The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious:

The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up.

Anderson Cooper’s exit from 60 Minutes is another sign that Bari Weiss is ruining CBS News in service to an authoritarian regime that wants no accountability journalism. What a disgrace.

President Trump keeps threatening to unilaterally impose rules (like voter ID requirements) on upcoming elections.

Today's "One First" explains why, whether as a matter of constitutional law, existing federal statutes, or simple, practical logistics, his (ominous) threats are ultimately empty ones:
210. The President's Lack of Power Over Elections
President Trump keeps insisting that he can unilaterally change the rules for voting in the midterms. It's not just that he's *wrong*; it's that there's no mechanism through which he could even *try.*

One thing about the Republican destruction of academia is their shallow vision of what should replace it. They don't want anything like academics, scholarship, or research to exist, they want it to be nothing more than right-wing pundits spouting off whatever lazy nonsense is needed that week.
Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.
