Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

This is so corrupt. Trump is building an army of mercenaries. He freed them from their crimes, committed for him, and now he's paying them for it. All of which lets them know they can do worse next time. And his personal criminal defense attorney is going to decide in secret who gets what.

Note: Virginia supreme court justices are "re-elected" by state lawmakers, meaning the legislature chooses whether to reappoint them or replace them. Two of the four justices in the majority today against the new congressional map will be "up" by early 2028.

In response to redistricting rulings that have gone against them over the last 18 months, Utah Republicans have (1) passed a law to pack the court and are about to name two new justices, and (2) have launched a major push to oust two justices in their retention races this fall.

This is partisanship at its rawest. SCOTUS has clamped down on lower courts for rulings that could alter maps many *months* before an election—even when those maps have been judged illegal. Here, it's rushing to let the Louisiana GOP change a map *while an election is underway.*

One urgent takeaway from all this is that state legislative races just got even more important. They will help decide whether Dems can prevent the GOP from locking in a near-permanent majority. And gov races in places like Georgia are now hugely consequential. newrepublic.com/article/2098...

I'm on parental leave this week and next, so of course Callais came down today. Just a few top-line thoughts: 1. Don't believe Alito's claim that the majority is merely tinkering with precedent. In effect, this decision pretty much eliminates what remained of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

My quick read of Callais decision is that the majority says if a racial community votes consistently with a party, then it is okay to deny them representation because that's just partisan gerrymandering
