It should be noted that Rep Clyburn is a badass. He’s fought these racist fucks for decades. They fear his power, and they should.

The move is a strong rebuke of Trump’s efforts to pressure southern states into passing GOP gerrymanders ahead of the midterms, after the Supreme Court gutted key protections that had long shielded Black voting power from racial gerrymandering.

BREAKING: The South Carolina Senate quashed an effort to redraw the state’s congressional maps to dismantle the state’s sole Democratic district, represented by longtime Rep. Jim Clyburn. Full story to come.

Texas is in dire need of new leadership. They need a senator who actually puts people first. Vote @jamestalarico.bsky.social in the Lone Star State. #VoteBlue

Even as we continue the fight for fair representation in our state, I’m still showing up across the district to meet with constituents and learn about their needs and priorities so I can best represent our community in Congress.

File articles of impeachment against Alito.

I ran for this seat to be a voice for all of Alabama, and I'm not backing down from that mission now. The fight must and will go on. Beyond the courts, we know what has to be done. We will organize, we will register, and we will turnout people in record numbers at the polls.

My hope is that this is a temporary setback and that three-Republican appointed judges will again find what they found the first time: that the State of Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters in drawing its congressional district lines.

This is an incredibly unfortunate decision by the Supreme Court that not only continues their trend of breaking from the norms and precedents set by the Court, but also sets the stage for Alabama to go back to the 1950s and 60s in terms of Black political representation in the state.

California voters — your ballot is here. Fill it out and return it before June 2nd. Housing, affordability, the California we leave our kids — it's all on the ballot. Let's do this.

Trump was up ALL LAST NIGHT posting about OBAMA. Trump has a serious hatred issue since Obama is loved and Trump is despised. But hell, he wants to arrest Obama because he's Black.

13-year NBA veteran Jason Collins has died at 47 years old after a battle with Stage 4 glioblastoma. Collins was the first active, openly gay player in NBA history. RIP.

This is Butterz. He is taking his mac and cheese to go. Has a very important lunch date with himself. 13/10 (TT: gwen_1964)

trump just said the quiet part out loud. Asked whether Americans’ financial situation is motivating his Iran decisions, he said, “Not even a little bit.” Then he added, “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥🔥

Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player who has served as a global ambassador for the sport, has died from brain cancer, his family said. He was 47 www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

@jamestalarico.bsky.social released his plan to tackle the maternal mortality crisis. “On Mother's Day, Talarico released a comprehensive policy strategy to support pregnant and postpartum women, as Black women are three times more likely to die from childbirth-related causes.”

We've created a sweeping constitutional reform amendment that: Abolishes the electoral college Gets ALL money out of politics Bans gerrymandering Sets term limits Mandates ranked choice voting Protects voting and human rights And much more. Full text drops July 4th. Follow us and stay tuned!

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

Time to flip as many red seats to Blue. Time to talk about it & meet about it. Anyone ready to run for Congress?....🗳️💙

Callais wasn't a surprise ruling. It was the finish line of a decades-long campaign to gut minority voting rights. And Republican legislatures across the South sprinted through it before the ink dried. But could it backfire on the very politicians it was designed to protect?

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Grateful to be back in my hometown, talking with voters about how we protect and expand the California Dream for every family. Next stop, San Francisco!

🚨BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Monday that he’s confident Democrats will still win back the House of Representatives, despite Republicans now being poised to come out ahead in President Donald Trump’s redistricting war. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I get your fear, but Gerrymandering isn’t magic or an automatic win for the GOP. It gives them better odds than before, but it’s not a guarantee, so Jeffries is correct in saying it won’t save them.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The foundation of our democracy is burning to the ground. The conservative Roberts Court did not light the match, but it has repeatedly declared fire hydrants, sprinklers and smoke detectors illegal. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Tennessee’s congressional gerrymander, which wiped out the state’s only Black-majority district, has drawn another lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Missouri Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in three challenges to a Republican gerrymander that aims to not only flip a congressional seat to the GOP, but also to override the will of Missouri voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It also raises serious questions about the fairness of the democratic process itself.

Suspending an election after votes are cast and calling it "not a big deal" really undermines voter confidence. 😬

"Is this the dagger?" 7 years ago today, Kawhi Leonard made one of the most iconic game-winners in NBA playoff history, sending the Raptors to the Eastern Conference Finals 🤯 And the rest is history. #NBA
