NEW: Last year, the Trump DOJ dropped its oversight of troubled police departments in several cities, claiming the reform efforts were “factually unjustified.”
But officers continued to engage in the same abuses, per a new ACLU report.

#SCOTUS strikes down limits on party #spending in federal #elections
SCOTUS Tuesday erased limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination w/candidates for #Congress & #president, striking down a federal #ElectionLaw that’s >50 years old.
Prodded by a #Republican led lawsuit that includes VP #JDVance, SCOTUS’ conservative justices were again in the majority of the decision that upended congressionally enacted limits on raising & spending #money #influence #elections.
