If you care about voting rights, you’ll want to pay attention to Texas’ Senate race this November. Ken Paxton is the GOP nominee in that race, and as Legal Content Editor Ashley Cleaves explains, he gives pro-democracy voters a lot to be concerned about.

BIG PICTURE: Louisiana's governor has declared a state of emergency to halt the ongoing congressional primaries. “I wonder…when we get to the general election,” says @marcelias.bsky.social, “whether or not we will have, for example, a president of the United States who will think he can do this.”

Florida is the latest state to join Republicans attempting to gerrymander their way to electoral victory. But will they actually come out on top when the dust settles? @marcelias.bsky.social is joined by @ashleycleaves.bsky.social to break down their predictions. https://bit.ly/4dclNAk

The Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act was the worst opinion of @marcelias.bsky.social’s lifetime. “We are going to see Republicans…try to use this to try to delegitimize, to try to say it is illegitimate for any community of Black voters to elect their candidate of choice.”

We need more voices speaking up to fight against the demolition of democracy in our country, Marc Elias says. “This is rolling back the foundation of what made America possibly a democracy, beginning in the 1960s. And yet, in most corners, there’s silence.”

Chad Bianco, a GOP county sheriff who is running for governor of California, seized 650k ballots cast in last year’s redistricting special election. During a televised debate, the leading Democratic candidate in that race has accused Bianco of breaking the law. https://bit.ly/4tVtDUV

Trump wants $1.8 billion for a slush fund dedicated to victims of government "weaponization." But will the DOJ be able to ensure that those named in the Epstein files won’t be eligible? Sen. Chris @vanhollen.senate.gov (D-MD) pressed acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on the issue.

There are no property ownership requirements to vote in this country. Yet, the Election Integrity Network does not want homeless people to be able to vote, Marc Elias said. “They are U.S. citizens, and they are as entitled to vote as anyone else,” Marc said.

As states like Louisiana and Tennessee redraw their congressional maps, one aspect is particularly concerning. “I am struck by the relish, by the glee, the joy that these southern states right now are taking in destroying Black opportunity districts,” @marcelias.bsky.social said.

If you serve in the Cabinet, honesty to the American people is not optional. Lying is wrongdoing. Secretary Lutnick lied about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and today we will hold him accountable and demand answers.

Americans are working longer hours just to keep up with rent, groceries, and bills. Instead of helping them, Republicans are planning to use $400 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to fund Trump’s gilded ballroom. This is exactly where their priorities lie.
