Mary Kay Heling was one of 65,000+ NC voters whose lawful ballot was challenged by losing Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. Today, she told Congress how it felt to be targeted—and raised alarm over DOJ efforts to question NC’s voter rolls.

Texas lawmakers are back in session—and Gov. Abbott is wasting no time pushing a racist redistricting scheme. Instead of solving real problems like flooding or public safety, he’s prioritizing partisan power grabs. We see you. #TXLege

🔪Cuts to disaster relief. 🔪Cuts to food assistance. 🔪Cuts to public health. Meanwhile? Billionaires are richer than ever—and Trump & the GOP keep handing them more tax cuts. They’re not “shrinking government.” They’re bleeding working people dry. #PeopleOverProfits

Democrats: “Gerrymandering is a threat to democracy!” Also Democrats (in California): “Unless it helps us win more seats.” Hey @GavinNewsom, if you’re going to copy Texas, maybe don’t pick their worst idea.

John Lewis taught us that “Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part.” We must continue the struggle by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Texas gerrymanders and it’s wrong. California thinking about doing it too? Still wrong. Gov. Newsom: You don’t fight anti-democracy with more anti-democracy. Gerrymandering isn’t a game and voters deserve fair maps—everywhere!

Emil Bove is a danger to the rule of law. According to a whistleblower, he suggested the administration say “F*** you” to a court order, and he dropped charges in a corrupt deal with the mayor of NYC. He is unfit to be a judge. Call your senators and tell them to Oppose Bove.
