Republicans never expected to spend $10M defending a Senate seat in Kansas. But now Roger Marshall is fighting for his political life. @lauren-egan.bsky.social went there to find out how it got this close, and whether Kansas could elect its first Democratic senator in 94 years.

I was admitted to the bar in 2005. So here's to 21 years of realizing that I chose the wrong profession.

#OnThisDay September 19, 1994, #TheSimpsons began airing in syndication. Local Fox stations aired repeats 5 days a week, sometimes up to 5 times a day, aiding in every Simpsons nerd's ability to commit entire classic episodes to memory for the rest of their lives.

Acting by himself (as Circuit Justice for the Eighth Circuit), Justice Kavanaugh has *denied* Missouri's (fairly ridiculous) emergency application asking #SCOTUS to put back into effect its 2026 gerrymander. The Missouri Supreme Court's ruling that reverted back to the 2022 map will stand.

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.
