If this federal law had just relied on State voter qualification rules, it could have made it a crime for non-citizens to vote Instead it purported to overrule State law on whether non-citizens can vote

Grabbed a sample ballot for the general election from nmvote.gov There are no difficult choices: those were all in the primary There's no longer a lever to vote straight Democrat (we use paper) but it would have been convenient here: all but one judge race is a Democrat running uncontested

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

One good thing to come out of today's Senate Judiciary Hearing: Eric Schmitt (R. Mo), by mistaking the (women's college) Iowa Hawkeyes for the (men's pro) Atlanta Hawks, can't run for President as long as that primary begins with the Iowa caucuses or perhaps as long as bball fans vote

When we purchase more goods and services from other countries than they purchase from us, that's called a "trade deficit" Trump calls that a "LOSS" bcz when *he* sells goods and services (Trump steak, Trump shoes, Trump presidency) he doesn't deliver the goods
