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.

Former DOJ official tells me: "This might be the worst case DOJ has filed in my lifetime."

🚨 NEW: Jimmy Kimmel just DEFENDED his Melania “expectant widow joke,” claiming it was about their age difference. He fails to apologize, then doubles down: KIMMEL: “It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination.” “And they know that… I’ve been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence, in particular. But I understand that the First Lady had a stressful experience over the weekend.” “And probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house. And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.” Kimmel was joking about the President dying and Melania being happy about it, which does not belong on taxpayer-funded airwaves.

22% of liberals under 44 say it’s okay to feel happy when a political opponent dies, compared to just 6% of conservatives their age (YouGov - 2025)
