These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

It’s just plain stupid to encourage our most experienced controllers to quit, given the job’s rigorous training requirements and the shortage of controllers.
We should be trying to retain our most experienced controllers, not slandering them and pushing them to leave their careers early.

JUST IN: With air traffic control system that was straining before the shutdown, Trump urges any controllers who sicked out to quit, perhaps ahead of the upcoming holidays

This case specifically challenges a Mississippi law, allowing mail-in ballots to be counted as long as they are received within five business days after Election Day.
More than 30 states in the U.S. have similar laws.
