I had no idea the new James Garfield Neflix series was based off "Destiny of the Republic" by Candice Millard.
I interviewed Millard (who lives in suburban Kansas City) in 2012. It is one of the best books about a president I have ever read.
Garfield would have been a top 10 prez if he lived:

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling?
Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it:

This is really interesting. In Missouri, legislators were never going to be able to get enough votes for the map to go into effect right away (thus, subjecting the map to a referendum). So House members could pretty much vote how they wanted with no pressure or repercussions.
Interesting details on failed GOP push for a gerrymander special session in Kansas. State House Republicans were 6 votes shy of supermajority needed to call session, with 10 Republicans overall — including several committee chairs — refusing to back a session. They've now lost their gavels.

Given that People Not Politicians need around 106K signatures spread across six out of eight congressional districts, only GOP legal action will block referendum at this point.

Should give Missouri Republicans who have attached a gender affirming ban for most transgender minors to a ballot item repealing most of Missouri’s 2024 abortion rights amendment (which passed thanks to roughly 300K Trump voters backing it).
One major takeaway: Winsome Earle-Sears tried relentlessly to attack Abigail Spanberger with the same transphobic messaging Trump used against Kamala Harris.... and people just didn't care. It shows anti-trans messaging isn't an inflection point.

Man, if Missouri Dems get the signatures to put the MO map up for a November 2026 vote (and, therefore, preventing Rs from picking up #MO5 at least until 2028), Cleaver and Davids should start the "Outflanked Republicans on Redistricting Caucus:"

Worth noting that in 2021, then-71-year-old Roy Blunt told me that he wasn't 100% committed to spending most of his 70s serving in the Senate.
And in 2009, Kit Bond said he came MO politics as the youngest governor, and didn't want to leave as oldest senator.

The most puzzling conservative/right-wing trend in the last few years is their fervent belief that ADHD isn't real. (That's clearly what the "Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants" is referencing).
