Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

📌WARNING: As a former managing editor of Stars and Stripes, what Hegseth's Pentagon is pulling with the press is dangerous as hell, anti-American, and will HURT THE TROOPS. 📌Any news organization that advocates for THEM and reports on their quality-of-life issues will potentially be squashed. 🧵

The Supreme Court, in a furtive August ploy, revives a Louisiana case to eviscerate the Voting Rights Act, cynically deeming minority districts discriminatory against whites, unraveling multiracial democracy's fragile facade. #VotingRights

The Voting Rights Act, a key law that has long protected minority voters time and time again, celebrated its 60th birthday this week. But after SCOTUS took square aim at the legislation's constitutionality last week, this year might be its last.

Indiana plans to ramp up "enforcement" of the its ban - including a registry of abortion reports, fines for hospitals that don't turn over patient data, and "legal compliance monitoring" with the AG. That's A LOT of state resources for guess how many abortions? jessica.substack.com/p/heres-what...

Medicaid work requirements, which are included in the budget passed by the US House, are unlikely to boost employment. Research into work requirements for other programs show that they are more likely to strip benefits from vulnerable people stuck in bureaucracy

buff.ly

Work requirements are better at blocking benefits for low-income people than they are at helping those folks find jobs

When Arkansas tried to make Medicaid contingent on meeting work requirements, 18,000 low-income Arkansans lost their health insurance, but few of them got jobs.
