It took Alabama 14 years to implement Brown v. Board of Ed., which was mandatory, but only 14 days to eliminate majority Black districts after LA v. Callais, which was not mandatory. I will never get how eliminating Black districts isn't racial gerrymandering, but.. oh well.
Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on.
This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.
Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani. He inherited a huge budget deficit, brought it down to zero, and still invested in childcare, housing and city infrastructure.
When municipal governments stand with working families, not billionaires, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.
Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket.
The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.
This paint job—if you can call it that—is costing you $7 million, America, because Trump gave a no-bid contract to a pal
This would have been Exhibit A of the sort of shit DOGE was actually *supposed* to be looking for when it was instead cutting lifesaving scientific research
Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia
Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes.
Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common
A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.
Kristi Noem was fired from DHS in March. It is May.
She is still living in a Coast Guard house on a military base in Washington.
The Trump administration cannot explain why.
She needs to pack her bags and go home.

Top journalist Ana Kasparian exposes absolute insanity.
The Trump administration gave a $17.4M no bid contract to renovate fountains.
The exact same job under a competitive contract would cost only $3.3M.
Washington is intentionally looting taxpayers to enrich their cronies.
Louisiana’s GOP governor just declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY to CANCEL an election.
Not for a storm — but to redraw maps so he can ERASE a historically Black district.
They’re not even hiding it. MAGA is rigging elections to silence YOU.
How is this being treated as normal?
A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel an ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.
🇺🇸BREAKING: Louisiana Republicans are cancelling an ongoing election to eliminate Black majority districts.
The election already started.
People have already voted.
Republicans are about to cancel those votes.
Never in American history has an election been cancelled this way.
The most important story in Congress right now is that Republicans cannot govern even with a majority and are not focused on legislating anything voters care about. If you’re a journalist unwilling or uninterested in covering that with urgency, you’re useless.
