According to Andrew Weissmann, Blanche using sleight of hand; they’re not killing the deal. Trump still gets $1.776 billion. He still gets a sweeping civil liability shield. They only removed the J6 slush fund piece. Same jackpot. Less scrutiny. Worse than before.

With majority-Black voting districts being eliminated across the country, now is the time to recognize that none of us can afford to stay politically asleep, Anneshia Hardy writes.

Climate change has put the oceans in deep trouble, and now the Trump admin is ditching a $368 million deep-sea monitoring system. https://t.co/KSBFQAcdLy

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

Following a Trump order, USPS proposed a rule on mail-in ballots that could disenfranchise millions of voters.

It would violate a settlement that we, with LDF, negotiated for @NAACP.

We filed a motion to enforce the settlement so that USPS can’t decide who gets to vote by mail.

This is the closest thing to a Dred Scott era decision I've seen from the SCOTUS in my lifetime.

Even 2 Trump appointees and a Clinton appointee unanimously found intentional racial discrimination in the 2023 Alabama map, yet the majority of SCOTUS by 6-3 moved the goalposts and dramatically narrowed protections Congress enacted through the Voting Rights Act, and reaffirmed over and over, since it was originally enacted.

If there's a fix, it has to come from Congress. That's why 2026 and 2028 matter so much. Vote accordingly!

Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for a ruling that “debases the democratic process” by allowing Alabama to use a congressional map that the justices had previously found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. https://t.co/ahoPNpCSNd

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

Overnight, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Republican appointees made it all but impossible to successfully challenge any redistricting map for diluting the votes of or even intentionally discriminating against minority voters.

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

"[J]ust as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos."

1. Real Change PAC, a super PAC that purports to be "committed to progressive values," has spent millions of dollars in Democratic primaries.

It is actually a Republican front closely tied to House Republican leadership.

An email completely exposed the dirty tricks operation.

The sharp rise in youth inactivity since the pandemic corresponds very closely to the deterioration in young people’s health since 2019.

In 2019, 14 per cent of 18-24-year-olds said they had a long-term health condition
which limits their activity; by 2025 this had risen to 21 per cent.
