Last night, I had too much to drink and said some things that don’t represent who I really am. I’m sorry and today I am seeking help for my drinking problem. @jchristenson_ @lawler4ny @reesejgorman

The Supreme Court may argue, in gutting the Voting Rights Act, that they’re creating race-neutral districts. But the practical reality of what this means is staring political leaders and, more to the point, Black voters in the face: white Republicans fracturing African-American districts to unseat mostly Black Democrats so they can elect more white Republicans. politico.com/news/magazine/…

He spent 60 years building Black political power. He sees a wipeout coming: Press Robinson was the first member of his family to vote and the first Black person to win a seat on the Baton Rouge school board. He thinks a Supreme Court ruling will erase political gains African Americans have made across the South. wapo.st/4ukcV1b

The CBC is willing to take any measure necessary to protect Black voters across the country from this extremist effort to diminish Black voices and access to fair representation. Our statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais:

As the Florida House approved the @GovRonDeSantis map with new congressional districts-- Rep. @AngieNixon grabbed a bullhorn and protested the passage on the floor. "This is a violation of the constitution," Nixon shouted. Here's the clip:

The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was. I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away. Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews.

The whca dinner is one of the most guarded and secured dinners of the entire year. Multiple security screenings at multiple levels of the hotel. Shocked a gun could even get close

"Since the #Iran war began in late February, the U.S. has burned through around 1,100 of its long-range stealth cruise missiles built for a war with China, close to the total number remaining in the U.S. stockpile." Per @nytimes: nytimes.com/2026/04/23/us/…
