“Freedom’s Dominion,” by Jefferson Cowie, is essential reading for anyone who hopes to understand the unholy union, more than 200 years strong, between racism and the rabid loathing of government. nyti.ms/3VWIZHJ

The former President just called for the Constitution to be suspended. And it's not even news. "That's just Trump," I guess. But that's the point. It is Trump.

Alabama’s demonstrated incompetence w lethal injection & sheer disregard for inmates was the main reason the 11th circuit granted the stay. SCOTUS lifted it without any explanation. Excerpts from Smith’s brief:

Remember when Obamacare was in trouble, looking like it wouldn't pass? Lots of Dems wanted to give up, take a partial deal? #NancyPelosi said you have to keep fighting ALL THE TIME for what you believe in. And it passed, and millions of people now have health care.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Yeats bit.ly/2YTThKY

If Dems hold the Senate (seems likely), it means confirmation of dozens more federal judges. Biden's record of appointing the highly qualified, young, and diverse (in every sense) is one of his most impt legacies. And it's growing.

Donald #Trump is Joe McCarthy, who was once the most popular politician in the US. Later, no one admitted to supporting him. Before too long, it will be the same with Trump.

The John Durham investigation is a disgrace and a fiasco. Two acquittals at trial in a system where the feds win 95% of their cases. Trump and Barr said Durham would prove the Russia investigation unjustified. He's proven the opposite.
