SCOTUS spent Wednesday morning trying to figure out a way to legalize racial gerrymandering. trib.al/TvPE4dc
The justices appeared to single out Section 2, which (if gutted) would wipe out Black congressional representation in the South—at a scale unseen since the end of Reconstruction

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

The CFPB has returned over $21B to consumers by holding big banks accountable, tackling discrimination, & more.
But now, the Trump Admin is promising to kill this essential agency.
This is shameful and unlawful. And the cruelty is the point.

Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power.

With each passing day the Trump admin makes Vance’s Feb demands in the Oval Office that Zelensky thank Trump look even more ridiculous and obnoxious.
Thanks for nothing but false promises, deception, hucksterism, idiocy, bad faith, and lies.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.
What we have is an appropriations king.
Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.
