It is impossible to understand the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act cases without the context that John Roberts has hated the Voting Rights Act since he was working to water it down as a 26-year-old Reagan staffer. This is his life’s work, and he can’t wait to finish the job.
Killing the Voting Rights Act Is John Roberts’s Life’s Work
As a 26-year-old Reagan staffer, Roberts was already convinced the Voting Rights Act had to go. He can’t wait to finish the job.

The Trump administration is coming after the disabled community. When the @advocate.nyc.gov appointed me as a D75 Council Member, I took an oath to protect our children’s rights to education , and I take that seriously. Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive—whatever that looks like. #Pinks
My latest for @msnbc.com: The Trump administration's gutting the special education personnel not only betrays people with disabilities; it rolls back the work of four Republican presidents who passed bills for special education (Nixon, Ford, and the Bushes)

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

4/ Ok, so then the obvious next step is to negotiate a compromise. That's how we've always avoided shutdowns. And Republicans need to convene those talks, bc they're in charge.
But here's the kicker - Trump is telling them to BOYCOTT NEGOTIATING. And they are following orders.

As a mother of a child who is finally thriving because of his IEP (and correct diagnosis and the right meds), this makes me sick and furious. Why proactively threaten the availability of proven tools that can help all of our kids learn and contribute to society to the extent possible?
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

They haven't scheduled a vote since September 19.
Remember that the next time they try to blame the shutdown on Democrats.
