Only about half of Americans have a U.S. passport. And for Black Americans, those rates are even lower.
“That is not a flaw from Donald Trump’s standpoint,” Marc Elias says. “That is a feature.”
Don't let Trump take away your voice. Help us fight back: https://t.co/l2FHZu9Aex
The New York City Bar Association has issued a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee opposing the nomination of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Addressed to Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dick Durbin (D-N.Y.), the letter asserts that, “Mr. Blanche has taken actions that we believe make him unfit to lead an ethical and independent department of justice that is essential to our nation’s democracy.”
“The Attorney General personifies for Americans our commitment to the rule of law and equal justice under the law. Todd Blanche fails to meet this standard,” the letter later continued.

Andy Biggs has spent his career selling out Arizona families for billionaires, special interests, and even convicted sex offenders.
The more Arizonans learn about Biggs, the more they'll realize he's one big problem they can't afford.
“The story of this era isn’t merely that powerful men demand obedience. History is full of powerful men demanding obedience. The story of this era is whether enough Americans still possess the courage to refuse. Scott Pelley did.”

BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Congressman Brendan Boyle just silenced Scott Bessent for trying to blame Joe Biden for today's inflation. The American people aren't having MAGA's BS anymore.
HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD:
"New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."
I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥
Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends.
He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission.
Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?
Dear @ScottPelley
Thank you.
Thank you for standing up when it was inconvenient.
Thank you for standing up when it cost you a job you loved.
Thank you for standing up to power and for trying to save a landmark news program.
Thank you for your INTEGRITY.
This fucking jackass helped a man who RAPED a child for 3 years straight get off with the lightest possible sentence.
Conservative Texans picked the worst possible scum for candidate.
🔥 BRUTAL.
Andy Beshear just went after Ken Paxton with a line that is going to follow him for the rest of this race.
"He's so corrupt his own party impeached him."
Ouch.
Think about that for a second.
Not Democrats. Not political opponents.
His own party. His own side. His own colleagues.
Beshear didn't stop there.
He said Paxton lacks the character to serve as senator and accused him of treating public office as a tool for personal enrichment instead of public service.
And that's the real danger for Republicans.
Because every time they try to make this race about Biden, Democrats, or Washington...
someone brings the conversation right back to Ken Paxton.
The candidate. The scandals. The impeachment.
The question hanging over all of it:
If your own party tried to remove you from office...
why should voters promote you to a higher one?
Follow @AllenAnalysis to stay ahead of the curve.
Regardless of politics, women across America should be FURIOUS that trump is using the DOJ to retaliate against E. Jean Carroll after sexually assaulting and defaming her.
This is vindictive abuse of power.
Another reason to impeach him.
This is Democrat Army veteran Noah Taylor. A new poll shows him beating Republican U.S. Senator Roger Marshall by 4 points in deep-red Kansas.
RETWEET if you support @NoahforKansas as he runs to flip Kansas Blue!
So maybe “Coach” doesn’t know what Memorial Day is and would rather give criminals who beat police and attacked the US Capitol a billion dollars of your hard earned money. Most might say this is unbelievable, but then again most should know where his loyalties really lie - and it is not with the people of Alabama.
Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.
RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!
