NEW: The NAACP asked a court to bar Trump's DOJ from deploying federal agents as election monitors as part of its nationwide effort to watch the polls tomorrow.
The judge ordered a hearing today at 1:30 p.m. ET on the NAACP’s motion. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

NAACP General Counsel Kristen Clarke:
Organizations like the NAACP and others do a lot of work on voter education to make sure that communities understand the rules and requirements for voting.
What they don't deserve is the risk of encountering people on behalf of the United States Department of Justice who are there to intimidate or create an atmosphere that would discourage people from freely exercising their right to vote.

People over profits. Period.
NAACP just intervened in the $67B energy deal reshaping Virginia's "data center alley" because Black communities have borne the brunt of problematic energy issues far too long.
Civil rights and environmental justice must be front and center when fossil fuel use is being discussed, and the cost of utilities is on the line.
We've advocated against shutoffs, for renewable energy projects, and for low-income energy assistance, and we're just getting started.
Are we going to act like this is normal?
When a sitting president boasts about the "very bad things" he could have done to his political rivals, that's not bravado. It's unchecked power and, quite frankly, threatening.

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee sues the Trump administration, alleging taxpayer-funded television ads violate propaganda law. apnews.com/article/trump-tax…
President Trump's recent remarks suggesting Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego are unconscionable and cannot be laughed off as a joke or explained away.
For a president to invite another country to attack his own citizens is disqualifying, disgraceful, and shameful.
To say this, then turn around and come to Baltimore to praise the Navy? We are witnessing a president completely disconnected from the very military service members and families he is inciting violence against.
President Trump defended the war with Iran during a campaign rally in Nebraska, calling its economic impact a “small price to pay” for keeping the U.S. and the world safe.
“They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego,” Trump said while discussing the threat he says Iran poses to the U.S. He also called the war “artificial” and said he expects it to end “very soon.” Trump was in Nebraska campaigning for Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts ahead of the November midterms.

U.S. Senator @CoryBooker breaks down what the Protect College Sports Act does! I’m also taking a closer look at college coaching salaries and who really benefits!
Watch my full take on YouTube and let me know if you agree or disagree with the Protect College Sports Act? bit.ly/4hrftWs
This is and will always be about who has the power…👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
.@Foxworth24 opened today's episode with thoughts on the Protect College Sports Act and what it's really about 👀
"The core of it is about re-establishing the power the NCAA had in the past – that the court system determined was illegal."

If a coach creates so much revenue, how much do those who actually play?
Let's be for real here. No one is saying coaches shouldn't be paid. It's about giving players — who actually create the revenue — a seat at the actual negotiating table.

You know what would “enhance” players opportunities to be more successful?
The ability to be at the table and negotiate when decisions are being made about their lives and their future.
Quit looking into cameras and “HUDDLE UP!”
The Supreme Court's decision to allow Trump's error-riddled "SAVE" database advances an agenda that threatens voters, not protects them. Qualified citizens could be wrongly flagged as non-citizens.
To be clear: this ruling does not permit mass voter roll purges.
With fewer than 40 days until the #midterms, we're urging every voter to check their registration, make a plan to vote, and report unlawful actions to 866-OUR-VOTE.
#WethePeople have the power. We will not stop fighting for a fair, accessible democracy.

Clarke: There is still more work to be done. There are still hard questions that need to be asked. There are still witnesses who need to be pressed to help this family get the answers they deserve. I spent a lot of time with Nolan Wells’s mother and father, and they are grieving. Nobody has been able to put forth anything that can explain why their son is not here today. There needs to be more focus on the blunt force trauma to the back of Nolan Wells’s head.

Popok: How did the Mississippi official examiner, how did he account for the wounds and trauma points on Nolan Wells's back and head?
NAACP General Counsel Kristen Clarke: We don't know. Drowning is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning you have to rule out every other possibility. And so it is hard to figure out how we get from A to Z here, particularly where the autopsy also revealed that there was no water in Nolan's lungs.

The First Amendment is sacred. The truth is sacred. Donald Trump’s move to ban professional journalists who deliver the facts every day from the White House can only be described as authoritarian.
We stand with journalists and all who defend press freedom.

Armed agents at the polls? Not on our watch.
We're suing the Trump administration to stop the intimidation of Black, Latino, Asian, and immigrant voters this election season.
We will continue to clear a path to #midterms, because fear tactics won't have the final say. The voters will.
Get ready with us at naacp.org/vote.
