American democracy began in 1965. It will end in 2026 when the Roberts Court overturns the Voting Rights Act.

Didn’t she also party switch and give them a veto-proof majority, allowing for more voter suppression bills? This is about more than just ICE.

Seems like a thing more people should be mad about

And not for nothing, but at summer camp, our open, welcoming, and inclusive dense-suburban Pack brought home the awards for most accurate scouts with both a bow and BB gun. So tell me again how our community seemingly isn’t good enough for insecure Hegseth. Fuck that guy.

As a Cubmaster and active Scouter parent (and speaking for myself, obviously, and not anyone else): Pete Hegseth can kiss my ass.

My level of rage grows with each day of this administration and every bullshit trip back to an imaginary idyllic 50’s culture war initiative.

Not sure how many different ways we can say it, but Trump is going to try as possible many ways as he can to take over and manipulate the voting procedures for the 2026 midterms 👇

I asked Ari Berman—who has covered Voting Rights for more than a decade—to take on the concern that it's doomerism to take Trump's threats to steal the 2026 elections seriously.

He thinks we're having the wrong conversation.

Senator Markey nails it - there is no clause in the Constitution or anywhere else that allows a President to commandeer state elections.

This is a love song to what the Latino community brings to the US - protest in art in its purest form and its widely entertaining. Well done all the way around.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Yes, before people pile on, I know progressives cannot unilaterally disarm for our values. I get it. But that doesn’t mean it’s the right course of action for our country and not without consequences.

Independent, fair, nonpartisan maps are the goal. Everywhere. We all deserve a voice.

Supreme Court allows California to use new congressional map, giving Democrats a boost The map, which voters approved last year, could allow Democrats to gain up to five House seats in this year's midterm elections.

Good news in the short term, because it stops the race to control the House from being tilted by one cynical, vengeful party.

Bad news long term. Extreme partisan gerrymandering isn’t it. Never has been. Drives down participation at a time when we need it most.
