Utah Republicans are expanding the state Supreme Court. National Democrats should do the same once Trump is gone.
Lindsay Aerts@LindsayOnAir

INBOX: @GovCox has announced the final list of nominees for the two new seats on the Utah Supreme Court. You'll remember that the legislature expanded the court from 5 to 7 seats earlier this year.

Today, the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority gutted one of the last remaining protections of the Voting Rights Act, paving the way for Republicans to rig the next election and gain as many as 19 new seats in the House. Trump and his cronies don’t think they can win on the merits, so they’re rigging the system and disenfranchising eligible voters.
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire

🚨 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana's new congressional map that added a second majority-black district, holding that it constitutes a racial gerrymander. The Court narrows its previous interpretation of the Voting Rights Act.

Justice Elena Kagan excoriates SCOTUS's conservative justices for gutting the Voting Rights Act: "The Callais requirements have thus laid the groundwork for the largest reduction in minority representation since the era following Reconstruction."

The FCC is gearing up to launch a formal review of the broadcast licenses granted to Disney’s eight owned ABC stations over complaints about Jimmy Kimmel‘s joke about Melania Trump looking like an "expectant widow." The FCC, headed by Trump appointee Brendan Carr, “is moving toward a review of Disney’s broadcast licenses, according to people familiar with the matter, a maneuver that would up the pressure on the ABC owner as it faces fierce scrutiny from the administration — again — over a late night monologue,” per a report by Semafor. variety.com/2026/tv/news/t…

@daveweigel The plan must be structurally reforming the Supreme Court to restore sanity, balance, and integrity to the bench. That means expanding the Court, term limits, an enforceable code of ethics, and more. ⚖️ #SCOTUS

.@seanspicer Reporting on SCOTUS decision on voting rights: “I have been told by reliable sources that that decision is done and the minority is slow walking the dissent so that states do not have time to redistrict.”

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@Rep_McBride·
In a political career defined by grotesque statements, this president’s horrifying, illegal, and genocidal threat this morning is among the most dangerous and appalling. You can’t shout “fire” in a crowded theater and a president cannot be allowed to threaten genocide with the United States military. Threats of war crimes and disregard for human life must be met with accountability under the law. Trump must go—and Republicans, whether in the Cabinet or Congress, must join Democrats in using any and all constitutional powers at our collective disposal to end this illegal war and take the gun out of this madman’s hands.

Michael Flynn confessed. Trump pardoned. Now Flynn will receive $1.2 million from the Trump administration. Trump’s DOJ calls it a settlement, but it’s not. It’s a gift of grift. A political payoff ripped from the wallets of taxpayers. convulsions.substack.com/p/trump-injust…
