In their decision to obliterate the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court claimed that the law was so effective it had basically eliminated race based electoral discrimination This was, of course, a massive lie
Rep. Ralph Norman: "Jim Clyburn, I like him personally, but he does not represent the rest of South Carolina, which is conservative. His district is close to 47% African American."

ICE agents are deploying harmful weapons like tear gas and pepper spray against children. This is unacceptable. Congress must rein in ICE and reject any more funding for this cruelty.

Over at “One First,” I wrote about how the redistricting chaos we’re seeing in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia is something #SCOTUS *chose,* and how it belies both the entire purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s claim that it’s staying out of the political process:

For those outside the Seattle area, the current area drama is that wealthy residents of a mansion neighborhood are complaining to the city that helicopters that carry children to the Children's Hospital are too noisy. I cannot say my thoughts publicly :)

All the victims are asking for is a vote on gun violence prevention. If Republicans are against it, they can vote no. But Minnesotans deserve to know where their representatives stand. www.startribune.com/parents-of-s...
