Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers? Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.

This is outright theft. Trump is stealing $1.7 BILLION of your money to set up a totally unprecedented, first-in-American-history political slush fund that he can use to dole out cash to win loyalty and favors for him and his family.

When I say the country is institutionally rigged for Republicans I’m talking about how Virginia gets their maps struck down after a two year process involving multiple legislative sessions and a statewide referendum but Tennessee can just decide not to enfranchise Memphis anymore

This is *insane.* Even if you are too tired to follow the news you have to understand this. The Louisiana governor has *suspended an active congressional election with 42k votes already cast* — it's insane.
Democracy Docket@DemocracyDocket

NEW: By the time Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry suspended ongoing elections to give lawmakers time to redraw the state’s congressional map, roughly 42,000 Louisianans already cast their votes — and it’s likely many voted in the House primaries. Now, their ballots are at risk of being thrown out. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/th…

“This decision represents the most sweeping threat to abortion since the overturning of Roe v. Wade,” said Kelly Baden, vice president for public policy at the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights. “If allowed to stand, it would severely restrict access to mifepristone in every state, including those where abortion is broadly legal and where voters have acted to protect abortion rights.” -@nytimes #abortion #humanrights

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservatives basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and stain on the court.

🚨We have officially guaranteed the right of every woman in Virginia to access contraception and birth control. Thank you @ltgovhashmi, @JCarrollFoy, and @DelCiaPrice85 for long championing this effort — and for all you’ve done to protect reproductive healthcare.
Sen. Jennifer Carroll Foy@JCarrollFoy

The Right to Contraception Act has now been signed into law by @GovernorVA! This law protects the millions of Virginia women who use contraception everyday. Virginia is finally enshrining this freedom into law. The Right to Contraception Act strengthens stability for families and safeguards essential health care choices. It makes clear that these decisions belong to patients — not politicians.

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

This is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail. We know where this will go -- the targeting of Democrats for mass disenfranchisement. We will sue and we will win.
John Bresnahan@bresreports

Just a stunning executive order from Trump on voting by mail. The US Postal Service will monitor who gets mail-in ballots for federal elections & who mails them in

The MAGA DOJ continues to withhold documents about a sexual assault allegation against Trump. The accuser said it happened when she was a young teenager. I want answers, and you deserve them too.

“The consensus is essentially that women are subhuman,” she says, “and I mean that quite literally: subrational, non-agentic, cattle.” New in @NYMag: I spoke to women in, around, and leaving MAGA about the right’s unabashed embrace of misogyny.

The DOJ appears to be withholding files from a survivor making allegations about the President. We need answers and must investigate.

Princes, ambassadors, and CEOs from around the world are being held accountable for their involvement in Epstein’s horrific sex trafficking ring. NO ONE is above the law — not even the President. This cover-up needs to end. RELEASE ALL THE FILES. NOW.
