Holder decision. Without its guardrails, state officials have enacted at least 94 restrictive voting laws many in states with a history of racial voting discrimination Subsequent Supreme Court decisions have further weakened the VRA making it more difficult to challenge voter discrimination in court Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would restore and modernize the protections of the VRA It would establish a modern-day framework to determine which states and localities have a recent history of voter discrimination and require those jurisdictions to pre-clear new voting laws with the Department of Justice Bill text is available here Permalink: https://sewell.house.gov/2025/3/rep-sewell-introduces-the-john-r-lewis-voting-rights-advancement-act-ahead-of-the-60th-anniversary-of-bloody-sunday Media Nation I hope we learn more soon about why Columbia Journalism Review executive editor Sewell Chan was abruptly fired on Friday he has been portrayed as the boss from hell while Chan himself has claimed he was the victim of a toxic workplace culture I’ve never heard anyone say a bad word about either Chan or Columbia Journalism School dean Jelani Cobb and social-media posts suggesting that Chan was done in by the mishegas into which Columbia has descended can’t be right I’m sharing this New York Times story because it does a good job of laying out what we know There was no indication in Chan’s email that there was anything amiss at the CJR Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email Please support this free source of news and commentary by becoming a supporter of Media Nation.

non-citizens voting in federal elections—would create burdensome new barriers to voting for the 69 million married women who have changed their last names the 146 million Americans without passports and Americans with military and tribal IDs Watch it on YouTube here I rise to join my CBC colleagues in getting into some Good Trouble as we voice our very strong opposition to the Republicans’ voter suppression bill As a daughter of Selma and the Representative of Alabama's Civil Rights District the fight for voting rights is very personal to me where John Lewis and hundreds of Foot Soldiers were bludgeoned on the Edmund Pettus Bridge for the right The legislation before us makes a mockery of that legacy President Donald Trump and his Republican allies have pushed the Big Lie of a stolen election They have tried to convince the American people of the lie that non-citizens are a threat to our elections and now they're using that lie as an excuse to pass a new law that would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast their ballots It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections non-citizens would face up to five years in prison for attempting to vote in federal elections and even risk being deported this legislation would purge thousands of eligible voters from the rolls It would create significant barriers for the 69 million women who currently got married and changed their last names so their birth certificates do not match their marriage certificates and thus it would be harder for these women and the 140 million Americans that do not have a passport and those with military IDs and tribal IDs none of which would be able to prove their birth citizenship These are not included in the bill as proper forms of ID that will allow someone to show their citizenship Americans should see this bill for what it is—a cynical attempt to flame the fire of false voter fraud by the same extremists who brought us the January 6th insurrection Their objective of suppressing the vote was made even more clear last week when President Trump signed an executive order to erode voting rights and gave Elon Musk an unelected person the right to access Americans’ personal voter information.  we as elected officials in this House should be fighting to protect and expand access to the ballot box we in the Congressional Black Caucus have remained committed committed to ensuring and defending the sacred right to vote We in the Congressional Black Caucus see voting rights as our North Star we will not stop fighting as long as President Trump and Elon Musk and House Republicans are trying to take away our sacred right to vote.  I urge all my colleagues to not only vote NO on the SAVE Act It was John Lewis who said that ours is not the struggle of one day and as long as the Congressional Black Caucus 63 members strong in this Congress we will stand up and protect the rights of every American to vote and we will stop efforts like the SAVE act The SAVE act is not there to save election integrity The SAVE act is all about saving Republican seats and Republican elected officials.  We will be voting NO on that bill when it comes to the Floor and we urge our other colleagues to do the same And I want to commend the Gentlewoman from Virginia for leading this special order.  It's now time for us to get off their shoulders and to do our own work and our own work we will do in defeating the SAVE Act and for standing up for the legacy of John Lewis and those Foot Soldiers who marched on a bridge in my hometown for the equal right of every American to vote The CBC will be standing up for voting rights Permalink: https://sewell.house.gov/2025/4/rep-sewell-speaks-out-against-republicans-voter-suppression-bill affectionately known as

designate December 1st as a federal holiday commemorating the historic arrest of Rosa Parks in Montgomery February 4th marked Rosa Parks’ 112th birthday Watch it on YouTube here I proudly represent Alabama's 7th Congressional District which includes the historic cities of Birmingham I want to thank my colleagues for joining me today We are here to pay tribute to a civil rights icon and an American heroine from my home state of Alabama as she celebrates what would have been her 112th birthday Rosa Parks’ legacy is one of remarkable bravery and fortitude By simply refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus she stood up for the values that this nation holds dear distinguished courage set the stage for the historic Montgomery Bus Boycott and galvanized a movement that changed the very fabric of this nation That’s why I am so excited to have re-introduced legislation in the House to designate December 1st as a federal holiday commemorating her historic arrest in Montgomery Rosa Parks Day will serve as a powerful reminder of the fight for justice that took place in Montgomery it will become the first federal holiday to honor a woman This bill is especially important given the attacks by the Trump Administration on our history we know that efforts are afoot to erase our history and roll back the progress that so many of our ancestors fought and died for Purges of federal employees who work to make our government more inclusive Agency websites wiped of information promoting equity and fairness the Trump Administration even banned the Defense Intelligence Agency from observing Black History Month and Martin Luther King Day we learned that the history of the Tuskegee Airmen from my home state of Alabama had been removed from the Air Force training curriculum before being restored after public backlash Americans should see these attacks for what they really are—an attempt to whitewash our history and devalue the contributions of African Americans Their attack is an attack on all of us and the values that make this nation great for us to tell our story and to recognize the contributions of amazing leaders like Rosa Parks Her legacy is a part of American history and should be celebrated as the important part of American history By honoring her with a new federal holiday we can ensure that what happened in Montgomery and Selma and Birmingham is never ever erased or forgotten no matter how hard some extremists may try Rosa Parks Day will serve as a reminder of the power of ordinary Americans to achieve extraordinary social change Americans—young and old—can draw inspiration from her legacy in the continued struggle for equality and justice I get to stand here as Alabama’s first Black Congresswoman because amazing freedom fighters like Rosa Parks were unafraid to challenge the status quo and to make this nation live up to its highest ideals of equality and justice for all As women of the Congressional Black Caucus and I can think of no one more befitting to honor with a new federal holiday I want to thank my colleagues for their support We look forward to harnessing this momentum to get it across the finish line and it is our hope that we can do so in a bipartisan way I will now yield to my friend and colleague from Ohio the former Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and the leader in the state of Ohio when she was majority leader in the state legislature to make Rosa Parks Day a state holiday in the state of Ohio Permalink: https://sewell.house.gov/2025/2/rep-sewell-holds-press-conference-on-the-rosa-parks-day-act View

