Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

A federal judge just blocked FEMA from withholding anti-terrorism funds from local governments that don't change how they run elections. It's the latest blow to Trump's attempts to rewrite election rules.

Since SCOTUS destroyed the Voting Rights Act, Southern states can now redraw a dozen majority-Black districts in time for the 2028 elections, triggering the largest drop in Black congressional representation since the end of Reconstruction. And that’s just the beginning.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

This isn’t just about NIH grants. It’s about whose health gets studied—and whose gets ignored. Defund research on women and minority communities. Weaken the safety net. Politicize which science gets funded. Different policies. Same consequence: the people who already have the least lose the most.

Garcia: Trump obviously has been a failure as a businessman, and he saw the presidency as an opportunity to enrich himself and his family. This family is at a point where they think they can do whatever they want. And what they're using to enrich themselves is the public's hard-earned money.
