Unbelievable. Another deeply disappointing, unlawful win for the Trump administration from SCOTUS’s conservative majority. Ahead of the midterms, the Court just greenlit sweeping voter citizenship checks that could disenfranchise eligible voters. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Supreme Court allows Trump administration to use expanded database for potential voter purges
Critics have said the data could lead to U.S. citizens being kicked off the voter rolls, but the justices noted the law prohibits broad voter purges in the weeks leading up to an election.

For nearly a decade, Kansas voters and courts have rejected attacks on abortion rights. The latest vote — and a court ruling just one day earlier — sent the same clear message: Kansans won’t back down. #StateCourtsMatter #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

Failed Kansas Ballot Measure Is Another Victory for Reproductive Rights
For the better part of a decade, Kansas courts and voters have rejected attempts to crack down on abortion. The vote — and an abortion ruling that came down a day before — were no different.

SCOTUS could hand Trump a major win by blocking lawsuits against his ballroom altogether — a ruling that could threaten laws protecting environmental resources, sacred lands, and historic sites nationwide. www.vox.com/politics/499...
