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.

In both Virginia and Alabama, the people have voted in special and primary elections. But the courts are deciding whether it counted. Democracy Docket Legal Content Editor Ashley Cleaves explains how the redistricting fights in these states are strikingly similar.

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.”

The pro-democracy movement is in for a long, hard fight. But @marcelias.bsky.social is optimistic. “We are not going to restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965,” Marc says. “We are going to exceed that law with something new built for the current moment.” Join our fight: https://bit.ly/4iz4QBg

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.

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.”

*slams laptop shut until Tuesday*

Hakeem Jeffries had a simple message after Trump falsely implied Jeffries’ rhetoric had caused the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner: “Every time Donald Trump wakes up or posts in the middle of the night attacking me, it’s clear we’re getting to him ..." Jeffries told Marc Elias.

If the Supreme Court rules in Trump’s favor in the birthright citizenship case, a U.S. passport will be the only way to prove citizenship. “If you don’t have [a U.S. passport], you’re not going to be able to register to vote,” Marc Elias said.

Trump: "You'll start to see very soon. No country will see the growth that we're going to experience."
