I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

I think we should ban all gerrymandering. The GOP would never vote for it, though. Marginalizing the non-white vote is the only way they stay relevant.

🚨BREAKING: Internal emails between DOJ personnel suggest that, from the very outset of the effort to obtain sensitive voter data from states — much earlier than previously known — officials there planned to share it with the DHS. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Emails reveal DOJ officials planned to share voter rolls with DHS much earlier than they admitted
The emails focus attention again on the tangle of conflicting statements made by DOJ lawyers — in letters to states, court filings, and public comments — about what the agency planned for the data.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. Sounds a little strange, but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding.” Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for not punching Trump in the nose for saying the country that invaded Ukraine was being "very generous."

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.
