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
Another shameful ruling to erase Black voters from a Supreme Court that has lost all credibility.
@TheBlackCaucus will not stop standing up, speaking out, and fighting back until we restore the vote for Black Americans
🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a federal court found intentionally discriminates against Black voters, effectively blessing racial gerrymandering.

America is at war.
Trump’s decision to put our country at risk by handing the nation’s top intelligence job to a random political lackey is reckless, insulting, and dangerous.
The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized".
That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.
Sen. Shaheen grills Rubio: "In 2017, you wrote as a Senator that Vladimir Putin will never be a trusted ally or a reliable, constructive partner.
But since taking office, you, President, Vice President, Steve Witkoff — not one of you has been to Ukraine.
And yet, your envoys talk to Putin on regular basis. President has invited him, given him red-carpet treatment on American soil, but yet you won't come up here and brief Congress on any of it.
Decisions Congress has made on Russia have been systematically undermined. Congress passed support for Ukraine, but administration has slow-walked it.
Instead of sanctioning Russia, administration issued oil licenses that have sent billions to Moscow. Congress has asked what this approach has produced.
Russia has conducted five times more drone strikes on Ukraine since 2024. More U.S. businesses are being directly targeted than at any point in this conflict.
Russia is providing targeting intelligence to help Iran hit our facilities and personnel in the Middle East, while we're helping them fund this war."
BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period
IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement?
BLANCHE: The Constitution
IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery
This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.
🚨 BOMBSHELL: Senator Jeanne Shaheen confirms the Trump administration secretly handed Vladimir Putin a massive financial lifeline.
Washington intentionally removed sanctions on Russian oil, giving Moscow a massive windfall of cash during a global crisis.
The Trump administration is sending ships to rip 900 ocean sensors out of the Atlantic and Pacific — and Congress already told them twice they couldn't do it.**
They're doing it anyway.
🚨THIS IS INFURIATING.
Watch how Republicans try to end Rep. Dean’s time almost THREE MINUTES EARLY when she starts asking Todd Blanche about Epstein.
Absolutely disgusting.
Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."
Article below: "If humans continue overfishing at the current rate, the planet will run out of seafood by 2048 with catastrophic consequences"
Also: "Over 3.2 billion people depend on seafood as a significant source of animal protein,"
🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT: Top journalist Rachel Maddow exposes a terrifying reality. If the Trump administration's DOJ can secretly lie to grand juries, they can arrest and jail absolutely anyone on the basis of nothing.
Washington is actively paving the way for mass arrests!
At a time when ocean temperatures are smashing records and scientists are still trying to understand how fast the system is shifting under climate change, they are talking about scrapping a 368 million dollar early warning network that has ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR by tax payers.
This is not just a few sensors in the sea. It is a network of ~900 instruments measuring temperature, currents, carbon, chemistry and ecosystem change. It was designed to deliver long term data over decades.
This would effectively end key long running records and that matters because ocean data only becomes powerful over time. You cannot rebuild a continuous climate record once it is interrupted.
From @TheAthleticFC: If referee calls had been correct, the Premier League title race would have entered the final match round with Manchester City two points clear of Arsenal, according to our analysis of key match decisions. https://t.co/FSWGZMMBRL
Trump’s own government gave him, his kids, and his companies lifetime immunity from IRS audits and tax prosecution. It’s effectively a blanket pardon for cheating on their taxes. They line their own pockets with taxpayer money and get out of jail free.
This is the kind of large-scale fraud & corruption you’d expect in Russia or North Korea. Trump brought it to America.
The Eastern European countries from the old USSR are far more realistic about the Russians than the Western Europeans...
Because they have experienced the Russians
