“Project,” quadruple “dissent,” and no “respectfully” are a strong signal of being truly fed up. Deservedly.

Energy prices are already climbing. I pressed Secretary Burgum on what the plan is to protect Arizona families from another rate hike.

This is a crushing blow to our democracy. We cannot stand by as Trump's extreme SCOTUS eviscerates protections against voter suppression that heroes like Dr. King and John Lewis marched for. We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Now.

Today's Supreme Court decision essentially guts the last remaining tool of the Voting Rights Act used to prevent racial gerrymanders. Republicans across the country can now redraw congressional maps to even further disenfranchise communities of color. Yet another partisan and destructive decision.

But under this Supreme Court and Republicans in Congress, that promise is being undermined at every turn. I will continue fighting to protect, defend, and strengthen our democracy and ensure that every American can use their voice.

Today’s SCOTUS decision is an attack on equal representation, with devastating and far-reaching consequences that extend well beyond congressional maps. The Voting Rights Act is a fundamental promise of fair representation.

There should be strong penalties for malignly motivated, unfounded criminal charges weaponizing DOJ against political adversaries—as exist in many state laws & my bill would impose.

Donald Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court just took a sledgehammer to one of the most important civil rights laws in American history. This decision is yet another brazen power grab to diminish Americans’ right to vote. Congress must respond to protect our democracy.

Today's SCOTUS ruling doesn't uphold the law, it destroys it. The ultra-right-wing, captured Supreme Court has sacrificed Black and Brown votes to gift Republicans more seats in Congress that they're incapable of winning at the polls. This is a huge blow to our democracy and to racial justice.

Is slavery a partisan ideology? It's a yes or no question. But Sec. Burgum would not answer. He refused to answer in a Senate hearing, yet has happily used "partisan ideology" as a pretext to scrub the history of slavery from our national parks. Unacceptable.

Today’s “now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act” discards decades of binding Court precedent – including a ruling from just three years ago – and big bipartisan majorities in Congress in a project to suppress Democratic votes and tilt elections for Republicans.
- SW
In addition to jeopardizing the voting rights of millions of Americans, the Callais decision is just more proof that billionaire and fossil-fuel dark money built this Supreme Court to obediently serve the political interests of the Republican party.
- SW
In doing so, the Court effectively rewrote the Voting Rights Act as enacted by Congress and ignored a mountain of factual findings, substituting its preferred facts to reach this desired outcome.

Today, the right-wing Supreme Court supermajority finished what it started over a decade ago – in Justice Kagan’s words, “a judicial project to destroy the Voting Rights Act.”

Restricting your ability to decide who represents you goes against American values. We need to protect the right to vote, not take it away.

When Colorado faced historic flooding and wildfires, President Trump denied disaster relief to our communities. Disasters don’t care about state lines or politics — and neither should our President’s emergency response.

Justice Kagan put it best: “Under the Court’s new view … a State can, without legal consequence, systematically dilute minority citizens’ voting power.” This ruling amounts to a, “demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” A shameful day.

John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.

Today the Supreme Court struck down protections that Civil Rights leaders marched and died for. Pretending this country no longer needs them is dangerous. This is a power grab. And we must fight back.

The Supreme Court just turned its back on one of the most sacred promises in American democracy—the promise that every voice counts. My statement on the Supreme Court's decision dealing a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act:

Trump’s Supreme Court has gutted the protections that Dr. King marched for. The protections made possible by civil rights protestors who spilled blood in pursuit of a more perfect union. This is a devastating and profound step backwards for American Democracy.

As a former synagogue president, I know how important federal security funding is to protect our places of worship from hateful and violent acts. Unfortunately, programs like the Nonprofit Security Grant Program aren't processing lifesaving grants due to the House Republican shutdown of DHS.

This Court ruling weakens protections against discrimination & undermines fair representation. As Justice Kagan said, it marks the “majority’s now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” We must keep fighting so every American has a voice in our democracy.

The Voting Rights Act was a declaration that our democracy belongs to all of us. I still believe in the promise of our democracy, and I will keep fighting to make it real and to make sure your voice and vote matter.

By restricting Americans’ ability to choose candidates that represent their communities, the Supreme Court has told the nation that some voices and votes are worth less than others.

Generations of Americans marched, served, protested, and died for the promise of our democracy. Today, the Supreme Court continues its steady march to forget that sacrifice and undo that promise.

This is yet another ruling that weakens voting rights for all Americans. The Voting Rights Act has suffered death by a thousand cuts. We must stand up in Congress to restore voting rights and ensure everyone's voice is heard in our elections.

Lady Liberty is crying. Trump is doubling down on his global apartheid policy, refusing entry to real, vetted refugees. Instead, he is using fake claims of “genocide” to admit white South African "refugees." Since October, they make up 99.93% of refugees admitted to the US.

Congress is creating a national school vouchers program. Arizona already tried that, and it took money out of public schools and spent it on luxury goods instead of kids’ education. Swipe to see what happened — and what I'm doing to stop it.
