If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Russia kills their leaders, steals their land, abducts their children, erases their history and culture, and forces them all to be loyal to their oppressor.

Good news, full stop. ALSO, be aware of ongoing Republican voter suppression efforts in Texas. Tarrant County, the largest swing county, just eliminated more than 90 polling locations. How people say they will vote is irrelevant if they cannot vote freely and fairly.

Congress just handed Trump the power to sanction Russia. It did not require him to use it. Democrats warned the bill "fails to mandate sanctions on Russia." He has already eased Russian oil sanctions twice this year to manage prices. Discretion, in this administration, means Putin walks free.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

This is just hateful.
That decision made Brooks eligible for up to $480,000 under a program created by Louisiana lawmakers to pay those wrongfully convicted in a state with one of the highest rates of overturned guilty verdicts. But Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, the top prosecutor in the state, has vigorously fought Brooks’ compensation claim, asserting in court filings that he is still guilty and therefore should not receive any money at all.

And it isn’t just Brooks: Since taking office two years ago, Murrill has opposed all but one of 23 compensation claims brought by people whose convictions have been vacated by the courts. These include cases in which the men were exonerated through DNA or blood evidence and others in which police are accused of fabricating evidence. Once, Murrill even threatened to block an exoneree’s ability to obtain a license to practice law if he didn’t drop his claim.
