The Roberts Court destroyed what’s left of the Voting Rights Act — the civil rights law that helped usher in our multiracial democracy. Congress can do something about this. Stay informed by subscribing to The Briefing, our free weekly newsletter: bit.ly/3Yrz5jM

Despite the federal government’s attempts to undermine U.S. elections ahead of the 2026 midterms, we can and will have free and fair elections. @mawaldman.bsky.social at the Brennan Legacy Awards dinner.

President Trump has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern U.S. elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him, and we won. We expect the same result this time.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social introduced this year’s Brennan Legacy Award recipient, @raskin.house.gov, praising his commitment to defending the U.S. Constitution and noting, “what a beautiful inheritance that we’ve all been given to live in this country under the rule of law.”

More bad news from Trump’s economy. At 3.8%, inflation is at its highest level in ~3 years. Republicans need to start working with Dems to put an end to Trump’s inflation-fueling war in Iran & start lowering costs for working families.
