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.
@OccupyDemocrats Didn’t even bother to read this idiotic post.
PROBLEM is: you liberals have TDS so bad that you hate PRESIDENT Trump more than you love America and Americans.
BREAKING: HELL YES! Congressman Ted Lieu announces that a future Democratic administration will PROSECUTE the Trump family members and officials who are raking in money illegally.
The MAGA gravy train is headed straight off a cliff...
"The American people are suffering from a cost-of-living emergency. Inflation is up. Grocery prices are up. Gas prices are up," said Lieu. "The Consumer Sentiment Index hit the lowest ever in its 74-year history. But you know who's doing really well? Trump and his family."
"According to a report from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, Trump and his family have made over $9 billion in his presidency," the congressman continued. "The corruption in this administration is out of control."
Trump and his children have treated his second presidency as an opportunity to steal everything that isn't literally nailed down. They're lining their pockets through crypto pump and dump schemes and pocketing jaw-dropping sweetheart deals. Just this week, Eric Trump was seen publicly boasting about a robotics company he works for receiving a $24 million Pentagon contract. Money is flowing out of our pockets as taxpayers and straight into the bloated bank accounts of Trump's crime family.
"And we saw again last week that there were suspiciously timed market trades right before Donald Trump made statements relating to the Iran war!" Lieu continued "And this is not the first time it has happened. Media reports have now analyzed this and said that these trades look awfully suspicious. And the only people who would know what Donald Trump is about to say before he says it are people close to Trump."
"So I call on the SEC to do an investigation into all these suspiciously timed market trades. And if they do not, I guarantee you a future administration will prosecute these criminals," Lieu concluded.
The reports of apparent insider trading inside the White House have exploded in recent months. Every time that Trump makes some dramatic geopolitical announcement on Truth Social, there appear to be sizable, suspicious bets placed in the immediate lead-up, accurately predicting his announcement. Only Trump insiders would have that information.
The BBC investigated trade volume data on numerous financial markets, comparing them to some of Trump's "most significant market-moving statements." They discovered a "consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview was made public." In other words, Trump is manipulating the markets and exploiting the vast powers of the Oval Office to enrich himself and his cronies. He has turned the White House into a Trump casino — and he's stacking the deck every hand.
Mass prosecutions are the only way out of this institutional crisis. As of right now, with Donald Trump as president, we are no longer a nation of laws. Our government is being run like a mafia racketeering operation and working class Americans are the ones being squeezed. It's not enough to simply vote these criminals out of office. We have to lock them up. Anything less than convictions and imprisonments will give a green light to future Republican administrations to run this exact same playbook.
Please ❤️ and share if you support prosecuting every last one of these crooks!
@MbarkCherguia Sorry, but islam is not a race. It’s not even a religion. It’s nothing more than a satanic pedophile death cult. IMPOSSIBLE to be racist against THEM!!
On Monday, a DHS employee, Lauren Bullis, was brutally shot and stabbed to death by Olaolukitan Adon Abel, a 26-year-old, born in the United Kingdom, who was naturalized by the Biden Administration in 2022.
Since President Trump took office, @USCIS has implemented measures to ensure individuals with criminal histories and who otherwise lack good moral character do not attain citizenship.
He possesses a prior criminal record that includes convictions for sexual battery, battery against a police officer, obstruction, and assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and now stands accused of murdering @DHSgov employee Lauren Bullis by shooting and stabbing her while she walked her dog.
He has also been arrested for the murder of an unidentified woman whom he reportedly shot outside a Checkers, before randomly shooting a homeless man multiple times outside a Kroger in Brookhaven.
These acts of pure evil have devastated our Department and my prayers are with the families of the victims.
🚨 Lexie Lawler, the ex-labor nurse whose license was revoked after she posted a video hoping Karoline Leavitt would die in childbirth, now says she’ll fight Florida to get it back using $30k she raised on GoFundMe.
Revoking her license was the right call?
A. Yes
B. No.
