Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

CROW: Does Mr. Parlatore represent foreign governments or persons in his private law practice? HEGSETH: I don't know CROW: You don't know? Somebody who is sitting in your meetings as a special adviser -- you don't know?

trump should focus on the American people instead of building a private ballroom that will cost taxpayers $400 million.

I asked Secretary Hegseth a straightforward, yes or no question today: Is Donald Trump mentally stable enough to be Commander in Chief? He didn't say yes. And that speaks volumes.

A record 55% of Americans say their financial situation is worsening. So what are trump and Republicans focused on? -$400 million trump ballroom -Massive arch in DC to honor trump -Putting trump’s face on U.S. passports NOVEMBER IS COMING

this your husband?

@BrianStack153 @YouTube I’ve mostly known Automatic for the People, but I wanna start listening to more! Thanks for the response… you continue to rule. 🙌😄 Who are your Top 3 bands? No presh to answer, I know things are busy!

@MarkLeo81 @YouTube As a massive REM fan, I’m sorry to say I only saw them once in concert, back in ‘85 at Indiana University, but it’s one of my all-time favorite live music experiences. I did also see them perform live on “Late Night with Conan” though which was also unforgettable.

R.E.M., “Seven Chinese Brothers”, live on TV in ‘84. Just the best, that’s all. Michael Stipe is on “Colbert” tonight by the way. youtu.be/uBBeqJZ80F8?si… via @YouTube

@AVindman It’s so weird and uncommon knowing a politician has good intentions. Hope you win big. 🇺🇸🙌

Today, I officially filed to run for U.S. Senate. Florida families are getting crushed by rising costs while politicians cash in. I’m in this race to cut costs, crush corruption, and fight for the people of Florida, not lobbyists, insiders, or Big Pharma. Let’s get to work.

@RepJeffries @donnabrazile I don’t think he’s actually ever been diagnosed with “extraordinary brilliance.” 😆

You started this redistricting war. The people of America will finish it. Pipe down.

OPEN THE STRAIT. CLOSE THE STRAIT. WE ARE BLOCKADING. LIFT SANCTIONS. IMPOSE NEW SANCTIONS. JD IS IN PAKISTAN. JD IS NOT IN PAKISTAN. STILL BLOCKADING. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT. THERE IS NO AGREEMENT THAT IS FAKE NEWS. BOMBING AGAIN SOON (MAYBE)!

Donald says we would have won the Vietnam War if he'd been president. Maybe he should have just served.

@WhiteHouse What if the chef has dementia

LET HIM COOK.

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump LOL

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

@FBIDirectorKash @ericswalwell Yes, he should indeed “sit down” with y’all… and not the president? You’re only on a victim’s side if the criminal is of a certain political party? Dereliction of duty and an immoral disgrace.

.@EricSwalwell has maintained that none of the allegations against him are true, and now that he’s resigned, we would welcome him to sit down with the FBI and share any information he has. We also encourage and welcome any person with relevant information to any of these matters to speak with us. Door is open to all. @FBI 1-800-CALL-FBI

@RepNancyMace Uh oh! You’re missing one major person! 😄

Time to clean House. These members have proven through their own actions they are unfit to serve: Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Tony Gonzales Cory Mills Eric Swalwell They should resign IMMEDIATELY. If they don’t, we should expel all of them.

@DonaldJTrumpJr Haha 🖕

To our friends in Hungary, we hope you will vote for independent thinking and for someone who stands for Hungary First. We hope you will vote for my father’s friend and ally. One leader in Europe has a direct line to the White House, I hope you will support Viktor Orban! #Hungary

@amartinez_27 Thank you Alec! We’ve missed ya! #GKG 🙌 #Legend

Thanks for having me! Just tried channeling my skills from 6th grade band 😂

@RepNancyMace Okay, but don’t forget the orange f*ck! 😄

I don't care what party you're in. If you sexually assault or sexually harass your employee (or anyone), you have no business serving in Congress. I called on Tony Gonzales to resign - now I'm calling on Eric Swalwell to resign.
