With the help of the Supreme Court continuing to show their partisan colors, Alabama has officially re-joined the Old Confederacy. But make no mistake, we intend to build a better Alabama where everyone has a seat at the table.
Been a long day folks. And a tough, really tough day for Democracy. I am disappointed and angry - but not surprised - by today’s SCOTUS decision that effectively kills the Voting Rights Act. Here’s my full statement:
BREAKING: Muliple women are reporting similar things in Texas
They’re saying that their voter registration is in “suspense” meaning somebody challenged their voter registration.
Thanks to @AshleyDCan we’re reporting this. What’s going on Texas?
My statement:
“Today, the U.S. Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law and Americans everywhere. Its message was simple: Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. In America, only Congress can impose taxes on the American people.
The US Supreme Court gave us everything we asked for in our legal case. Everything.
I’m grateful for the leadership of the Liberty Justice Center, and in particular for the brilliant advocacy by its chair, Sara Albrecht, who led the fight when others wouldn’t and was dauntless in its defense of our constitutional order. I'm also grateful to the five small business owners who stood up against these unjust, unconstitutional taxes. By taking a stand, they have delivered crucial relief to tens of thousands of businesses and millions of consumers across the country.
Finally, I lack the words to properly thank my brilliant Milbank team, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak and Sami Ilagan, who worked with me day and night for many months to craft the winning argument.
This case has always been about the presidency, not any one president. It has always been about separation of powers, and not the politics of the moment. I'm gratified to see our Supreme Court, which has been the bedrock of our government for 250 years, protect our most fundamental values.
The AL legislature is at it again. HB 392 is being voted on in the House tomorrow. This bill will take away vorers’ ability to elect PSC members. You know what that means amd who will control the PSC and it’s not you! Take action to tell your rep to oppose HB 392
SB21 bill would create second-class citizenship in Alabama. Natural born and naturalized are equal citizens. I’m running for Alabama State House, because no politician gets to rewrite that. Bigotry from the Secy. of State should make everyone angry. https://t.co/sQ0TQmnJvP
Congress named it the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and it will stay that name.
RETWEET if you stand with the legacy of President Kennedy against Trump!
My op-ed in NRI Pulse just got published — and it calls out a truth many won’t say aloud: minority elites are helping authoritarianism take root in Alabama and beyond.
This moment is bigger than politics.
