In NC the Maga majority in Raliegh and on our Supreme Court decided that it's ok to gerrymander maps going against our state constitution. We weren't given a chance to vote on it. Not once.

Had voters used their fucking heads in 2016 rather than electing a conman, we’d have a liberal majority SCOTUS that could’ve overturned Citizens United, declared partisan gerrymandering unconstitutional in Rucho v. Common Cause, kept Roe in place & wouldn’t be the judicial arm of the GOP.

It’s hilarious how “outraged” the GOP is over VA’s new 10-1 map when they didn’t give voters a choice if they want new maps in the states they gerrymandered & it was the 5 GOP-appointed justices who ruled that courts have no standing to address partisan gerrymandering in Rucho v. Common Cause.

Senate Democrats seize on new allegations against Patel, press DOJ to preserve documents After making the case that the FBI director “must resign immediately,” Chuck Schumer sent a provocative letter to the acting attorney general about Patel.

"Trump has said nothing about the latest allegations against the FBI director. In fact, the president has been conspicuously quiet about Patel of late, failing to say his name out loud or online in roughly a month.

Dr. Vin Gupta warns a new American Lung Association report shows over half of U.S. children live with poor air quality.

Nearly 150 million Americans are affected—and experts say it could get worse.

Especially when we have a non-functioning EPA.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

My state continues to embarrass me at every turn.

Thank you for the work you & your team are doing Marc!

GOP blocks plan to prepare North Carolina counties for ballot seizures, ICE at polls Millen pointed to recent events in other states, including California where a sheriff seized over 650,000 ballots, as well as rhetoric from various Trump administration officials suggesting federal de...

NEW: In a party-line vote, North Carolina's GOP-led election board rejected a proposal that would have prepared election officials on how to handle ICE agents at the polls or attempts to seize ballots.

Republicans on the board warned against overreacting to hypothetical scenarios.

I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

Commonwealth Court rules the state constitution includes a fundamental right to abortion • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Susan Frietsche, of the Women’s Law Project, said the Medicaid coverage exclusion was the single largest barrier to abortion access in Pa.

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

The Shadow Docket Is John Roberts’ Disappointing Legacy Chief Justice John Roberts was the driving force behind the rise of the Supreme Court’s emergency docket as a powerful tool to empower the activist conservative majority — that’s the main takeaway of ...

“History will see the emergency docket and MQD as twin drivers of the Roberts court’s conservative activism. That’s a surprising legacy for a chief justice who came to the court as an advocate of judicial restraint.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
