It’s so weird that every time SCOTUS declares racism to be no more than the Ghost of Voter Suppression Past, a bunch of states leap at the chance to do more racist voter suppression.

They are canceling some elections in Louisiana even though ballots have already been cast. This is a power grab by any means necessary.

Step by step, across issues from admissions to voting rules, the GOP majority is operating much like the reactionary Supreme Court that dismantled Reconstruction and midwifed the birth of Jim Crow segregation in the late 19th century.

#SCOTUS has empowered red Southern states to erase minority representation even as minorities account for virtually all of those states' population growth. That ominously resurrects the logic of the Constitution's "3/5 compromise" & Jim Crow. My take. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

The Court potentially siding w/the govt would be insane if I didn't know history:
In a SCOTUS decision in 1898, SCOTUS upheld the claim that poll taxes and literacy tests were constitutional and not in violation of the 15th amendment because on its face they were "race neutral."

New: During an extraordinary exchange today, a top DOJ official told SCOTUS that past remarks by Trump disparaging Haiti as a "shithole" country and immigrants as "poisoning the blood" of the US weren’t racist and shouldn’t get in the way of the government stripping temporary protections for migrants buff.ly/uZhrUQu

In other words, the governor's position is that political gerrymandering is now legal in Florida, even though the constitution says it is not.

"Partisan intent can be taken into account," a lawyer hired by the governor's office just told the Senate.
For context, the state constitution currently says you CAN'T do that.

Todd Blanche said today he didn't know if Comey was under arrest right now and umm...I feel like that is something he should know before he stepped out to do a press conference...

i think it's important to note that the correspondents dinner wouldn't be at a White House ballroom even if it were built. The dinner is not a White House event. It's a WHCA event. Also, Trump had never attended before (would he host a dinner he didn't attend).

The map Florida just released is missing district 25. I’m told members of the state legislature are currently discussing whether this is a mistake or not.

NEW: per Fox News, new FL map proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) would target four Dem seats, aiming to convert a 20R-8D delegation to 24R-4D. But in a year like 2026, not all of the 24 seats would be safe for the GOP. More from @CookPolitical soon. foxnews.com/politics/ron-d…
