Congratulations to Rep. Jim McGovern on officially securing the Democratic nomination for #MA02. In office, Rep. McGovern has been a steadfast voice for government transparency and holding powerful special interests accountable. We look forward to helping him win in November.

SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now says it's too soon for states to challenge Trump EO restricting mail voting even though midterms 70 days away. Justice Jackson rightly calls it "Kafkaesque nightmare"

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Dem. appointees, #SCOTUS has *granted* the Trump administration’s request to freeze a district court injunction that had blocked the mail-in ballots executive order. But Trump’s EO remains blocked by a different injunction in a different case—at least for now:

The Trump White House will sabotage mail-in voting, blocking before and disputing after, disenfranchising Americans however they can. The Roberts Court will make up some BS to allow it. It’s wrong, it isn’t fair, it shouldn’t be. But it is. And it’s beatable. Big numbers in person and they lose.

It’s like the referee that refuses to make calls because he doesn’t want to impact the game. By doing so, he’s benefiting the dirtiest team.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

Hmm. Wonder if he talked about the Americans violently assaulted by Jewish settlers in the Wedt Bank, including US politicians & NBC News staff? Netanyahu "condemned" the attacks but somehow no one will be prosecuted. Because if he prosecuted any of the violent Jewish settlers, he'd lose support.
