Mike has written a terrific book about what happened in state legislatures after the imposition of Jim Crow. Data are amazing, analysis is nuanced, and the lessons are important. Check it out!

The "skippers" who sat out 2024 backed Trump by 4 points. Today they favor Democrats by 31, and Trump is underwater with them by 50. As go the non-voters, so goes the nation.

No public events for Trump today. That makes it a week now since he's been seen in public. Why?

Now that Todd Blanche has confirmed Trump will still enjoy immunity from IRS audits, Dems must find every way they can to force Rs to vote on this. Rep Jamie Raskin tells me Dems will push the issue in coming days. Let's turn this into a political fiasco for GOP: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

Three important stories this week: The memo laying out the Christian nationalist takeover of the Texas Tech University System. The voters who could make or break Democrats' efforts to win back Congress. And why anyone with a 401(k) or pension should be concerned about Musk's impending SpaceX IPO.

The Trump WH wants guns available through the mail but not abortion medication.

Screenshot of a tweet from Headquarters reporting that the Trump administration has proposed a new rule allowing handguns to be mailed through the US Postal Service, which would reverse a ban on mailing guns that has been in place since 1927. Includes a split image of stacked boxes with hazardous material warning labels alongside a photo of a Glock handgun.

Today's ruling in Virginia aside, remember that Trump’s approval is underwater - in everything from economy, to national security. Republicans are facing huge losses in November, it's why they are trying so hard to steal the midterms from not just Dems, but anyone who opposes Trump.

I've never heard earned wealth phrased this way, but she's right about it.

Screenshot of a tweet from Marco Foster quoting Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez arguing that billionaire-level wealth cannot be legitimately earned, and is instead accumulated through market power, breaking rules, abusing labor laws, and underpaying workers. Includes a video thumbnail of AOC speaking animatedly at a table during what appears to be a podcast or interview.
