Trump does not believe in fair and free elections. He believes in one thing: authoritarianism.

SCOTUS now requires around the clock personal security details. Checks box. Yep. Will they ride around the countryside with Clarence and Ginny in their coach camper or follow behind in a Humvee?

Justices Gorsuch, Sotomayor, and Jackson concur in Hunter v. US to get pretty close to saying that plea bargaining is unconstitutional. Worth a read.
In our times, the jury trial has given way to a conveyor
belt of plea bargains. At least some responsibility for that
development lies with this Court. When confronted with
coercive prosecutorial tactics designed to induce defendants
to take plea deals, the Court has often condoned those prac-
tices or let them pass in silence.
Today, the Court begins to correct course. It rules that
prosecutors may not always leverage their plea-bargaining
power to induce a defendant to forego the right to contest
his sentence on appeal. I agree and write separately to out-
line how we got here and some of the work still ahead.

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock in them. Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word.

Byron Allen replaced Colbert and promptly shed 85% of the audience, cratering from 6.7M viewers to 628,000. Allen insists CBS "won big-time" on savings while spinning a $200M-to-zero production cost pivot. The numbers disagree with considerable force.
