Summary
Look Forward exposes how Southern Republicans are systematically destroying Black voting rights because the Confederacy never died, it just rebranded as the modern GOP. We break down the ongoing assault on Black political representation nationwide, especially in former Confederate states. Gas prices are up 50% on average since Trump launched his illegal Iran war, devastating American families while the conflict drags on. CIA intelligence suggests the "excursion" is going exactly as poorly as predicted. Chief Justice John Roberts is reportedly sad that being a corrupt hack will define his lasting legacy on the Supreme Court. Rudy Giuliani, even on death's door, continues his grifting lifestyle. Kamala Harris demands the DNC release its 2024 election autopsy report. The GOP's White House ballroom price tag keeps mysteriously increasing, now potentially costing taxpayers over a billion dollars. The FBI raids the office of a top Democratic leader in Virginia who led the state's anti-gerrymandering effort. Ivermectin is back! MAGA world pushes horse paste for hantavirus treatment.
