Ken Paxton’s former top cop who was fired after exposing Paxton’s corruption: After Paxton fired me, they started trying to hire somebody to take my place. The determining question was: ‘Are you willing to be loyal to Ken Paxton?’

246. Making Sense of the Mail-in Ballots Ruling
The Supreme Court’s grant of a stay in one of the mail-in ballot cases is deeply wrong, but it’s also not the main event over whether Trump’s patently unlawful executive order can take effect.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

Trump just moved to gut Head Start, and Arizona families will feel it along with families across the country. For an administration that calls itself "pro-family," this is about as anti-family as it gets. We need to do everything in our power to fight back.

A Florida school board that was at the epicenter of national debates over COVID mask mandates and book bans just lost its conservative majority. 
Two Democratic-backed candidates beat out conservatives in the school board election in Sarasota — flipping the board's majority.

Democrats say the flip indicates voters want education to move on from political fights over social issues, while conservatives point to their wins.

A South Carolina law that lets anyone 65 years old and above vote by mail but requires younger people to provide an excuse to cast absentee ballots violates the Constitution’s prohibition on abridging voting rights based on age, the Fourth Circuit ruled. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Age restrictions on mail voting are unconstitutional, Fourth Circuit says in rare 26th Amendment case
A district court will decide the remedy: no-excuse mail voting for all ages, or for no ages.

A federal court in Nevada Friday became the 22nd consecutive district court to reject the Trump administration’s campaign to force states to turn over their unredacted voter rolls, dismissing the Department of Justice’s case and denying its motion to compel. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A national transmission grid was part of Al Gore's platform in 2000. It is now 2026; we haven't built much, and Trump is canceling what little we are planning to build. So many outrages every day. But energy is one of my things that I follow so this cuts deep.

Portrait of Andrea González-Ramírez
By Andrea González-Ramírez, a senior writer for The Cut who covers systems of power. Those physicals, Maria explains, are usually perfunctory: “Like, Are you walking normally? Are you lightheaded? I have never had to take any clothes off. I’ve never felt uncomfortable or violated.” If IL26-638 were to pass and Maria were still in school, she says she would likely drop out of her team. (We’re withholding Maria’s real name to protect her privacy.) “I honestly don’t know if I would be able to do these tests,” she adds. “It would also make me question, If I do it, are all my teammates going to too? Or would I just play with the three or four girls who are willing to or have access to do it?”
