When Carol Moseley Braun, the first Black woman elected to the Senate in '92, went to pick up her congressional ID, she was issued one labeled "spouse." She responded: "try again." Nice to see that absolutely nothing has changed
In the states where Harris set up a temporary but pervasive media apparatus, she negated some of the nationwide drag. That speaks to the reality that most of the country is awash in right-wing propaganda all the time. talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things-s…

NEWS: The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement in this year's presidential race, the editor of the editorial pages has told colleagues at a tense meeting this morning THREAD AND LINK: npr.org/2024/10/25/nx-…
In both cases, corroborating witnesses were silenced and excluded, leaving Ford and Hill alone to be smeared, threatened and discredited. talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things-s…
To get a sense of the tenor, Roberts' response to the argument that hobbyists - not just felons etc - would enjoy assembling the unregulated kits: “Drilling a hole or two, I would think, doesn’t give the same sort of reward that you get from working on your car on the weekends"
Even Supreme Court’s Right Wing Expresses Skepticism Towards Proposed Ghost Gun Free-For-All talkingpointsmemo.com/news/supreme-c…
Classic Jackson coming in with the "why are we doing this case in the first place when ATF already said ghost guns count under firearms regulations?" point. Assertively (and largely alone) still fighting an agency power battle that's increasingly lost at the Roberts Court
Notable in ghost guns case - Barrett seems to be interested in differentiating this case from cases like the bump stock one last term, when she + rest of the Supreme Court conservative majority ruled that bump stocks can't be regulated as machine guns (good sign for Biden admin)
When I was reporting on the Ohio abortion initiative in 2023, I heard regrets from some Dems/activists about the fact that it wouldn't be on the ballot with Sherrod Brown in 2024. Bernie Moreno fumbled that on Friday, bringing abortion roaring back into the campaign
Bernie Moreno was gifted a race without an abortion initiative on the ballot — a lucky break he fumbled Friday by dismissing women's interest in abortion rights in remarks caught on film. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/moreno-wa…
Since everyone is newly interested in reforming the filibuster to pass abortion rights, here's reporting I did in 2022 about where all the Democratic senators stood (in a beautiful package thanks to the TPM pub team) talkingpointsmemo.com/which-senate-d…
Lindsey Graham just now to Senate Dems on their opposition to the immunity decision - fresh off his trip to Nebraska to try to coax state Republicans to give Trump an extra electoral vote: "All you want is an outcome, you could care less about the law"
Jack Smith's team said it has new evidence to provide "outside the indictment," citing grand jury and interview transcripts specifically. That information could now become public in late September, pre-election talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chutkan-s…
Chutkan moved very fast after this morning's proceeding, and has a new schedule out — she will let Jack Smith go first with a brief to defend the superseding indictment under the SCOTUS presidential immunity regime (that filing due 9/26, DOJ hinted, may include new evidence)
My dispatch from the D.C. district courthouse where Judge Chutkan sifted through SCOTUS immunity fallout and battled Trump lawyer John Lauro's many complaints about "fundamental unfairness never before seen in district court" ⤵️ talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chutkan-t…
Chutkan calls Trump lawyer Lauro back up, warns that she "doesn't need any more rhetoric on how serious and grave" the case is. Lauro snaps back that "it’s not rhetoric, it’s called legal argument"
Big laugh moment - DOJ's Windom points out that team Trump proved able to move very quickly when it filed a 52-page motion to vacate the NY criminal case 9 days after the SCOTUS immunity ruling. Chutkan leans forward & says wryly: "congratulations, Mr. Blanche" to Trump's lawyer
Chutkan cuts off Lauro while he waxes poetic about the weightiness of this case in American history: "I'm not talking about the presidency of the United States, I’m talking about a 4-count indictment"
Underlying reality re Chutkan and Lauro's back and forth - team Trump wants to delay delay delay so he can win election and tell his DOJ to dismiss the case. Chutkan is resistant to this. "This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule," she says
Chutkan & Lauro sparring over government's wish to submit opening brief where it makes its revised immunity case re the superseding indictment. "Are you arguing that I don't have the -authority- to have a briefing schedule like this or that I just shouldn't do it?" Chutkan asks
Judge Chutkan hitches up an eyebrow at Trump lawyer John Lauro's argument for a very delayed pretrial schedule: "We can all walk and chew gum at the same time"
