NEW: Democrats criticized SCOTUS for allowing Alabama to use a gerrymander it previously found was discriminatory against Black voters. The historic ruling allows states to discriminate and leaves minorities with virtually no protections, which advocates stress will set the nation back decades.

The historic ruling effectively gives states free rein to discriminate and leaves virtually no federal protections for non-white voters, even in extreme cases. Lawmakers can now intentionally eliminat...

I’m listening to seasoned reporters talk about how frightened they were during the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night and imagining how much worse it is for America’s children. If there’s ever been a time to pass sensible gun control laws, it’s now.

Attacks on Stephen Miller getting far more specific in this Daily Mail (why are the best right-on-right hitjobs always laundered thru the UK?). 1) He ordered confrontation w/protestors b4 CBP murdered Alex Pretti. 2) He countermanded Trump order not to focus on farmworkers.
The most damaging episodes were the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which Miller was at the center of.
During his 10am calls with immigration leaders, Miller was demanding agents be sent out to areas in Minneapolis where DHS knew there was a heavy presence of protesters to 'force confrontations,' two DHS senior sources told the Daily Mail.
One official noted that Miller repeatedly urged agents to engage protesters so the administration could win the 'PR battle.'
During Trump's massive immigration crackdown in in Los Angeles in June, the President spoke with top officials and told them to avoid targeting farm workers. The next day at 10am, Miller sent out different orders.
'Stephen got on the call the next day, and said "We're discussing that internally" and that we should just disregard what he said,' one official told the Daily Mail. 'It was like the President never said anything. It was just like Stephen was in charge.'
