    Great piece by discussing our recent report on Trump's interference with the Georgia election. She warns, "Unless politicians understand such actions are illegal and will be prosecuted, the temptation to do so will be overwhelming in 2022 and 2024."

    The Brookings report makes a strong case. “We conclude that Trump’s post-election conduct in Georgia leaves him at substantial risk of possible state charges predicated on multiple crimes,” the authors find.

    Finally, we warn that unbounded public carry rights will threaten core First Amendment protections—especially for women and racial minorities. In this Nation, we do not exalt private violence and vigilante justice over our shared commitment to democracy and the rule of law.
