They better not cave on our healthcare
Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

📌Any news organization that advocates for THEM and reports on their quality-of-life issues will potentially be squashed.

The Supreme Court, in a furtive August ploy, revives a Louisiana case to eviscerate the Voting Rights Act, cynically deeming minority districts discriminatory against whites, unraveling multiracial democracy's fragile facade. #VotingRights

The Voting Rights Act, a key law that has long protected minority voters time and time again, celebrated its 60th birthday this week.

But after SCOTUS took square aim at the legislation's constitutionality last week, this year might be its last.

BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

From the perspective of a former prosecutive who worked on trafficking cases, the loss of this office can only be intended to make it easier for the traffickers. There is literally no rationale for doing this.
