Szabo was extradited from Romania to face justice in an American courtroom, and today he has reaped the consequences of his actions.Members of Congress, cabinet officials, the heads of federal law enforcement agencies, churches, journalists — Thomasz Szabo and his followers targeted them all with swatting calls and fake bomb threats designed to send armed police to their doors.

SCOTUS 6–3 Decision on Racial Gerrymandering
— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) April 29, 2026
This is YUUUGE!!! Big day in constitutional law. VRA remains intact, but to protect Americans AGAINST discrimination rather than requiring it to engineer racial outcomes. So proud of the @CivilRights team who pushed this amicus forward with our incredible SG colleagues. https://t.co/ZSle6qmH0r

π¨ In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana's new congressional map that added a second majority-black district, holding that it constitutes a racial gerrymander.

The Court narrows its previous interpretation of the Voting Rights Act. pic.twitter.com/rqy3POxauJ
Representative Josh Williams
I'm a black Republican who currently represents a majority-white district in the Ohio State House and is running to represent a majority-white district in Congress.
The idea that black Americans need special districts carved out just for them is complete nonsense. It's a violation of the law and blatantly unconstitutional.
Glad the Supreme Court made the right decision.
… As I explained more than 30 years ago, I would go further and hold that §2 of the Voting Rights Act does not regulate districting at all. The relevant text prohibits States from imposing or applying a “voting qualification,” “prerequisite to voting,” or “standard, practice, or procedure,” in a manner that results in a denial or abridgement of the right to vote based on race. 52 U. S. C. §10301(a). How States draw district lines does not fall within any of those three categories. The words in §2 instead “reach only ‘enactments that regulate citizens’ access to the ballot or the processes for counting a ballot’; they ‘do not include a State’s . . . choice of one districting scheme over another.’” Therefore, no §2 challenge to districting should ever succeed.”NEW: SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas issues a separate concurrence agreeing with the majority 6-3 decision on racial gerrymandering, but says he would have gone further:

“Today’s decision should largely put an end to this “disastrous misadventure” in voting-rights jurisprudence.…
… “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.Obama has supported and campaigned for every outrageous Democratic gerrymander, including in Illinois.

But now he puts out a sanctimonious statement when the Supreme Court rightfully blocks racial discrimination in redistricting.
What a fraud. https://t.co/XqaX0AC6KQ
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
