There was a huge crowd at the Indiana Statehouse in opposition of redistricting. Let's see if the Senate listens to Hoosiers or to Washington.

Incredibly galling to hear Sauer talk about how the president is accountable to the public through elections, when the president he's referring to is one who attempted to illegally overturn an election he lost

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.
Opinion | Banning Abortion a Hallmark of Authoritarian Regimes
Seda Saluk writes about how U.S. policy on abortion rights has started to mirror patterns seen in authoritarian regimes around the world.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker says he's signing into law "an expansion of legal protections" in response to ICE operations in the state. "Together, we're sending a message to Donald Trump ... and anyone else seeking to terrorize our people."

New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.
This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

History will note how the Supreme Court chose to slide the power of government in the direction of the President at a time when the person occupying that office was least qualified to properly use that power, and most likely to use that power to end our form of government entirely.

In the hearing on the Slaughter case, Justice Sotomayor noted that “Neither King, not parliament, not prime ministers ever had an unqualified removal power” but that is what unitary executive would grant.
Bears repeating how novel and radical this theory is:

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."
