Yes, this

This 👇🏾

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. 🧵

I wrote this in 2016.

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.

Since Trump took office in January 2025, more than 2.7 million credit reporting complaints submitted to the CFPB have gone without relief, a higher rate than in the past. It’s left people at risk of being denied loans, housing or employment.

Americans should be confident in the elaborate processes that election officials use to secure voter registration databases. bit.ly/4tjHbIM

Both Republican and Democratic election officials have resisted the administration’s attempts to gather troves of sensitive voter data and upend the way our elections work. bit.ly/49iHMmM

NEW: The Trump administration has granted more than 180 polluting facilities nationwide a two-year pause on compliance with Clean Air Act rules. All they had to do was send an email.

We need more leadership like this. @crockett.house.gov will be sorely missed. Hope if Talarico prevails, he will be up to the task. Congresswoman Crockett has set a high bar

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: bit.ly/4wjhSJC

Alito flew multiple flags tied to Jan 6 insurrectionists. Thomas just gave a speech on how "progressivism" is destroying the country — plus his wife was involved in the Jan 6 plot. And Roberts has pushed "shadow docket" cases where justices make decisions without explaining themselves. Please.

"The right never lost their faith that if they were patient and determined enough, the 1960s could be undone — and maybe some of the 1860s too. They knew that even after a statue of a slaveholding traitor is torn down, defeat is not permanent. In fact, that statue may *literally* be raised back up."

GOP meddling? A mysterious new group is suddenly running ads in this month's Democratic primaries for a pair of swing House seats in Nebraska and Pennsylvania. Punchbowl News flags that its website has metadata from WinRed, the *Republican* fundraising platform.

Any historian will tell you that Trump’s corruption has no parallel.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Urge Democrats to Fiercely Oppose the New GOP Effort to Shovel Billions More Dollars to ICE and Border Patrol act.indivisible.org/sign/urge-de...

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.

Yes.

50 years ago, the Supreme Court made a consequential ruling on campaign finance reform that doesn't get enough attention today. But it opened the floodgates to big money spending in our elections — and the corporate takeover of American politics. Here's what you should know.

The Supreme Court’s recent Voting Rights Act decision actually glorifies partisan gerrymandering. Here’s what to do about it: bit.ly/48IeZYC

If you only read the media coverage, or the outraged tweets, you would not know the professor who honored pro-Palestine students at Michigan's graduation also honored Jewish students and Black students — or that he shared similar sentiments just months ago:

Republicans Unveil Map Carving Up Tennessee’s Majority-Black House District www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/u...

In yet another Dem overperformance last night, Democrat Chedrick Greene won by 9 points in a state Senate seat Kamala Harris barely carried. Democrats will retain control of the chamber through 2026. The midterm momentum is against Trump and the GOP — which is why they're fighting to rig the maps.

NERC is getting serious about the risks data centers pose to the grid. A "level three alert" is a pretty big deal.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 1 MAY 2026 THESE HORRID TIMES Late today The conservative 5th circuit court just blocked nationwide access to Mifepristone. The abortion pill. IT CAN NO LONGER BE PERSCRIBED & DELIVERED BY MAIL This will now bring on a SCOTUS SHOW DOWN Women Will DIE OUTRAGE !

The white nationalist agenda, got dressed up in legal language. Governors can carve out majority-white districts… but the second it’s about creating a majority Black or Hispanic district, it’s illegal? Let’s be honest about where this is headed, Black representation in the South gets wiped out.

Could someone please tell me why the judge restricting mifepristone isn’t the lead story every where? They are escalating their assault on control of women’s bodies! www.nbcnews.com/health/women...
