My latest: Justice Jackson's "bright side" depends on Republican election officials following federal law, and on the Supreme Court holding firm if election deniers try to purge voters. If the past is prologue, the signs are not hopeful. newsletters.democracydocket.com/justice-jack...

Justice Jackson found a bright side. I am not sure I see one.

More evidence that the president of the United States is psychotic. He’s been called out on this lie for many years. Once upon a time he knew he was bullshitting. But he has convinced himself of it now, as he has with all of the other fantasies with which he today soothes his fragile ego.

Over and over, 3M scientist Kris Hansen found PFOS, a chemical her company made, in people’s blood. Her bosses doubted her work: How could it be everywhere? Finally, she found one batch of blood samples without PFOS — but with it came a devastating revelation. Full episode: propub.li/4gVmPRQ

Cleta Mitchell says Supreme Court’s mail ballot ruling opens door to kill early voting: ‘Let's file some cases’
Mitchell’s attack on early voting offers a stark reminder of the right’s remarkable zeal to abolish almost any form of voting that expands access.

Remember how Clinton dissembled under oath when he said “it depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is”? Now we have a SCOTUS doing the same thing over the definition of ‘in’.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

5yr anniversary of “Plandemic” The only ‘plan’ was to get everyone infected. And that plan worked! Every propaganda tool in the GOP toolbox was used to make it happen. It was an evil conspiracy to convince ppl to rip off their masks and dive headlong into a vat of boiling virus, and get to work

CDC leadership just told staff on Monday that they could stop sending their "5 things I did last week" emails. Finally. Per source, people were mostly just sending the same things every week. Many folks added read receipts and were able to see that no one at DOGE was actually reading the emails.
