It's no coincidence that Trump went nuclear on John Thune to pass SAVE Act just as GOP is detoriating in generic ballot. Latest polls are striking: Fox D+7 Pew D+6 Emerson D+11 On the pod, @ariberman.bsky.social is so good on Trump's coming effort to steal midterms: newrepublic.com/article/2134...

Super important conversation about voting and elections… youtu.be/gBWYxEQoxHQ?... @slate.com @motherjones.com @ariberman.bsky.social @paigeosburn.bsky.social
A federal judge in Atlanta has quashed a DOJ subpoena seeking the names and personal info of Fulton County's 2020 election workers. “Georgia is just a microcosm of what they're planning to do to interfere in the midterms,” says @ariberman.bsky.social, voting rights correspondent for Mother Jones.
Last night, the Roberts Court once again handed Republicans another shocking gerrymandering win in Alabama. For the second time in three weeks, they green-lit an Alabama congressional map that a lower court has repeatedly found intentionally discrim inates against Black voters.
Big redistricting news: New York Democrats plan to unveil and pass a constitutional amendment by Thursday that would let them redraw the congressional map in 2028 and target up to 4 GOP seats. They will need to pass it again next year and win a November 2027 referendum for it to take effect
In the wake of Louisiana v. Callais, Republicans are moving to eliminate at least half a dozen majority-Black districts in the Deep South between now and 2028. That would trigger the largest drop in Black representation since the end of Reconstruction.
A three-judge federal court panel with two Trump appointees just issued a stunning rebuke to the Roberts Court.
NEW 🧵: Here's how Dems could redraw 9 congressional maps by 2028 & target more than 20 GOP seats. The GOP tried to rig the national map in 2026, & Dems had few ways to respond. But Dems could fully counteract them by 2028. We have example maps for each state www.the-downballot.com/p/how-democr...

We've got @ariberman.bsky.social on Posting Through It this week, talking about the GOP's mad dash at partisan gerrymandering ahead of 2026 midterms. By stacking the deck in their favor, Republicans hope to hold on to their control against the will of voters. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/1...
Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.
There’s actually a chance the president could be elected by the popular vote in 2028 instead of the fundamentally undemocratic Electoral College. Watch:
I spoke to @ariberman.bsky.social about the Southern states' mad rush to destroy Black and Brown voting power in the wake of Callais
Roberts has been trying to kill the Voting Rights Act for more than 40 years, and it looks like he’s finally succeeded.
Crucial point from @ariberman.bsky.social on the pod: Dems have already tried leading by example as a way to try to entice Rs to deescalate the hardball. It failed. Time to try something else: Dems must now engage in redistricting Total War. Our exchange on this: newrepublic.com/article/2102...
New Marist poll has Dems +10 in House matchup. That's why Trump is openly celebrating that Rs are gerrymandering while Ds are getting stopped in Virginia. His explicit position is Rs should play by their own rules. On the pod, @ariberman.bsky.social is great on this: newrepublic.com/article/2102...
