I wrote a thing about why Virginia’s next Governor should join a new group of governors working to protect public health despite the chaos from HHS and the White House.

As someone who unseated a 26-year, 13-term Republican legislator who voted against Medicaid expansion, I can say the hubris of telling your constituents "we're all going to die" when they're concerned about you denying them health insurance and then doubling down by mocking them may just backfire.🧵

strange to watch conservatives make voting harder right as they become the party of low propensity voters
A big conservative win, in what we at bolts said was one of the 8 big voting rights cases to be decided in 2025. More on that here: boltsmag.org/voting-right...
By a 10-5 vote, the en banc 5th Circuit will NOT rehear a decision invalidating state laws that consider ballots valid if they were *mailed* by Election Day but arrive shortly thereafter. (28 states + DC have such laws.) The dissenters are deeply displeased. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
