White voters haven’t voted majority Democratic since the passage of the Civil Rights Act more than 50 years ago. Today, more white folks need to talk to each other about what Republicans are pulling off, and be willing to call it out for what it is: white supremacy in action.

There are some hard truths here, and every Democrat needs to watch this segment. African Americans are being targeted because we are the most consistent Democratic voting bloc. The GOP knows this. Every Democrat must start speaking with one voice about court reform. 🧵

What makes me different as an elections analyst is that I understand that two things explain most of vote choice and that is out-party vs in-party fundamentals and partisanship. Every single cycle since the War.

No one should hold power for life: 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices would mean more regular presidential appointments. Justices wouldn’t time their retirements based on who would appoint their successor. Watch The Briefing with Michael Waldman:

This is hypocrisy at its finest. Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom has gone from costing $200 million funded by shady donors to $1 BILLION from TAXPAYERS—snuck into the ICE bill by Senate Republicans. But Trump wants to prosecute Powell for cost overruns of the Fed's renovation.
