The news can be overwhelming, but it can also inform, inspire, and focus our engagement. Let’s gird our loins and take a quick peek.
  1. The U.S. Supreme Court has dealt a significant blow to the Voting Rights Act.

  2. The “Secretary of War” testified before the House Armed Services Committee, scolding critics of the administration and calling them “the biggest adversary.”

  3. The Department of Justice has again indicted James Comey, this time arguing that a photo of seashells on the beach constituted a threat to assassinate the president. In another embarrassment, the Department filed this “pleading” in the White House ballroom litigation. And the FCC is questioning whether Disney’s ABC stations are operating in the public interest, presumably because the president is mad at Jimmy Kimmel again.

  3. A federal appeals court rejected the administration’s policy of detention without bond for immigrants targeted for deportation. (Read it if you need to cleanse your palate after that ballroom “filing.”)
