In this moment, where we have seen America's democracy threatened with erosion, with attack,
matched
It hasn't been by the people who built it.
matched
And in fact, the people who have been most threatened for its further demise have been the ones who have stepped up and stood in the gap.
matched
whether that's Beanie Thompson on the January 6th committee, whether that's Letitia James as the attorney general in the state of New York, whether that is Alvin Bragg as the DA in Manhattan, whether that's people like Luis Lucas.
matched
It has been people of color who have put themselves on the front line for America's democracy yet again, even as the people who would seek to tear it down would denigrate, attack, and seek to castigate those same folks in those same communities.
matched
And so it is ironic that the group which American democracy arguably owes the most to has been the most active in trying to preserve it, in fighting for it, in making sure that American democracy remains protected.
matched
And so for anyone who is wondering, like, why do you have to point out the fact that this is a Black woman?
matched
That's why.
matched
Because folks need to recognize the importance and the unfailing contributions
matched
that we have continuously made in the name of a system that arguably has not always served us the way that we have fought to serve it.

The efforts to gerrymander from the House of Representatives was really, really, really interesting.

Let's listen to Mike Johnson, House Speaker, and see what he had to say in response to what took place in Virginia.
matched
Hyper-partisan boondoggle.
matched
I don't know what in the name of word salad that means, but what I do know is that had this worked out a different way for Republicans, Mike Johnson is probably not saying about Virginia what he's saying about Virginia today.
matched
That much I know.
matched
I don't know what a boondoggle is.
matched
I don't know what he intends to imply by hyper-partisan, but I'm pretty, pretty certain that
matched
that his feelings about Virginia are based on the outcome, not the premise.
matched
And that's something that he wants you to believe.
