This isn’t just a political win for Trump. It’s a blessing for racial gerrymandering for political goals. It’s a gift to the administration’s and congressional GOP’s open embrace of white nationalism to hold power by stripping marginalized groups of their rights. This is an American tragedy.

If the men accused of crimes with Epstein are “sent off to live out the last of their days in some kind of shame,” that wouldn’t be bad, Lydia Polgreen says. “You need new figures who are untouched, who were never part of these awful power games and networks that they used to play.”

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
