Trump admin suffered big defeat in court today as federal judge slammed its "bad faith" in adding citizenship question to 2020 census & ruled challengers can depose senior officials from Commerce & DOJ motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Trump admin absurdly claimed census citizenship question needed to enforce Voting Rights Act, but judge didn’t buy that. “The Department of Justice has shown little interest in enforcing the Voting Rights Act” he said.
Steve Bannon & Kris Kobach lobbied Trump admin to add citizenship question to 2020 census. They want to exclude noncitizens from political representation & shift political power to GOP motherjones.com/politics/2018/…

A very dark day for democracy in Wisconsin

Lame duck coups

Extreme gerrymandering

Rampant voter suppression

Eviscerating campaign finance

RIP to 97-year-old civil rights activist Rosanell Eaton who passed away yesterday

She passed literacy test to register to vote & then registered over 4,000 people. She was plaintiff in @ncnaacp lawsuit challenging NC voter ID law

A remarkable woman I was honored to know
Rosanell Eaton had to pass literacy test in 1940s to register to vote under Jim Crow

Then when NC passed voter ID law she had to make 11 trips to different state agencies to get right ID

NC just passed new version of voter ID law in lame duck session thenation.com/article/the-92…
As I wrote in my book Give Us the Ballot, civil rights hero Rosanell Eaton had to recite Preamble to Constitution to register to vote under Jim Crow

70 years later she was still fighting for voting rights in North Carolina & joined @RevDrBarber's Moral Monday movement

Breaking: North Carolina GOP passes voter ID law in lame duck session before they lose supermajority & Dem gov can veto

Law targets voter impersonation, which is practically non-existent, while doing little to stop massive election fraud committed by GOP in NC09
Last time NC GOP passed voter ID law court said it targeted black voters "with almost surgical precision"

motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
This is very important

NC's last voter ID law exempted mail-in ballots, where massive election fraud in NC9 committed, while targeting voter impersonation, which is basically non-existent

That's b/c Dems vote more in person while GOP votes more absentee

BREAKING: Federal judge says the Trump administration can't roll back the Flores settlement that limits the time the gov can hold children in immigration politico.com/story/2018/07/…
Judge Gee blasted the admin's bid to hold families with kids in ICE long-term, calling it "a cynical attempt...to shift responsibility to the Judiciary for over 20 years of Congressional inaction and ill-considered Executive action that have led to the current stalemate."
Judge Gee to the Trump admin on overturning a decades-old settlement: "Defendants seek to light a match to the Flores Agreement and ask this Court to upend the parties’ agreement by judicial fiat." politico.com/f/?id=00000164…
