Mark and Brock discuss a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court kneecapped the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for sixty years.
Writing for the majority in Callais v. Louisiana, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the court was not striking down Section 2 of the VRA, but rather “properly” interpreting it as “impos[ing] liability only when circumstances give rise to a strong inference that intentional discrimination occurred.
Justice Elena Kagan, in dissent, accused the majority of making changes that “eviscerate the law.” Also in our quick hits section we discuss the King Charles visit and the economic shutdown, freeze out--DONT BUY ANYTHING....

Mark and Brock discuss....King Charles III is embracing some of Washington’s most formal ceremonial trappings as he tries to emphasize a bond between the United Kingdom and the United States that is so strong it can withstand the political turmoil of the moment.
The visit comes at a challenging moment for U.S.-UK relations. Trump’s up-and-down relationship with Prime Minister Keir Starmer has taken a particularly sour turn over the past several months as the president has sought to rally international support for the war in Iran.
The king, accompanied by Queen Camilla, began his day by meeting President Donald Trump at the White House. In the afternoon, the king addressed the U.S. Congress, making him the first British monarch to do so since Queen Elizabeth II in 1991. The day will end with a buzzy dinner at the White House. AND MJ WOWS THE CROWD ON THE BIG SCREEN....97 MILLION CASH AT THE BOX OFFICE...YEA YEA...

MARK AND BROCK DISCUSS THE DEBACLE at the correspondents' dinner... President Donald Trump and officials in his administration were the likely targets of a suspect who fired on a security agent guarding the White House Correspondents' Association ​dinner in Washington, U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Sunday.
The man fired a shotgun at a Secret Service agent at a checkpoint in the Washington Hilton hotel before being tackled and arrested. Nothing about the assailant's attempt makes sense so conspiracy theories run rampant. Mark thinks it could be staged. Brock does not think MAGA is competent enough to pull off a ruse.

Trump ‌and first lady Melania Trump were rushed out of the dinner. Kash Patel and RFK Jr. clowned themselves with cowardly behavior. MAGA scavengers hoarded liquor bottles on the way out the door.

Mark and Brock discuss....President Trump announced on Saturday that he canceled U.S. officials’ planned travel to Pakistan for another round of negotiations with Iran.
Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were set to travel to Islamabad on Saturday to take part in these talks, but the president said in a Truth Social post on Saturday afternoon that he called off the trip. Iranian officials had declined to meet directly.
MAGA loyalists are also going off about trump possibly giving Maxwell a pardon, as victims try to get and audience with King Charles who is set to visit the US in the next week.
we also tackle the NFL's phony acceptance of its players of color at the NFL draft--

Brock and Mark discuss Trump's accelerating dementia and psychopathy as he rants at Chinese and Indian-Americans overnight and falls asleep in the Oval Office by day. But for an Administration hell bent on stripping back DEI in the name of opportunities for the best and the brightest, the ironic nepotism of having unqualified Jared Kushner and Stev Witkoff supposedly representing American interest would be comical if not so Corrupt. The conversation wraps up with a call to decency and courage by the press corps in an appeal to boycott the White House Correspondents dinner. Cocktailing with White Supremacy did not play well in 1936 Germany and won't look any better to future Americans. There is a time to stand on one's convictions.

SPIRIT needs a bailout and Mark and Brock discuss the blatant corruption of Donald Trumps regime and his family...his policies are creating chos...Meta
plans to lay off 10% of its workforce, about 8,000 employees, as it continues ramping up investments in artificial intelligence.
The cuts will begin May 20, and the company is scrapping plans to hire people for 6,000 open roles, according to a Thursday memo to employees. Bloomberg was first to report on the layoffs.

Meta’s latest round of cuts follows several smaller job reductions that the company said was necessary to to improve efficiency while focusing its efforts on generative AI, where it’s lagged OpenAI, Google
and Anthropic.

Trumps ridiculous war is the topic for Mark and Brock's discussion. The war is costing every segment of the population except the Epstein Class. Gas is through the roof, the military budget is insane at more than a billion a day and the US Navy was just chased out of the Strait of Hormuz. In better news VA Redistricting vote falls the Democrats way by a razor thin margin. The pair also laments the rising jet fuel prices wreaking havoc on the global airline industry with Lufthansa cutting 20,000 flights. An explosion in West Virginia triggers a frustration with the absurdly effective "less regulations" messaging of the Republican Party to the actual working class which is killed by the lack of protections.

Where are America’s political leaders today? Brock and mark discussed the void of leadership in American politics right now. We wonder are they just cashing it in and picking up a check what seems to be the last time we saw fearless political leadership. Join us for this robust discussion.
We also discussed the age Olde, problem of gerrymandering and we look forward to the closing of the polls at the Virginia elections this election Tuesday evening.
