The Ohio GOP clearly organized a massive bribery scandal, but I'm sure the only electeds involved are a couple of state legislators. No way Jim Jordan or JD Vance would travel in such company

“Alabama’s parole board members are appointed by the governor. Led by former prosecutor Leigh Gwathney, the board has granted parole to just seven out of 106 people over age 60 this fiscal year—and none of the 21 people over age 70 have been granted parole.”

Last week the Alabama Parole Board denied 71-year-old Leola Harris parole, even though she is suffering from end stage renal disease. The board considered Ms. Harris's case for only 6 minutes before denying her parole. Her next hearing will be in 5 years. eji.org/news/alabama-p

When the news came out about Biden's classified documents, Washington went into a full lather about the political damage and how the WH had mishandled it. Two weeks later, we have some actual data on voter reaction. Guess what? It's no big deal.

New: We've identified more than a dozen top donors to Santos' 2020 campaign who do not seem to exist. I also spoke to a friend of Santos' who says he did not give the $2,800 donation attributed to him. motherjones.com/politics/2023/

Remember "election day" last November? In 2023 alone, there are *34* of them, for *272 different geographies* and hundreds of offices. Ferguson, Seattle, Chicago, and more have elections next month. This mess makes it hard for ordinary people to hold local govt accountable.
