WHAT A CONTRAST TODAY: Democrat Jerri Green launches a program to relieve $17M of medical debt for 12,000 Memphians. As GUV, she wants to take the program statewide. Republican Marsha Blackburn attends a corporate photo op for a new Air France flight to Paris. Their posts were moments apart.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era. The latest from @AriBerman & @pemalevy: tinyurl.com/3m6nawpj
Mother Jones magazine cover linking the Roberts Supreme Court to a revival of Jim Crow: a black judicial robe hangs next to a white KKK hooded robe with a hand reaching toward it; headline "The Southern Strategy" and subhead "Jim Crow was dead and buried. Then came the Roberts court."
