That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

NEW: Republicans went ballistic when New Jersey admitted to an error that allowed fewer than 400 noncitizens to vote since 2023. But when 72,000 mail ballots were rejected across six states in the 2026 primaries over technical issues, the GOP remained silent. Democracy Docket breaks down the data👇

A few noncitizen votes are a scandal. But thousands of rejected ballots are business as usual

One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.
