Ugh—AL Secretary of State directed removal from voter rolls any individuals registered to vote who were EVER issued noncitizen identification numbers yet admitted many included naturalized citizens. Referred all 3251 names to AG for criminal investigation & potential prosecution.

Hope you remember this: In accepting presidential nomination at DNC Convention, #KamalaHarris said she was inspired by Thurgood Marshall & Constance Baker Motley, “who battled in the courtroom to make real the promise of America,” to become a lawyer. This was truly extraordinary.

Great to be with NAACP President Derrick Johnson at the Congressional The Black Caucus event in Washington, where we spoke about the importance of #DEI in the investment industry, and investing in communities of color!

There are more than 250 Republican Members of Congress. Less than 5 have firmly denounced Donald Trump’s close affiliation with the conspiracy-peddling bigot Laura Loomer. Why is it so difficult for extreme MAGA Republicans to distinguish right from wrong?

Spoke with alexwagner about the North Carolina Supreme Court’s shameless decision to remove RFK Jr. from the ballot long after the deadline, destabilizing and abridging early voting in direct violation of the law.

❤️ to see this. Hope everyone knows Josh Stein’s father, Adam Stein, is a tremendous civil rights lawyer who founded the first integrated law firm in North Carolina with Julius Chambers, the iconic civil rights lawyer who later served as third Director-Counsel of Legal Defense Fund.

We must stay focused on the Senate. It is vital to President Harris getting the cabinet and judges she wants. “Republicans in 7 of 8 key Senate races appear to be trailing Trump…making control of Senate more up in the air than might have been predicted.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

Incited by JD Vance against innocent children living in a state he purports to represent. He should resign from the Senate in shame. Forget about VP—he should leave public office now.

Among many public officials intent on denying voters of color their right to participate, AG Paxton is leading the race to the bottom. Bexar County is most populous majority-Hispanic county in Texas. This is no accident.

Let’s do this Maryland & Delaware, and send two Black women to Senate for 1st time in history. And let’s get the nation to elect the Senate that President Harris needs to get the cabinet she wants, the judges we need & the legislation that’s long overdue. nytimes.com/2024/09/16/us/…

May Mississippi one day be truly represented. This state has been suppressing the vote for so long. It was the first state DOJ sued under Voting Rights Act of 1965. It has highest % Black pop of any state. It still has not elected a Black candidate statewide since Reconstruction.
