Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day β€” even if mailed on time under state law β€” should not be counted.

Puerto Rico residents paid over $5 billion in federal taxes in fiscal year 2023, dispelling the myth that they pay no federal taxes, with a total tax burden (federal, state, and local) that is comparable to or higher than many U.S. states.

209. The Modern Emergency Docket Turns Ten The February 2016 rulings blocking the Clean Power Plan were unprecedented; in retrospect, they were harbingers of a paradigm shift in the Supreme Court's role.

Ten years ago today, #SCOTUS issued five unsigned and unexplained 5-4 rulings granting emergency applications to block President Obama’s Clean Power Planβ€”a completely unprecedented move that helped to usher in the Court’s modern … (mis)adventures … with its shadow docket.

How can any prosecutor worth his salt suggest in light of evidence like this Epstein did not run a sex-trafficking ring? Todd Blanche needs to step down. And Patel.

Hello, my name is. [if you are a constituent, say I live in your district, in zip code #####]. 
I am concerned about the conditions of the Dilley Detention Center in your district. People inside are reporting lack of medical access, inhumane conditions, and there is a noticeable lack of resources. 
I would like to know what action Congressman Gonzales plans to take to address these violations of safety and endangerment of children and people’s lives.

Call US Congressman Tony Gonzales.
The detention center keeping Liam Ramos is in his district. According to his website he is a republican & supports all of ICE's policies & activities.

You do not need to be a constituent to call.
