Nebraska Supreme Court Empowers Previously Disenfranchised Voters
Nebraska Supreme Court Empowers Previously Disenfranchised Voters Legislative Bill 20 ushers back thousands of Nebraskans to the electoral fold with restored voting rightsThe Nebraska Supreme Court made headlines this past week, ruling in favor of restoring voting rights for individuals with felony convictions. The Supreme Court's decision came as local officials scrambled to adjust to this unexpected legislative change. Following the court's ruling, Brian Kruse, the Douglas County Election Commissioner, had election forms ready to facilitate the registrations of newly eligible voters. Activists believe restoring voting rights should be viewed not solely as restorative justice, but as necessary for reinforcing democratic ideals within communities. The Nebraska Supreme Court's ruling signifies hope and change as the state opens its doors to those who once stood outside the electoral process, contributing to wider reform discussions nationwide.

To explain the larger implications of his death for Hamas, the region and the war with Israel, we're joined now by Daniel Byman. And Hamas has enough power remaining, enough people remaining, where it's going to remain strong in Gaza despite Israeli efforts. SUMMERS: Now I'll just remind folks that Israel also killed Hezbollah's longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, just a few weeks ago.

A Black conservative radio host invoked 'field' and 'house' slaves in arguing why some Black men back Trump
Black conservative radio host Shelley Wynter drew outrage from many when he broke down the Black male electorate in the U.S. into “house African Americans and field African Americans” during an appearance Wednesday on CNN. “This race is between house African Americans and field African Americans, and field African Americans are voting for [Donald] Trump.”During enslavement in the U.S., “house slaves” worked in the main house and generally performed indoor tasks. At the same time, Wynter’s comments highlighted the intensity surrounding the Black male vote and how influential it may be in November. “It just does a disservice to all of us, both as voters and as Black Americans. “There’s nothing that compares to enslavement in the United States or for Black Americans,” he said.

Dodgers manager praises Walker Buehler's NLCS outing after prior struggles in return from Tommy John surgery
Walker Buehler's regular season couldn't have gone much worse following a return from Tommy John surgery, but on Wednesday night, he looked like his old self. With other injuries to the Dodgers rotation, including Kerhsaw, Buehler was tabbed as a starter almost out of necessity. But L.A. won that series in five games, and the Dodgers tabbed Buehler as their starter for Game 3 of the NLCS. That's something for me that I don't think he ever had to do. You look at June or July, I don't think anybody could have seen him in this position right now, so that's a credit to Walker."
