Summary

What a day we've had, Lemon nation. The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to strike down what remained of the Voting Rights Act. This ruling essentially deals a death blow to the nations most important civil rights law. On Capitol Hill, Pete Hegseth sat before the House Armed Services Committee and was grilled about how much money this war is costing Americans. It wasn't pretty.
