The systematic way in which states across the south have moved to strip representation from Black and Brown voters is proof that the Voting Rights Act is still critically needed.

What’s happening now is what it was designed to prevent.

@atrupar When will people start pushing back on him insulting them? I could not sit in a room where he is attacking women and be OK with it.

Trump, sounding very tired, attacks a woman reporter for not smiling more

MADELEINE DEAN: How many people were killed simply trying to access food sites in Gaza?

RUBIO: Well, since Hamas killed them, you should ask what their role was

DEAN: IDF soldiers shot some of them. Propaganda ain't gonna work with me

The NAACP is condemning the U.S. Supreme Court's latest decision allowing Alabama to use a congressional map previously found to be intentionally discriminatory against Black voters, warning that the ruling marks another dangerous step in the dismantling of voting rights in the state and across the country.

The Court's action follows its most recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which has triggered racial gerrymandering efforts across the South.

@PMastersMusic @HunterBiden Patrick - you are fucking ugly inside and out. Your poor mother.

The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. https://t.co/xebgKgDzyb

We must face the reality that the Supreme Court has been captured by partisan hacks and ideological extremists.

Trump refers to himself as "one of the finest intellects in the history of our country"

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

President Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. That means it has now been one week since he has appeared publicly for anything besides a pre-taped interview. His last public event was his cabinet meeting last Wednesday, one day after his trip to Walter Reed.

NEW: This announcement has sparked a big pushback from major building unions, now working to kill the bill and the moratorium (or urge a future Hochul veto).

Updates coming.

New: Sources familiar tell me the governor is set to nominate a formerly incarcerated person to fill out the three-person Commission of Correction. The body oversees correctional facilities and conditions/standards therin for incarcerated people

[Matt Royer @royermattw]

Every time the shadow docket has touched a contested map, the outcome favors Republicans.

Texas gerrymander: allowed.

New York Democratic flip: blocked.

Louisiana: VRA gutted.

Virginia Democratic map: refused to save it.

Alabama: a Black district erased.

Same direction every time.

[Jim MacFawn @JimmyFNmac]

@GovPressOffice @joncoopertweets Britni highlights this beautifully

[Britni Danielle @BritniDWrites]

So Virginia can't use their new map, which was approved by voters. But Alabama can?

But sure, SCOTUS isn't "political"
