A ruling out of the 8th Circuit today cut off the ability of voters in a large swath of the middle of the country to enforce their rights against race discrimination in voting under the Voting Rights Act. This is deeply problematic. Here's why. (1/3)

Good article on the need to support election administration (
cyberscoop.com/state-local-...
). Last year, I supported the $400 million number. With cuts to CISA and the known cyber-attacks on democracy in Romania, this number should be increased. Congress should also act to reverse all cuts to CISA.

To review: Putin's intelligence service hacked the DNC email system in '16 to help Trump. In '16, Putin offered Trump a Moscow building development deal. Trump’s '16 campaign chair, Paul Manafort, was in business with a Russian intelligence officer. Those are just the things in the Mueller report.

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters *right now* that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
