WH does damage control after Trump dozes off in the Oval, a new lawsuit against the Reflecting Pool renovations, Iran warns of retaliation, Hegseth's new threats on Sen. Kelly, and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

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.

If it were me, I'd stop everything and call all Dem electeds (city, county, state, and Federal) together over a series of 4 weeks in June in 4 regions of the country to discuss the existential threat (& strategy to resist)... Week 1 - all city/town electeds, Week 2 - all county electeds etc etc etc

once again, just spitballing, what if we just provided for everyone's basic material needs

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

It’s very simple: the 6 republican Supreme Court justices are functionally no different than klansmen

They could not be clearer. Their goal is the restoration of white supremacy and the disenfranchisement of voters of color, a return to the days before the VRA and the entrenchment of permanent Republican dominance.

In a stunning win for Republican fascists and gift to the most corrupt president in American history, the white supremacist wing of the Supreme Court is allowing Alabama to eliminate one of two predominately Black congressional districts before this year's midterm elections.

There is really no sense in which it’s accurate to call the radical SCOTUS majority “conservative” justices. Call them what they are: the Republican justices.

🚨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/...

Happy Monday! Officially on my way to Florida for an Oversight hearing with Epstein survivors, then back to DC. Grateful to break ground on a new school for To’Hajiilee, celebrate new community center grounds in Tijeras, and welcome the opening of new family and housing services on the West Side.

two things. 1. when the trump administration says that something is “illegal DEI” they are saying “you don’t deserve this” 2. the practical effect of destroying the VRA is to make it nearly futile for these americans to get relief from congress

Last few days I've been having total flashbacks to the early days of the pandemic whenever I hear him talk, and here we are again.

I am one of those angered because WTF. Use every tool in your arsenal or lose our democracy. They’re not playing fair and neither should we.

As if he hasn't slept through every event in the Oval recently, just like he slept through his entire trial.

Oh great. Another complete waste of taxpayer money.

Just sat there fuming at the gas pump today as I filled my tank and it was twice as much as it was three months ago. MAD mad.

Sadly, the Supreme Court’s decision that partisan-based mapmaking (and partisan map trashing) is non-reviewable by federal courts has all but predetermined the outcome, and it won’t likely be in Democrats’ favor. The damage the Rucho decision has done just keeps becoming more evident.

Priorities dontcha know

🔥 @chelseahandler.bsky.social : “Now that your favorite leader is making the draft mandatory, I assume all of you will be signing up to go fight in Iran… Or do you tough-talking pussies only go to the Middle East for comedy festivals?”

Cole Allen, the alleged assassin, pleaded Not Guilty today to his current charges. I've got the latest on his case, incl. a motion to DQ Pirro & Blanche. And I connect the dots on how this is prosecution is linked to Trump & the GOP's billion dollar ballroom scheme. youtu.be/908Tmr6DHM8?...

When “senior administration officials” continue to lie to you day after day, week after week, so they can use your media platform to launder lies and manipulate people, how long do you keep doing it because they are “scoops” that get lots of clicks?

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED HERE.......

It just kills me when he talks about a fair and clean election when it is he and the MEpublicans trying to suppress or stop by any means necessary a full vote for everyone (especially black voters) and the MAGA morons are eating their lies up like a steak & lobster dinner! #DisgustedVeteran 😢🇺🇸😢

Trump's latest attack on me is as unhinged as ever. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. If you want to help me in the fight for free and fair elections (and really piss off Trump), subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I wonder if trump drained the reflecting pool to flood a nearby server room that contained video evidence of him obstructing justice.

The 2nd Amendment was meant for such a time as this.

If only we knew how this turned out in France...

DEMENTIA DON !!!!

So the Trump Admin can release all the classified files about ALIENS over the last 75 years, but they still can’t manage to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES???

The world is laughing at Trump’s grift

TRUE!!

It’s not OK for Donald Trump to call a reporter a “bitch,” but perhaps it’s appropriate to call Brendan Carr one.

HUGE: @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom just announced FREE diapers for all California newborns! Rollout begins this summer!!

ARE WE IN THE GOLDEN ERA WE WERE PROMISED?

With our team of 60 lawyers, Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 43 states plus DC. Perhaps someone should ask the law firms with thousands of lawyers how many pro-democracy cases they are handling. For most, the answer is zero.

🎯🎯

Maybe you could text someone in your life who is grieving today and let them know you are thinking of them. Send the text.

And we all know that districts that Trump historically won by less that 10 points are up for grabs this year. Let’s get to work.

I wish people understood how much unseen labor goes into every visible ounce of activism and how much labor by so many people towards change is deliberately invisible and never meant to be known
