Terrific thread. I’ll just add: 1. I think there’s a good chance the Supreme Court will stay this decision, allowing providers to keep mailing mifepristone for the time being. 2. The Trump administration didn’t want this! Its plan was to wait until after the midterms to crack down on mifepristone.

The ruling could trigger the largest drop in Black congressional representation since Reconstruction and reshape maps at every level of government

"The Congress shall have Power... To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal... To raise and support Armies... To provide and maintain a Navy" See, totally unconstitutional

The high court’s decision to effectively neuter a key section of the Civil Rights Era law is likely to ripple into the battleground state’s next redistricting cycle. Experts said its full implications for the state’s maps remain unclear. story via @sashahupka.bsky.social & @votebeat.org

“That is just an indefensible decision. Their ruling on DACA is a clear escalation in President Trump’s crusade to strip protections from DACA recipients. He is attacking the program from every angle.”

The court found the attorney general's privilege log was too vague, redactions were unjustified and the office searched only a fraction of the records requested story via @jimsmall.bsky.social

Before Wednesday, the redistricting war was essentially a wash. But the court’s decision gives Republicans more options to gain the upper hand this year, if states can move quickly.

“It will pave the way for the greatest reduction in representation for Black and minority voters since the years following Reconstruction.”

Ending TPS is part of Trump’s broader effort to curtail immigration and strip legal status, creating thousands of newly unauthorized immigrants in order to subject them to his mass deportation drive

There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.

And to be clear, in case it’s not, democracy cannot and will not exist without these protections. We already see a South so heavily gerrymandered that numerical majorities cannot win elections and where a minority holds supermajorities in state legislatures.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Arizona voters' personal identifying information does not belong in the hands of the federal government. This ruling affirms that the DOJ’s attempt to obtain that information from our state is blatant overreach. azmirror.com/briefs/arizo...

More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.

The Trump administration is now 0-for-6 in court trying to force states to surrender voter registration data

The new indictment marked another escalation in the Trump administration’s efforts to prosecute Comey and other political enemies

An unbelievably frivolous indictment, even by the standards of this DOJ

“I don’t know why he’s making this more complicated than it needs to be. Our bill, which passed the Senate 100 to zero, would pass the House easily.”

Hey everybody, we found the weaponization of government! This shows that Blanche and the DOJ will go to the most extremely absurd lengths to serve Dear Leader. Calling this a banana republic move would be an insult to banana republics. It's clown-car authoritarianism and an unhinged abuse of power.

Statue of limitations has not expired on this tweet.

If the charges are over alleged threats Comey made by posting “8647,” that indictment is not long for this world. As Todd Blanche is well aware, 8647 is not even close to being a true threat. Not to mention that Comey said he didn’t know the phrase was associated with violence!

You really cannot overestimate the level of status trauma a lot of white Americans experienced at the election of Barack Obama and how much of our politics is still influenced by it bsky.app/profile/beau...

Let me get this straight: Bari Weiss has radically edited the new Trump interview on 60 Minutes? Let's not forget that Weiss lost her mind over standard editing of a Kamala Harris interview in 2024. But as Juliet shows, this Trump editing goes way beyond standard broadcast practices. Good grief.
