Multiple judges ruled that Alabama’s maps discriminated based on race. Yet the Supreme Court is bending over backwards to let them stand.

This court will do anything to help Republicans stay in power. No matter the cost.

They have lost all semblance of impartiality.

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

(1) Shelby: SCOTUS says that Congress no longer has pre-clearance authority for jurisdictions w/ legacy of racial discrimination. (2) Allen v Milligan: SCOTUS then says AL discriminated when designing their map (3) Yesterday: SCOTUS says we should assume good faith on part of AL.

A few years ago the Supreme Court struck down Alabama's congressional district map. Tonight they have upheld the very map they struck down.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

@jprowell The Vamprie bombed a single vehicle in a wider complex that includes several vehicles. Russia has probably a couple dozen complexes. Not sure it's more than 300.

Here's our video of the explosion at Launch Complex 36. It happened about 9 pm ET (0100 UTC) as Blue Origin was beginning a static fire test of its New Glenn rocket.

@BlartGamecock Heard and felt it in Five Points. No idea what it was.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Russia’s aerial bombs remain a major challenge for us. Within a month, we are talking about thousands, not even hundreds. Their jets launch glide bombs both from Russian territory and temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory at ranges exceeding 100 kilometers. We have never had enough air defense assets to intercept such bombs.

Using these bombs, the Russians wreak destruction across our border communities in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Kharkiv, Sumy, and others. Many cities and villages have been razed to the ground by aerial bombs.

Therefore, Gripens with matching weaponry – particularly Meteor missiles that destroy targets at distances exceeding 200 kilometers – will help us push Russian jets away so that they can’t use glide bombs en masse anymore.
