NEW: For decades, the DOJ relied on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to foil and forestall attempts to discriminate against minority voters. On Wednesday, the DOJ filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to devastate and vitiate much of what’s left of the landmark civil rights legislation.

Join me today, with National Association of Real Estate Brokers @meeks.house.gov @cleaver.house.gov & others to examine how appraisal bias is quietly stripping Black & Latino families of generational wealth. @ Walter Washington Convention Center, D.C.

Who Burned the Bronx? Bench Ansfield’s Born in Flames argues that landlords—driven by financialization and the development of insurance “brownlining” in the 1960s and 1970s—are largely to blame. newrepublic.com/article/2007...

Thank you @warren.senate.gov & @fedworkersunited.bsky.social 4 amplifying revelations from HUD employees about rollbacks in fair housing enforcement for people facing housing discrimination. Veterans, survivors of domestic violence and sexual harassment, and families w/ children are being harmed.

🚨 Sen. Elizabeth Warren and HUD whistleblowers are speaking out. HUD Secretary Scott Turner, other political appointees, are dismantling civil-rights enforcement, placing HUD on “an unalterable course” toward violating federal law and endangering the public. www.federalunionists.net/press/whistl...

For the record Science is not done by feelings and emotions. There is a process, peer review and publication of data publicly for critique.

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

Tylenol, you in danger, girl!

I joined KIQI last week to discuss the Supreme Court’s recent ruling to allow racial profiling in immigration raids. It particularly endangers Latino communities, but when the 4th Amendment doesn’t exist for one group, it doesn’t exist for anyone.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

BREAKING: Democrat Xp Lee wins the Minnesota House special election to fill the seat of Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated in June.

One of the greats has passed. Robert Redford was a celebrated actor, director, and someone who held a mirror up to America. His work will live on, but we Ordinary People will feel The Sting of his loss for years. Rest among the stars now, and when you see heaven, may a River Run Through It.

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

Wow. History made. Clipse just became the first hip-hop act ever to perform at the Vatican, backed by John Legend and the Voices of Free orchestra. They performed “The Birds Don’t Sing.”

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

Laurens, Union, Spartanburg, Sumter, Bennettsville, Hartsville, Lake City, Myrtle Beach, and many other cities in S Carolina have higher crime rates than D.C. Maybe the SC National Guard needs to be deployed to those cities.

Lockland, Elwood Place, Canton, Springfield, and other cities in Ohio all have higher crime rates than Washington, D.C. Perhaps the Ohio National Guard should have remained there.

In October, we published secret recordings of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term. It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism.

This is exactly why the District of Columbia needs statehood now!

At a time when we have a president who wants to halt Black progress, silence Black voices, and erase Black history… I’m thankful for this 🙏🏽

RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

300,000 Black women have left the labor market in a three month period this year, and it's estimated that the unemployment rate for Black women is as high as ten percent but none of this is getting much traction. So, I wrote about it on my blog. blackgirlinmaine.com/commentary/f...

The law was introduced after sheriff’s Deputy Julio Alvarado failed to write a report about his slamming of a Black woman to the ground in a 2021 viral video, despite a policy that officers document each time they use force. —in partnership with @propublica.org veritenews.org/2025/07/23/l...

Snatched from immigration court as he tries to follow the rules. Sent to who knows where, for who knows how long. While Trump and Stephen Miller’s private prison friends and ICE rake in billions.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man. Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

When you strip away humanity

We have got to pass stronger laws to protect innocent people. Law enforcement officers should not be celebrating beating, tasing, harassing, and abusing innocent people. LEOs who engage in these practices should be fired.

Our hearts go out to the family of Terrance Taylor and @hoyer.house.gov & his staff. We join you in mourning the loss of Terrance Taylor, a true patriot and warrior for justice and democracy. Terry gave so much to so many and will be dearly missed. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

He connected the dots between the money, the merger, and the pressure he might face. He essentially predicted his own cancellation on air. https://trib.al/5NGd6O4

Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago. I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell. Give it a watch and share it.

Thank you @kevinmkruse.bsky.social. This is GREAT! Thank you @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social. Brilliant.
