This again shows that national Democrats could learn a lot by studying NC the only southern state on here. It's on here despite ruthless Republican gerrymandering because they can't gerrymander state-wide elections like the governor.
15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more.
Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

Congratulations to Sabrina Shroff on obtaining a “not guilty” for client: Sean “Sandwich Guy” Dunn on misdemeanor charges of assaulting a federal officer with a Subway sandwich.
I had the pleasure to work alongside Ms. Shroff in a high-profile federal case in SDNY. She is a fierce advocate.