retiring from The Associated Press three and a half years ago I soon realized that leaving the fast-paced global news organization and journalism was like an addict trying to quit cold turkey I soon was dabbling with some op-ed offerings to The Enquirer and when political columnist Jason Williams jumped over to sports the next year to succeed retiring columnist Paul Daugherty Executive Editor Beryl Love asked if I’d like to contribute a regular Opinion column The AP prides itself on delivering news that’s not only fast and accurate so expressing opinions in a column was a challenging change but supporting them compellingly and persuasively isn’t simple I’ve had a good coach in Opinion Editor Kevin Aldridge a veteran opinion writer who’s also a long-time pal and someone I supervised during a stint as The Enquirer’s suburban editor a couple decades ago Career advice: always try to treat the young up-and-coming employees well because you might wind up working for them someday (this was the second time that happened to me) the thinking for oneself,” said no less an eminent columnist than the late Harper’s magazine editor Lewis H and an opinion I always found hard to come by.” as the late Red Smith of The New York Times replied when asked if writing columns was hard: “Why Suffice it to say I’ve developed a new appreciation for George Will who recently marked his 50th anniversary of writing one of the nation’s most-read columns The column as practiced here has been free-ranging covering such hot topics as raising awareness of sexual assault on college campuses the rifts in a local school district over diversity and Critical Race Theory enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution and the appearance of a Confederate flag flapping along a busy roadway in suburban Harrison Some focused on personalities in the news: Butler County’s outspoken Sheriff Richard Jones’ long-standing call for action against illegal immigration; Mayor Aftab Pureval’s ambitious vision for Cincinnati’s future; Southern Ohio newspaper editor-publisher Gary Abernathy’s role as a national “Voice from Trump Country;” Kentucky Gov Andy Beshear’s use of his former governor father for advice; and Jewish U.S Greg Landsman’s reaction to gory videos of the Hamas militants’ surprise attack on Israel I got to know fellow Middletown native J.D by the way) through interviews producing columns that tracked his rise from U.S Senate candidate in a crowded GOP field to winning the nomination then his first months in office and finally his ascension to become Donald Trump’s vice president-to-be That’s a lot of material in a short period but there’s nothing like a near-death experience to change your perspective First warning sign came at an August Reds game I was in a hurry for the TJ Friedl bobblehead giveaway Simply going up steps left me badly out of breath Things started unfolding quickly after that and within a couple weeks I was being rushed into an operating room at Christ Hospital to replace a failing aortic valve My surgeon said afterward: “We got you just in time.” A nurse commented: “He gave you a very nice cut.” Yes I have a very straight scar down the middle of my chest as a daily reminder of the fragility of life That probably would have been a logical time to re-retire but a politics columnist needs to stay on the job when one of the most consequential elections in our lifetimes is heading into the stretch run It was a full Election Day with morning interviews of voters at the polls following the vote counts through the evening and filing a column to Kevin in the wee hours after Republican Bernie Moreno had ridden Trump’s coattails to unseat Democratic Sen Sherrod Brown (who I first interviewed nearly 50 years ago when I was a reporter for The Post of Ohio University and Brown was the youngest state legislator) After three months of cardiac rehabilitation exercise classes and weekly finger pricks for blood checks But I had already decided that November would be my last working election night Frank Baum wrote in “The Marvelous Land of Oz,” “Everything has to come to an end the book was not about Trump’s pick to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services).” It’s time to focus more on health and family in a life without regular deadlines A recent survey from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research indicated that about two-thirds of American adults have felt the need to cut back on media consumption about politics and government because of overload leading up to the last election such as when you see headlines about Trump wanting to acquire Greenland While adding Canada would dramatically improve our hockey and comedy resources And then there was the holiday period brouhaha when Trump’s new Hand of the King pledged in defending H-1B foreign worker hiring in specialty occupations “to go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.” Steve Bannon warned Musk not to “start lecturing people about the way things are going to be Musk’s co-leader of the made-up Department of Government Efficiency joined in by commenting that a problem in America is that people who aren’t foreign-born or first-generation like him celebrate “the prom queen over the math olympiad champ The sources he cited included the TV series “Boy Meets World,” and “Saved by the Bell.” I’m more familiar with Bette Davis than Zack and Cory or other ‘90s teen sitcom characters so to paraphrase her: “Fasten your seat belts With plenty of material for political columnists Beryl has encouraged me to contribute a guest column from time to time and that journalism craving could kick in again at some point and know that I always appreciated hearing constructive
