Ossoff: "I absolutely believe that Mike Collins would have been among those standing in the schoolhouse door ... Here in Georgia, where we are so proud of our legacy as the cradle of civil rights, I'll be damned if I'm gonna let a man like Collins win this race and represent GA for the next 6 years"

Imposing 18-year term limits for justices would improve the Supreme Court by ensuring no single person has generational power, by giving each president two appointments per four-year term, and by lowering the stakes of the confirmation process. bit.ly/47DWAuZ

If Trump’s approach to self-soothing involves lying about crowd sizes, so be it. But when he declares publicly that journalists “should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country,” I find it tough to shrug and look away. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump says some journalists ‘should be arrested,’ escalating attack on free press
If the president wants to lie about crowd sizes, that’s pitiful. But when he talks about arresting reporters without cause, don’t look away.
