A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

Justice Elena Kagan Isn't Mincing Words, About The Voting Rights Act........

Dems running for Congress and POTUS must run on Supreme Court reform. A law forcing justices into senior status after 18 years, applicable to the current bench would do the trick. That would force Roberts, Alito, and Thomas into senior status, opening three seats to be filled immediately. 1/

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

Russia is fighting a country led by a 48yo brilliant president, a 35-year-young Defense Minister , a 40-year-young Head of the President’s office, and a 40-year-young Minister of the Economy. Fedorov was 31 when the war started. Zelenskyy became President right before Covid — at 41.

trump sees "falling" as SO embarrassing, he's LYING on 60 Minutes about what we all saw last night: His ass fell like a sack of rotten potatoes. 60 Minutes didn't even show the clip. But I have 2 different angles. Why lie about it? Such a weird clown.

Trump calls alleged gunman "anti-Christian" when in reality he was very proudly Christian and wrote in his manifesto that his faith called on him to take action: “Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.”

Major update: The security during last night’s White House dinner was lax—I went to the scene and found some bombshells. Heads are set to roll—Kash Patel’s firing could be imminent. Trump and MAGA influencers demand ballroom in unison. The media has begun to normalize Trump. I refuse.

I'm actually glad Victor Blackwell called out how this type of shooting happens every day in schools, malls, etc., in the US., and @brianstelter.bsky.social of @cnn.com agrees.
