Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down.
That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

Listen if you don’t want to write, stop wanting to be a writer. Go find something you actually want to do.
One thing that I notice is that books and games that use AI text keep getting caught out because they cut and pasted the text and didn't remove the prompts or replies. Which suggests that using AI goes hand in hand with a general "fuck it, that'll do" lack of attention to detail throughout.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
