I’m just learning #mahjong. Is this the correct way to play?
BREAKING NEWS: Chris Taylor has just been elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court!
This is a MAJOR victory for freedom and democracy in Wisconsin.
Cue the theme from Veep:

This is not a fucking game of chicken.
Even if you don’t normally stop what you’re doing to watch video, you’ll want to see Professor Scheppele explain what we can learn about protecting our own upcoming elections by watching Orbán’s machinations ahead of the Sunday election there. Essential viewing!

Sherrilyn Ifill documents how the 14th Amendment has long been under attack, and how the current administration has taken aim yet again to prevent America from becoming an egalitarian, inclusive society. Powerful, moving & a call to action. It's a must read. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Your president.
This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.
Hey Georgia friends—if this is your election, get out there & vote!
Trump has a new executive order on voting out. You’ll want to know all the details: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is one of the most important stories of the week that you probably missed. The trump admin is basically taking something that belongs to all of us & giving it to political hacks & corporate donors. It’s an outrage & we should push back hard.
Normally, a runoff in a deep-red seat would quickly trigger a circle-the-wagons GOP consolidation behind the front-runner. But this runoff to fill Greene’s unexpired term is anything but normal. #gapol

Luke 23:46 On this solemn day, we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice our Savior made for all humanity. Trust in God’s plan.
The federal government is posting about “our Savior” and “God’s plan” in a country that was set up with no official religion and has been run that way for 250 years.
Extremists hate the idea that America belongs to all of us.

Saturday’s No Kings Day was a remarkable demonstration of civic courage. Eight million Americans took to the streets to stand up for our democracy.
But protests alone will not save our Republic.

In a rare move, Bruce Springsteen authorized the ACLU to use the iconic anthem ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ in support of our Supreme Court case challenging President Trump’s attempts to end birthright citizenship.
“Trump had promised to revive the economy and keep the U.S. out of foreign conflicts. Now he has started a war he had not gotten a mandate to wage, and the economic pain may only be beginning. Growth forecasts are being slashed, shortages are emerging”

Remember, this is the survivor whom Trump is accused of raping when she was 13 years old.
FBI records detail potential witnesses of SC Epstein victim. They aren't public.

During a war with the leading state sponsor of terror, Trump has now fired the head of the Department of Homeland Security, the Attorney General and now, the Chief of Staff of the Army. Talk about regime change. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
