Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

This afternoon, retired Army general Stanley McChrystal, former commander of Joint Special Operations Command, spoke at the retirement ceremony hosted by @HRC for six transgender service members who were forced out under Trump’s ban.
“I shouldn’t have to be thanked for being here. First off, we shouldn’t be here. This shouldn’t be happening.”

Someone alert DOGE that the Houthis have now shot down six MQ-9 Reaper drones, costing $30 million a piece, despite 35 straight days of US bombing in Yemen. Untold savings (waste, fraud, abuse?) are surely to be found with a thorough DOGE investigation of this matter. Right?

Sixth MQ-9 Reaper drone shot down by Houthis since March 3rd; each drone costs about $30 million reports @Liz_Friden
The U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone was shot down by the Houthis in Yemen earlier today, sources tell Fox News. This is the sixth MQ-9 Reaper drone shot down by the Houthis since March 3rd and during the Trump administration. It is the fifth U.S. MQ-9 drone shot down over Yemen since U.S. Central Command began daily airstrikes on the Houthis on March 15th. The U.S. military has carried out 35 straight days of bombing, and yet the Houthis continue to fire missiles to shoot these expensive U.S. assets down and continue to fire ballistic missiles at Israel. Most international shipping has not resumed in the Red Sea.
Each MQ-9 drone costs about $30 million dollars a piece, according to the Congressional Research Service. The Houthis have shot down at least 16 American drones since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023. A source familiar said it could be as many as 20 Reapers that have been shot down since October 2023. Demand for the Reaper drones is at an all-time high with various U.S. military commanders often told there are not enough for their combatant commands. The loss of 16 MQ-9 Reapers totals more than $500 million dollars. As of December 2024, the U.S. had 230 MQ-9's in its arsenal, a U.S. defense official tells Fox News.

.@AdamKinzinger is voting for Kamala Harris because she is the best person to lead our country forward. Donald Trump will only divide us further.
To the Republicans and Independents who refuse to vote for Trump: there is room for you in our campaign.

Of the five boroughs in NYC, Staten Island is Trump's stronghold. Yet today the borough's newspaper, the Staten Island Advance, "enthusiastically" endorsed Harris, calling her "the only choice in 2024," and delivering some tough love to readers 🧵

School’s back in session, and @johnlegend and @JBKSchlossberg are going head-to-head with @PennDems —with @chrissyteigen as referee.
Things got a little intense, but hey, we all agree on one thing: it’s time to call @KamalaHarris Madam President!

Our volunteers are the reason we’re going to win this election.
President @BillClinton came to McKeesport to thank them for their hard work — but not before stopping by a local café in Greensburg for a sweet treat!

I'm volunteering in Pittsburgh right now and got an assignment to "go film the drones" ... that's a new one!

Did you catch these drones flying high above the Steelers’ stadium Monday night? ✨
From the streets to the sky, support for our movement is growing every day.
Pennsylvanians are ready to chart a #NewWayForward and make @KamalaHarris the next President of the United States.
