Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Condolences or get well soon or whatever we're supposed to say about Mitch in 34 hours and 22 minutes.

Can I beseech everyone to never get used to Trump’s corrupt, criminal, cruel and indecent behavior nor ever imagine that any of this is acceptable from someone occupying our White House?

Haitian families deserve certainty, not fear. While the Supreme Court allowed the Trump Administration to move forward with ending TPS, Congress can still act. The House passed a bipartisan TPS extension for Haiti. Now, the Senate needs to finish the job.

What an abomination.

"The same Supreme Court that told Black voters in Alabama and Texas that they’d have to live with illegal maps because a primary was four months away had no problem blowing up an ongoing election in Louisiana."

The Supreme Court Drops All Pretense of Fairness

The Supreme Court spent years telling us it couldn’t change the maps too close to an election. Then it tore them up in the middle of one.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Things are tough right now. Groceries and gas are forcing people into credit card debt, energy bills are soaring, tariffs are driving up the cost of a ton of things, farmers don't know if they're going to be able to afford/get fertilizer. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy:

Really not sure how a democracy comes back from "no, that statewide election with a clear result didn't count because we say so." When of course in my state we 1) didn't even get a vote and 2) the state police held guns to the opposition, including my representative, to get their bill passed.

Benched. 🗳️🤦‍♂️

Don't let the recent set backs in VA and TN convince you your vote doesn't count. Register yourself and others. Learn your ballot. Take others to the polls. Become a poll judge. Do it NOW.

BREAKING: Well-timed oil bets ahead of major Iran war announcements totaled at least $7 billion, far exceeding earlier estimates, per Reuters. The trades, spanning crude, gasoline, and diesel futures across multiple exchanges in March and April, and were ALWAYS done before announcements by Trump.

This is the scene at the Tennessee Capitol as we get closer to a final vote.

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

Someone is insider trading on crude oil shorts using Iran War announcements from the White House…and making a LOT of money. You better bet we’ll be investigating ⬇️

BREAKING: Nearly $920 million in crude oil shorts were placed at 3:40 AM ET, about 70 minutes before Axios reported the U.S. and Iran were nearing a “14-point” deal to end the war. Oil then plunged more than 12%, with the position gaining an estimated $125 million. Unusual.

“This is a break glass emergency moment.” Melissa Murray says the Supreme Court’s conservative majority is using “colorblindness” to turn the Voting Rights Act on its head: treating states that try to remedy racial gerrymandering as if they’re the ones discriminating.

NEW: In a brief filed with SCOTUS, civil rights groups contend that under the court’s own history of applying “the Purcell principle,” it is too late into the election season to suspend it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Civil rights groups say Purcell principle prevents Louisiana from suspending elections when votes have already been cast

Black voters are pressing SCOTUS to apply the Purcell principle, which says voting rules and maps shouldn't be changed too close to an election.
