Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a major threat to (what remains of) the 1965 Voting Rights Act. But this isn't the first time the VRA has faced dire threats; in 2013 and 2021, SCOTUS weakened other provisions. We can learn from those why Callais could be so dangerous 🧵

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

Donald Trump and Republicans are jacking up health care prices for hardworking women and families across America.

Millions will lose coverage. Costs will soar for millions more.

"Now I’m not saying Trump is King George III ... He recently sounded proud when he said, 'we took the freedom of speech away.' ... No matter who you voted for, being against an all-powerful executive branch should unite those of us who love democracy and the Constitution."

"Cosplay Karen" Noem can whine about this shutdown being the Democrats' fault, but we know the truth. Republicans control Congress ＆ they let this happen to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files.
