Really sad that the Vice President can’t just say the texts are bad and troubling and condemn them and lead for once - and instead feels the need to deflect and run cover for it and signal to young republicans that it’s actually no big deal.

She wasn't "arrested", she was assaulted, kidnapped, & is being unlawfully imprisoned for playing music during a peaceful protest.

The chump administration is openly trampling the rights of Americans to instill fear & silence dissent.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Why today’s Voting Rights Act at SCOTUS important:

Democrats in South face wipeout if Supreme Court guts Voting Rights Act — NYT

What could happen without Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act

Map on left shows the current map WTH southern states in red and major voting areas of blue for democratic voting areas in Louisiana, Miss., Alabama., Tenn., Ga., Florida, S.C. And N.C.

The map on the right shows a possible scenario which dramatically changes/shrinks democratic voting areas leaving blue voting blocks in small area of Ga., N.C. and only two small areas of Florida.
