After calling for an end to partisan gerrymandering, House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) quietly funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to former attorney general Eric Holder s effort to redraw electoral maps in favor of Democrats, filings show.
Pelosi s leadership PAC, PAC to the Future, pushed $300,000 to Holder s National Democratic Redistricting Committee late last year. In 2019, Pelosi said partisan gerrymandering efforts compromise the integrity of our democracy.

London: Britainâs Supreme Court has ruled that Uber drivers are workers and not self-employed and are entitled to benefits like holiday and sick pay, in what unions say is a âhistoricâ decision that could upend the gig economy.
Lawyers claimed drivers could be entitled to as much as £12,000 ($21,000) in compensation as a result of the ruling. Uber argues that drivers are independent contractors and that, even if a driver is a âworkerâ, that is not the same as an âemployeeâ.
The Transport Workersâ Union seized on the ruling and said it had âhuge implications for Australian law,â while the International Transport Workersâ Federation said it sent a âstrong message to gig workers globallyâ.
