Tom Cotton's campaign took Leon Black's money in 2022. By then, Black's own firm had already put his payments to Epstein at $158 million. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/a-billiona...

If you respond to my observations about Democrats’ chances in Texas by saying the GOP will pull off a state-wide sweep and “Texas is going to Texas,” I will block you. We are not a monolith; that remark dismisses the incredible work activists did and are doing to get us as close as we are.

Wrote about how Trump’s tantrums over the Supreme Court reveal the not so hidden subtext of what Republicans expect from the justices. Also a mention of how Supreme Court politics resemble the Calciopoli scandal. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
As is nearly always the case with the president’s accusations, this was an illuminating projection. Trump fears that public pressure on the Supreme Court can sway the justices and how they rule. So when they don’t side with him, he assumes that’s what happened, and he trashes the Court in the hope that it will side with him the next time. He views criticism of the Supreme Court much as he views laws in general: When Trump or one of his allies wants to do something, such as use taxpayer dollars for cultish campaign ads, it’s legal. When his opponents want to do something, it’s illegal

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s 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.
