In this election cycle, courts have been used more to restrict voting rights than to expand them, Marc Elias says.
“We need more people to be in this fight.”

Holy shit. This video of a Trump advisor saying on CNN that the White House is “not afraid” to cut Medicaid and says “everything” is “on the table” including cuts on Social Security.
MAGA is about to lose their health care. #HandsOffOurSocialSecurity
❗️President Zelenskyy on Belarus and Lukashenko: if Lukashenko doesn't take down repeaters that help attack Ukrainian civilians, Ukraine will do that for him:
Now Russia will continue to push him [Lukashenko] into this war. Now he understands that Ukraine will respond.
Today, he has, repeaters on his towers. On his territory, along two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on the Ukrainian population.
They are killing civilians there.
There are repeaters on the corresponding towers. Can he take it down? Why say that he doesn’t want to be in the war? Let him take down this equipment. Let him turn off this equipment.
I think that a week will be enough for him to do this.
If he doesn’t do it, we will. Just like his, for example, oil industry. We are doing everything to prevent the Russians from being able to sell oil.
Trump just made his inaugural exit from the $400 million Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar that will serve as Air Force One.
After taxpayers spend hundreds of millions upgrading the plane, Trump gets to keep it after leaving office.
Ukraine believes that every democratic nation in Europe deserves to be a full member of the EU. And we are working as actively as possible to achieve this.
Please, do not forget that Ukraine merits it because it has paid more than any other European country for its right to be free, independent, and European. This right is not only for Ukraine. It is also the right of other nations to be independent from Russia.
The future of Europe – free, united and in peace – is being decided in our defense. That shows how unique our situation is. I’m grateful to everyone who recognizes this and who takes the necessary steps to show that Europe truly values and supports it.
The most important such step could be a fast-track path for Ukraine to join the EU.

USPS’s proposed rule would restrict mail-in ballot delivery to states that do not submit lists of confidential voter information.
If the rule stands as is, voters in those states won’t be able to vote by mail.
“It’s basically putting a gun to the head of state election officials,” reporter Jim Saksa says.
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
Her father has Down syndrome. The doctors said he couldn't raise her… But they were wrong.
Michael worked, he learned, he was there for her every step of the way. Her mother left when she was six months old, but he never did. Today, she studies at the same university, and he applauded her on her first day and on her graduation.
He was pleased. I told him 1.5 million people saw his picture and his art. He was happy. You all made him happy and I’m pleased to know he made others happy. My daughter got this video of me telling him about his fame.
Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep. https://t.co/jUtLu4cTaz
Today, I’m mourning my friend Melissa and her husband Mark, as we mark one year since they were assassinated in their home. Melissa was a dedicated public servant who worked every day to improve the lives of Minnesotans. That should never have cost her or her husband their lives.
Being elected to serve our communities should never be life-threatening. From state legislatures to the White House, it’s time for our leaders to stand against armed political violence.
My heart is in Minnesota and with Sophie, Colin, and the entire Hortman family as they continue to grieve this tragic loss.
