RIP VRA (feat. Traci Feit Love)

Thursday, April 30th, 2026

Today, the Supreme Court gutted what was left of the Voting Rights Act in a 6-3 ruling over Louisiana maps; Trump’s FCC ordered a review of ABC’s broadcasting license because Jimmy Kimmel makes jokes; the DOJ is dismissing conspiracy charges against the Broadview six including Kat Abughazaleh; a Pentagon official tells Congress the war in Iran has cost $25B so far; right after Democrats filed contempt charges against Pam Bondi she announced she’ll be appearing for a deposition May 29th; a new Colorado conversion therapy ban with a clever mechanism is close to passing in the state; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
