'Wah! Wah! Wah! Cry! Cry! Cry!' I present to you the Illinois Congressional map.

WATCH: A recorded call involving Karen Bass, made days before the Palisades Fire, is resurfacing ahead of the primary, with John Alle now identifying himself as the person who recorded it. Alle says he warned about dangerous winds and fire risk during the call. Bass’ campaign strongly disputes that, saying the call focused on planned law enforcement activity in MacArthur Park, not fire danger.

React from @JBPritzker on Voting Rights SCOTUS ruling


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.
