.@seanspicer Reporting on SCOTUS decision on voting rights: “I have been told by reliable sources that that decision is done and the minority is slow walking the dissent so that states do not have time to redistrict.”

Trump has proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget — a 40% increase, the largest since WWII.
In exchange for more war he wants to:
-Cut the EPA budget by half
-Cut $10.7 billion for housing
-Cut $8.5 billion for K-12 programs
-Cancel $15 billion for clean energy
-Cut $2.5 billion for clean drinking water
-Eliminate $1.6 billion for youth job training
-Cut $3.5 billion from the Labor Department
-Eliminate $395 million for senior employment
-Eliminate $775 million in food assistance grants
-Eliminate the National Endowment for Democracy
-Cut $5 billion from the National Institutes of Health
-Eliminate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
In all, cuts to domestic programs would account for a 10% reduction in discretionary spending.

Shawn Ryan says Trump betrayed the MAHA movement by backing immunity for pesticide companies.
“Did you see the glyphosate stuff?”
“Immunity.”
“Because of what? A national security issue?”
“Do you know how many people died of cancer last year? 618,000.”
“That’s somehow not a national security concern.”
“You know where the highest concentration of glyphosate is? It’s in Iowa.”
“Do you know where the highest concentration of cancer is? It’s in Iowa.”
“And he just gave them (pesticide companies) immunity.”

Today we filed a lawsuit to block the largest TV merger in American history.
The biggest local TV company in the country wants to buy one of its biggest competitors.
Why should you care?
Because it would mean paying more for TV.
It would hit about half the families in North Carolina. Nationally, about 80%.
If you watch Sunday afternoon football, local news, or network shows, you'd end up paying more.
It would also gut local news. Fewer reporters, fewer stories, less scrutiny on state and local leaders.
This company has a track record of merging newsrooms after it buys a competitor. In one city, two supposedly competing stations now share the same anchors, the same news director, and the same website.
Two channels. One newsroom.
The company has said it expects to make roughly $135m from raising prices and another $165m from "synergies" - i.e., laying people off.
The USDOJ has historically been the one to challenge mergers like this, and it did, twice, when Nexstar tried similar mergers in 2016 and 2020.
But that's not happening right now. The federal antitrust enforcers who are supposed to be policing these deals have stepped back, and that's left a void. State attorneys general are filling it.
That's why eight AGs have filed this case together, and I'll keep you posted.

This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.

Iowa has the fastest growing cancer rates in the country and @millermeeks is saying with a straight face that healthcare should be more expensive to incentivize against “over utilizing” doctors?
Insanity and cruelty. Donate to @BohannanIowa .
Katherine Clark@TeamKClark
Wow. GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks says Republicans want Americans to have more expensive health care so they have “skin in the game” and an “incentive” to “exercise more” instead of “over-utilizing” doctors.
