Not in Kansas — as we know it — anymore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The home of Dwight Eisenhower and Amelia Earhart is rarely part of the national conversation — but that could be about to change. It is becoming clear that the race for Senate this year could be a huge upset. In the 19th century, Kansas was the scene of violent clashes over slavery, which temporarily earned it the moniker “bleeding Kansas,” and in the 20th it was the birthplace of Brown v. Board of Education, one of the most consequential Supreme Court cases in American history. But in recent de
Trump, his lackeys will try to steal 2026 elections (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Supreme Court gave us a start this week, with what looked, at first glance, like a win for Donald Trump’s efforts to suppress mail-in ballots. But, as Andrew Egger explained, that isn’t quite what happened. In broad outline, the Court stayed a lower court injunction while the legality of Trump’s attempted interference will be decided later.

Read excerpt
Todd Blanche was Donald Trump’s personal attorney, so it was natural that when he was elevated to attorney general, a journalist asked whether he would “pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House.” The correct answer to such a question is obvious: The Justice Department and I are committed to the impartial administration of justice. We will always make prosecution decisions based solely upon the facts and the law after a fair evaluation of the evidence. B

Read excerpt
It was already one of the most clownish (if sinister) moments in the Trump administration — the Department of Justice actually brought criminal charges against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn for sabotaging the president’s big, beautiful reflecting pool. It then dropped them for legal reasons that amounted to: “We screwed up.” But now we learn that Donald Trump can’t let it go. The Wall Street Journal reports that the White House is pressuring the DOJ to revisit the case. Wonder if Todd Blan
Trump isn't funny — just mean (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a display of Stockholm Syndrome, the White House Correspondents’ Association invited Donald Trump to be the keynote speaker at their annual festival of self-appreciation. Because he is who he is, he did not take the opportunity to do the kind of gentle press ribbing that past presidents have engaged in, and he certainly declined to engage in the self-deprecating humor that charmed audiences in the old days. Instead, he delivered a string of puerile insults that would be beneath a fifth grader
