Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SCOTUS, which ordered Alabama to create a second Black opportunity district just 3 years ago, has lifted that order a week before the primary. The Purcell principle says courts shouldn't permit chaos too close to an election—it's now an open question whether there will even be a primary on schedule.

I have been a vocal critic of gerrymandering. But the Supreme Court has unleashed the Republican Party on a gerrymandering spree. Democrats must respond in kind, removing any incentive for Republican states to gerrymander. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

People need to start to understand what happens when you fire the inspectors.

This is the scene at the Tennessee Capitol as we get closer to a final vote.

#OTD in 2020, Rockford Peaches pitcher Mary Pratt died at age 101. One of the first members of the Peaches, the team at the heart of the movie "A League of Their Own." A southpaw, she used her famous "controlled slingshot" to pitch a no-hitter in June 1944. I ❤️ #baseball ⚾️

Lindsey Graham's South Carolina seat is up for grabs in the South Carolina midterms, and pediatrician Dr. Annie Andrews is determined to seize the opportunity to let him retire to Disneyland for good. The Damage Report's John Iadarola breaks it down. youtube.com/watch?v=Y6fJ...

Final section for the "East Wing Modernization Project" - aka the ballroom Here's the section so you can read, but it provides $1 bn for security-related aspects of the ballroom It makes clear it can't be used for non-security parts of the ballroom Nonetheless, taxpayer dollars for the ballroom

Lately there's been many GOP analysts on TV falsely claiming New England has 40% GOP but are underrepresented due to gerrymandering. Not one NE state has a majority GOP. RI- 14%, CT-22%, ME-30%, NH-32%, VT-21%, MA-8%. Either registered Independents or Dems beat out registered GOP in each state.

Hey—remember when SCOTUS slow-walked every single election-year case involving Donald Trump? Hey—remember when SCOTUS said that Alabama could use a racist map for the next election because it was too close to an election to change it? Here's the opposite result undergirded by the same partisanship

This is an excellent question.

Republicans made clear they would not be deterred by Democrats simply matching them seat for seat. The only way to stop them was to make clear that Democrats will go further than they will — and mean it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Duffy on ABC’s ThisWeek is following White House orders to blame Biden for Spirit’s closing. He falsely claims Spirit “immediately” filed for bankruptcy when the merger was blocked. They filed for bankruptcy last summer, under Trump, when the push for the merger took place in 2022-2023.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

ICYMI: Voters in Louisiana are suing the state after the governor suspended an active election, warning that the state’s actions threaten to disenfranchise voters and undermine the integrity of the election. Experts call the situation unprecedented.

@bruinsnhlbot.bsky.social Sweeny built a team of 3rd and 4th liners, leaving offensively talented players in Province. If it weren't for Swayman, they most likely wouldn't have even made the playoffs. He and Neely proudly claimed the Bs would be "hard to play against". Other teams didn't think so.

Trump is withdrawing 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany, weakening one of America’s most important strategic footholds. As @markhertling.bsky.social wrote, Europe isn’t a burden on American power, but one of the main reasons American power can reach the world. Read about what we're giving up:

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the National Council of Jewish Women and Louisiana voters, my law firm has sued Governor Jeff Landry (R) and Secretary of State Nancy Landry (R), challenging the state’s decision to suspend the 2026 congressional primary elections. www.democracydocket.com/cases/louisi...

Rick Scott’s net worth is $515 million.

Today, after 75 days, Republicans finally passed the same DHS funding bill they could have passed back in February — a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard without giving a penny to Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP.  75 days of pure political theater. Total incompetence.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

Evidence that James Comey’s absurd seashells indictment is selective and vindictive:

Everyone should try to watch all of @atrupar.com clips of Kegs 'testimony' today. Members are asking real questions, Kegs is insane, lying and shameful.

CROW: Does Mr. Parlatore represent foreign governments or persons in his private law practice? HEGSETH: I don't know CROW: You don't know? Somebody who is sitting in your meetings as a special adviser -- you don't know?

Donald Trump is the crassest, most crude, and needy person to ever do diplomacy.

🚨BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) Monday unveiled a new gerrymandered congressional map that seeks to carve out four additional GOP-friendly seats in the Sunshine State. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/... My promise: If Florida enacts this, it will be sued.

He will vote for it.

“If you don’t think $400M of TAXPAYER money is a good investment to create a secure facility at the White House…” -Lindsey Graham We warned you that the taxpayers were going to pay for his ballroom.

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

🚨 BREAKING: A sweeping anti-voting initiative has qualified for California's November ballot. Backed by GOP allies, it adds new mail-in ballot rules and costly verification systems critics say could restrict voting access.

I wish the news cycle would slow down enough that really important stuff doesn't keep getting glossed over and forgotten. Firing every member of the national science board is dangerous and insane, as is a president declaring a war on science. www.rawstory.com/trump-scienc...

Tell me again that shit wasn’t staged.

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

BRENNAN: The shooter had multiple weapons. You said he traveled from CA across the country by train. How did he do that? BLANCHE: This isn't about making laws more restrictive BRENNAN: I'm asking about crossing state lines w/firearms BLANCHE: I don't think that's something we should be focused on

So, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff was the one who tried to start the USA chant? Imagine that. Shots fired! Get down! And the White House Deputy Chief of Staff is trying to start the USA chant. Just like Butler. Because when shots are fired, that’s the first thing out of my mind and mouth!

The mentalist who was performing at the dinner last night is on the Sunday morning shows, going out of his way to claim Secret Service agents shoved Trump to the ground. From the multiple video views, it’s obvious Trump stumbled and the agents quickly picked him and rushed him off.

Ha! Good catch, lol. 😂

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

Every publication should publish the names and outlets of the people who attend tonight because most of us will want to be sure we never make the mistake of listening to them again.

Breaking: US belatedly admits US base in Kuwait was bombed by a VIETNAM ERA IRANIAN JET. Absolute WTF!!!??

New photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show service members receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some troops have lost significant weight and aren’t receiving care packages—while the Pentagon denies any shortages. (Newsweek)

Our country is so fucked. Thank Christ we have people like Rep. Stansbury trying to fight her hardest for our nation.

Why is @ms.now covering the Trump gang takeover of tonights Correspondents Dinner? Trump craves publicity and they’re giving it to him! He’s only going to bash them, call them fake news and try to humiliate them. Now they’re bending over for him!

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.
