Judge Halts Part of Florida Law Attacking Direct Democracy Read more here.

In a win for Florida voters, a federal court temporarily blocked some parts of a new state law that makes it harder for residents to put citizen-led initiatives on the ballot. But thanks to SCOTUS’ recent ruling, the block applies only to the groups involved in the lawsuit.

Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill.

But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028.

The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent.

Funny how that works.

SCOTUS to Get Yet Another Chance to Weaken VRA with North Dakota Case Read more here.

If the Supreme Court agrees with the 8th Circuit’s ruling, it could end voters and private groups’ ability to file Section 2 lawsuits, leaving only the U.S. Department of Justice with power to enforce one of the most important protections in federal civil rights law.

The Law Firms’ Deals With Trump Are Looking Worse and Worse Trump’s assault on Big Law has been a big mess.

Just so we’re clear, he wants us to pay more for goods we get from Brazil because he wants to save a foreign political crony on trial for corruption.

Not seeing the “America First” mentality here…

When a storm hits, an alert from public media station may be the only warning rural communities get. Cutting this community resource puts lives at risk.

Tonight, I made it clear: public media is a lifeline—we must fund it, not gut it.

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.

This is inexcusable. She should resign.

Q: There are reports where a fire dept commander asked a Kerr County sheriff dispatcher for a code red to be issued but they said they couldn't without a supervisor approving it. Almost 6 hours passes. How do you account for that lapse of time?

KERR COUNTY SHERIFF: There's gonna be an after action

I remember when MAGA screeched that Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass was on a work trip when a wildfire hit California…and then she came home immediately.

Is MAGA outraged that Cancun Ted Cruz stayed on his vacation for days in Greece as Texas flooded or nah?

Texas is contending with a tragic, historic flood-- and Greg Abbott's priority, RIGHT NOW, is calling a special legislative session for the sole purpose of gerrymandering the state's maps even further. Texans are STILL MISSING, and these Republicans are frothing at the mouth for more power.

Doing great, Donald 👍

We can deliver affordability and fight authoritarianism at the same time. I am eager to partner with state and federal leaders to do exactly that.

This Gothamist photo stopped me in my tracks. The rapidity of how quickly ICE has turned into a masked monster is astonishing and terrifying. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-believ...

Trump was questioned about it during a press conference when she was going to stand trial. According to Trump, he "wished her well." Who wishes well a person facing trial for trafficking in children for sex? Someone is guilty.

All these little twits with their fascism boners slightly denting their Vineyard Vines golf pants — what sad lives they lead.

Watching Republicans throw shit at the walls because they’re desperate to cover up being conned about Donald Trump (not) releasing the Epstein files sure is something.

You know it’s peak desperation when they’re screeching about Obama.
