Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Next week, the Supreme Court will hear a case that could determine the future of the Voting Rights Act.

At stake in Louisiana v. Callais is Black voters’ ability to elect their candidates of choice in Louisiana, and all voters' ability to challenge racially discriminatory maps.

The Supreme Court Is Being Tested on History Once Again

The leading arguments in support of Black voting rights were race-conscious at their core.

Now that ICE vehicles can act as cell towers and they have the capability to scan phones, there are precautions you need to take before you go to a protest. Think about a Faraday bag. Protect not only you, but everyone you talk to. Turn off your biometrics.

ICE may try to hack your phone at a protest. Here's what you need to know.

We’ll be at the Supreme Court tomorrow to defend a fair voting map in Louisiana. Diluting Black voting power is textbook discrimination — we're fighting for fair representation.

Graphic with a protester holding a sign reading "Federal voting rights protections, now!" The graphic reads "Black voters deserve to elect candidates of our choice."
