Donald Trump has always been a grifter, but the level of corruption we’re seeing from his administration is unprecedented.
If we don’t get the midterms right, we risk giving him two more years of unchecked power.

Every single MAGA gerrymander is designed to backslide our country back to Jim Crow — but this week we saw two red states where their scheme failed: Alabama & South Carolina.
They thought silencing a fed-up electorate would be simple. They're finding out otherwise.

It's been a month since SCOTUS gutted the VRA, and what we’ve witnessed in the past 30 days prove just how essential these protections were.
The GOP is doing everything possible to take us back to Jim Crow-era levels of Black and brown representation.

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans in Ohio just ignored court rulings repeatedly and did it anyway.
Breaking news: The Supreme Court of Virginia has struck down new congressional map that Virginia voters passed last month.

@timkaine SCOTUS "eviscerates the VRA in a lawsuit brought by a 1/6 extremist & Southern states race to craft backroom deals disenfranchising.... VA voters choose to stand up against national disenfranchisement only to see their votes cast into the trash by a 4-3 ruling"

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important.
Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin, the only two candidates in the race with strong records of standing up for all Georgians.
Early voting is already underway and Election Day is May 19th. Find out where you can vote at IWillVote.com/GA.

From voting rights to reproductive freedoms, the SCOTUS supermajority Trump created has been methodically dismantling settled law.
And Americans have fewer fundamental rights as a result.

Yesterday’s SCOTUS ruling was a serious blow to voting rights, and there won’t be an overnight fix.
But we’ve always known this would be a long fight.
Our work continues, one day and one election at a time until the VRA is restored in its entirety.

For decades, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act has prohibited discriminatory voting practices in our elections.
Yesterday, SCOTUS weakened this key provision — paving the way for a new onslaught of gerrymanders that silence minority voters.

In a blow to the voting rights of millions of Americans, SCOTUS just ruled to gut Section 2 of the VRA.
By gutting one of the most important provisions to fight racial discrimination in our elections, the Court has opened the floodgates for racial gerrymanders.

TODAY: Florida lawmakers are expected to vote on the DeSantis gerrymander.
If passed, the map would be a direct violation of the Florida Constitution’s Fair Districts Amendment and we *will* pull every stop to strike it down.
More updates to come.

Poll after poll has shown voters in Florida overwhelmingly oppose DeSantis’ plan to further gerrymander the state.
Turns out the only Florida voter that matters to Ron DeSantis is Donald Trump.

DeSantis just dropped a map that would wipe out seats in Tampa, Central FL, and South Florida.
This would erase fair representation for millions of Floridians.
We’re in the fight to make sure that doesn’t happen. Our full statement: bit.ly/4dfJBSX

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

LFG VIRGINIA! Tonight, Virginians said YES to leveling the playing field ahead of the midterms and NO to Trump’s power grab. Now, we’ve got a real chance to save our democracy. Thank you, Virginia.

So, according to Republican logic, it's totally fine when Trump orders gerrymanders without voters consent in Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina. But when voters in VA and CA take a VOTE on new maps to level the playing field - it's 'fraud.' Not sure I'm following here...

Florida's special session is kicking off next week. Republican legislators are panicking, Floridians overwhelmingly disapprove of mid-decade redistricting, and to top it all off, partisan gerrymandering is prohibited in the state's constitution. So we'll see how this goes...

Republicans were all-in on mid-decade redistricting, until voters started beating them at their own game.
This is textbook MAGA tantrum politics.
