Some Democratic lawmakers see racism in New York redistricting process
CBSN
A new map for New York's congressional districts has thrown the state's delegation into chaos, likely forcing incumbents to compete against each other for seats and inviting charges of racism against the man who drew the map and each other.
New York Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney is on the receiving end of much of that ire. It's his job as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair to help his fellow Democrats win their races. Maloney currently represents the 18th Congressional District, which includes much of Hudson Valley. But when the new map drawn by a court-ordered special master put Maloney's actual house in the new 17th District – currently represented by freshman Mondaire Jones – Maloney wasted little time before declaring he would run in the new 17th District
A majority of Maloney's constituents, whom he has represented since he was elected in 2012, still live in the 18th District, while most of Jones' constituents still live within the bounds of the 17th District (members are not required to live in the district they represent). Maloney is now the only representative who lives within the bounds of the district, which he was quick to point out on Twitter. But if Jones were to run in the district where his White Plains home is located, he would have to compete against Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a fellow young Black progressive.

On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
