Mere hours after the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the VRA, Republicans across the nation — but particularly in the South — called on GOP legislatures to redraw congressional maps ahead of November’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Republicans rush to redraw electoral maps just hours after SCOTUS guts Voting Rights Act
They might be too late for 2026... but not 2028.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Trump's first foreign leader call was with Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Reminder that Trump's first 2017 foreign visit was to Saudi Arabia - and Saudi Arabia has paid Trump for golf and real estate deals and Kushner manages over $2 billion in Saudi investments.
Image shows readout of call: "On Wednesday, President Donald J. Trump held his first foreign leader call with Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The two leaders discussed efforts to bring stability to the Middle East, bolster regional security, and combat terrorism. Additionally, they discussed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s international economic ambitions over the next four years as well as trade and other opportunities to increase the mutual prosperity of the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗
