@michaelsteele.bsky.social, former RNC Chair is fed up. Watch as he responds to Trump's attempt to strong-arm Congress into passing his own voter suppression legislation, while scrapping the signage of a landmark, bipartisan housing bill. His #CupOfJoe is always fierce.

🥜 TODAY: Alabama voters are choosing primary nominees for the 2026 midterms. After the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, state lawmakers quickly moved to bring back a map that a court had found to be intentionally racially discriminatory. Now, confusion looms over the election.

This is so pathetic. DOJ is 0-6 in lawsuits to gain access to state voter roles. It couldn't find any legal authority for its claims so it wrote its own memo to cite to the 6th Circuit. SAD! www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
