Reminder: 87% of Democratic voters and 78% of Republican voters in North Carolina oppose gerrymandering. And yet, Republicans redrew the state's congressional map and took power away from Black voters after Trump told them to.

BREAKING: In a 26-20 vote, the North Carolina Senate passes a Trump-approved congressional gerrymander that aims to dismantle one of the state’s Black Democratic seats. The House redistricting committee is set to take up the measure this afternoon.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Read this headline over and over a few times and consider how low we have sunk and how so many have allowed this to happen without consequence out of fear, stupidity, greed or feckless callousness
Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases Senior department officials who were defense lawyers for the president and those in his orbit are now in jobs that typically must approve any such payout, underscoring potential ethical conflicts.
