redistricting decision for months solely for political reasons after allowing them to delay Dobbs—even after it was leaked and Roberts’ conservative colleagues were being targeted for assassination—might be a major reason why people think… https://t.co/4oJnGT7knm
