Fascinating discussion about some stinky shit going on in U.S. elections….it’s all about the data, vote banking, and counties that don’t exist. So enraging, but at least we can advocate for it not happening again. open.substack.com/pub/narativ/...

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

They're not even trying to appear nonpartisan anymore.
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

Narcan saves lives. But what if there was a way to prevent fentanyl overdose deaths that didn't require a bystander being present?

One biotech startup thinks it has a solution — a fentanyl vaccine that would provide year-long protection.

Imagine if Senate and House Dems made a criminal referral to DOJ over Kushner’s corrupt involvement in these negotiations.
1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.
