Those three deserve every brickbat but let’s not exempt all the other GOP senators who voted to confirm RFK Jr (the only no was McConnell, a polio survivor).

Never doing the right thing is no excuse for not doing the right thing.

Donald Trump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states.

If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.

@repsummerlee.bsky.social to MAGA voters: "This is the moment where he lied directly to you. He said that he would release these files... But when the rubber met the road, they would not do it. When they were afraid that there would be accountability for themselves, they want to hide it."

I was an intern for Birch Bayh for 1 semester in 1980 through Trinity College, Washington, DC. He authored the 25th (orderly transition of power)and 26th (lowered voting age to 18) Amendments. He authored Title IX (bans gender discrimination in federally funded institutions of learning). Great man.

Yes, rural Trump voters will now have to drive three states to get to a hospital but think of all the slurs they can say freely on that road trip now.

Where it starts is never where it starts. The news that DOJ is prioritizing denaturalizations, combined with very vague explanations of who they will prioritize, is deeply concerning. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Judge Hannah Dugan's trial -- for alleged obstruction of federal immigration agents -- is OFF the calendar

The federal court first wants to look through -- and possibly rule -- on Dugan's motion to dismiss the case

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points:

This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle.

It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov?

Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)
