After Lincoln’s election in 1860, there were concerted efforts in Congress to find a way to preserve the Union through some form of compromise. Re-reading them today is a 😬exercise.

With ranked choice tabulations complete, NBC officially declares Mary Peltola (D) the winner of Alaska’s special election for the House. She defeats Sarah Palin (R) and Nick Begich (R).
(Deleted earlier version that put a D after Begich’s name - force of habit, sorry!)

The latest poll shows persuadable 2022 voters breaking for … Democrats. Unusual for the party in power in a midterm election year.
In March and May, this group was R+6.
In August, this group was D+3.

Interesting - in MI, among the voters who registered this year prior to Dobbs, 22% were under age 25. Since Dobbs, that share has gone up to 29%. More incredible, the share of women among those young registrants went up by 10 pts after Dobbs. Young women are extremely motivated.

“The court’s conservative majority admitted that the Jim Crow law was ‘steeped in racism,’ but said the State had made enough changes in the 132 years since to override its white supremacist taint.”
Quote Tweet
NEW: The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals just upheld Mississippi's 1890 Jim Crow law. White supremacist lawmakers said they designed it to "eliminate the n**ger from politics."
It continues to disproportionately disenfranchise Black Mississippians for life.
