4. In an amicus brief, McConnell, Cruz and others say that states should be free to make any "time, place, and manner" changes to voting procedures regardless of how they impact communities of color https://t.co/PX473Wj4th — PolitiTweet.org

3. The case was actually filed by the Democratic Party, challenging two changes to Arizona voting procedures. But now, McConnell and others are urging the Court to use the case as a way undermine the rest of the VRA and greenlight voter suppression https://t.co/PX473Wj4th — PolitiTweet.org

2. In 2013, Chief Justice John Roberts crippled the voting rights act by gutting Section 5, which required pre-clearance of voting changes in areas with a history of discrimination But discriminatory changes are still illegal under Section 2 https://t.co/PX473Wj4th — PolitiTweet.org

1. At the urging of Trump, GOP legislators are introducing hundreds of bills to restrict voting Today, the Supreme Court considers a case that could obliterate what's left of the Voting Rights Act — the last line of defense against voter suppression https://t.co/PX473Wj4th — PolitiTweet.org

@ryangrim @KateAronoff I’d also add that Substack didn’t invent the newsletter or the notion of independent journalism. IF Stone did it in the 60s and 70s and did a much better job of reporting on Vietnam than most journalists in newsrooms. — PolitiTweet.org

@guypbenson It seems like people are projecting a lot of things onto Substack. It’s a platform to publish a paid or free newsletter. What’s in the newsletter is up to you. — PolitiTweet.org

6. Whatever the cause, right now we are protecting the interests of large corporations and subordinating human rights. It's worth asking why. For more independent accountability journalism, sign up for the newsletter. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

5. Blinken resigned from his role at WestExec and is selling his stake in the company. It's not that he will personally profit. But he has spent years looking out for the interests of big corporations. He's acutely aware of the impact of alienating MBS https://t.co/V5AilvCVdx — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Until he was confirmed as SecState in January, Blinken was running WestExec Advisors. Blinken helped large corporations navigate the world. Among his clients were many companies that have major business with Saudi Arabia: @uber, @microsoft, @SoftBank https://t.co/V5AilvCVdx — PolitiTweet.org

3. In 2018, shortly after Khashoggi's murder, many US companies boycotted MBS' annual conference, known as "Davos in the Desert" When the event was held again this January, almost all were back. The facts hadn't changed but the money is irresistible. https://t.co/V5AilvCVdx — PolitiTweet.org

2. One major factor, IMO, is money. MBS controls Saudi's $400 billion sovereign wealth fund. He has a plan to build it up to $1T. That makes MBS a valued partner of many powerful corporations. https://t.co/V5AilvCVdx — PolitiTweet.org

1. Last week the US finally acknowledged the TRUTH: That Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) ordered the murder of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi But there were not CONSEQUENCES for MBS What gives? https://t.co/V5AilvCVdx — PolitiTweet.org

Cuomo now out with his third proposal. Asks Tish James to designate a private attorney to conduct the investigation. This isn’t what James asked for but it’s closer. — PolitiTweet.org

Stephen Miller is upset that Biden isn't continuing his radical immigration policies, so he wrote this part of the speech that Trump is now reading. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

The New York Attorney General, Tish James, rejects Cuomo's proposal. She says he should make a referral to her office, which would give her the authority to conduct an independent investigation. Seems straightforward. https://t.co/huFRS8YOwV — PolitiTweet.org
