Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb:

“The Constitution is not adequate to deal with a President as evil as Trump—somebody whose desire is to accumulate and abuse power. Trump’s abuses of power are unprecedented.”

Oregon’s kids are about to feel the impact of federal education cuts. Support for teachers, rural schools, and students with special needs is on the line. These aren’t just numbers. They’re classrooms, families, and futures we can’t afford to watch slip away.

This is exactly why this piece is so important. The national conversation has largely flattened the effects of the VRA -- and it's potential demise -- to which party controls Congress. There's so much more to the VRA than that, and so much more on the line
I, for one, have only really thought about the VRA through the prism of federal elections, not local elections.

But this well-reported piece reminds us that ending the VRA will have an impact on ALL levels of representative government.

The Supreme Court may further erode the Voting Rights Act in an upcoming decision. Beyond affecting Congress, that would reverberate across local governments nationwide.

Robert F. Kennedy would have turned 100 this week. In recognition of the milestone, his son, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy, penned an op-ed for the Boston Globe that celebrates his father's legacy and offers a scathing takedown of how his namesake son, RFK Jr. is "betraying" that legacy.

"It's a mission statement that we are all part of a social contract," says biographer Walter Isaacson of the Declaration of Independence and the focus of his new book. "We the people. That's what our government is based on. It's not based on the divine right of kings." #Velshi
Walter Isaacson: Gov’t is based on ‘We the People…it’s not based on the divine right of kings’
Historian Walter Isaacson says the second sentence of The Declaration of Independence is the greatest sentence ever written and explains why in his new book. “That sentence influences everything,” Isaacson tells Ali Velshi. ”Getting people to participate based on that simple mission statement, I think could bring the pendulum back so that we wouldn't be as fractured as we are now,” he said.

Big surprise twitter is a sham.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

SC law almost passed that would have subjected women who have abortions to prison for 30 years; criminalized providing information about how to get an abortion; allowed family members to sue women who had abortions; and eliminated exceptions for rape and incest.

Repubs all voted FOR it.
Always been a feminist, since my first Maureen O’Hara movie.
