The Supreme Court’s conservative majority used outdated examples to say the racial gap in voter turnout has closed, but in reality, the gap is growing — due in part to the Court’s past assaults on the Voting Rights Act. bit.ly/3QIYd5B

"I've heard it argued that this is what you're supposed to do with power," he said. "That this is what you're supposed to do with a super majority. You're supposed to punish your opponents." "Really?" he asks. Calls this an example of how many in power have "lost their way."

When thinking about whether to redistrict now or not, SC legislators should consider the impact on voters of playing such obvious self-interested games. Confidence in the fairness of the political process is already very low. This wouldn’t help either party.

WSJ with a devastating, intensely-sourced article demonstrating how Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff tried to sellout Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe for money. It's so bad one of our European allies shared evidence of the planned business deals. A must-read. wsj.com/world/russia/russia-…

Justice Kavanaugh this morning in the Louisiana case asked if there should be a time limit on racial considerations in redistricting. If the answer is ever to be yes, it will have to be when young partisan allies of the Justice stop sending horrible racist misogynist texts.

Editorial: Fix for SC roads isn't complicated; it's just not what politicians want to hear

Lawmakers are looking for a fancy reason South Carolina's roads and bridges are awful and traffic is so congested. It's not complicated, and streamlining won't fix it. The main problem is money.

Really good question. Scoppe: Is SC getting its money's worth for economic incentives? Does anybody care? postandcourier.com/opinion/c… via @postandcourier

Scoppe: Is SC getting its money's worth for economic incentives? Does anybody care?

Two-thirds of the states regularly evaluate whether their economic incentives are paying off, and tweak the ones that aren't. South Carolina is not among them.

Scoppe: When we neglect mental health treatment, people can die

Monday's murders at NFL headquarters in Manhattan serve as a reminder of our failure to provide adequate mental health services for people who need them. One S.C. case is particularly instructive.

Oligarchs believe that anyone not employed with sufficient income to pay income tax is entitled to no help (Mitt R). However, tech oligarchs expect to become more wealthy as AI displaces workers. So, workers will be instantly transformed into freeloaders and left to starve. Nice.
