The SCOTUS immunity decision drove deep despair and concern that Trump’s indictments and even the verdict against him are now in jeopardy. While the path is tougher, the way forward remains clear and viable. I explain in today’s piece, link in the replies.

Emergency medical care that includes abortion is legal again in Idaho, but only for now. In today’s piece, I explain the Court’s bizarre rush to grant review then equally unusual whoopsies in its decision today. Bottom line: Don’t trust them. Link in replies.

Trump has a problem. For years, he’s falsely portrayed Joe Biden as weak and addled. But now he has to face him on Thursday in a nationally televised debate. So what’s a habitual liar to do? Keep lying, it seems. I explain in today’s piece, link in the replies.

Joe Biden has been in debate prep, where Trump will never set foot. That allowed a weekend for the press to focus solely on Trump’s campaign speeches, which were again filled with hate, false claims, and of course complete gibberish. My write up in the replies.

Biden is having a great June, with world leader summits and another huge celebrity campaign fundraiser. So of course, the GOP and its right-wing media allies have come at him, this time with edited videos and fake stories. My write-up on their dirty tactics in the replies.

We’ve long since lost hope that Trump will ever STFU. But lately, his big mouth, which has already gotten him cited for contempt of court, is landing him in some hot water politically. I take a look at some recent and prime examples. My piece in the replies.

Do the polls have you worried? Do you need some bright news? Put aside the polls and take a look instead at yesterday’s special election in OH-6. For us election watchers, the numbers are rather stunning. My write-up in the replies.

According to the headlines, the far right is resurgent in Europe and centrists are on the run. Watch out Joe Biden! But that’s not nearly the whole picture. There is a through line to recent election results, just not one the media broadly paints. My piece in the replies.

Evidence emerging from the days after the 2020 Election and up to Jan. 6 have led to three more indictments, this time in Wisconsin. One defendant is Kenneth Chesebro, but this case could spread and even embroil Wisconsin’s senior senator, Ron Johnson. My write up in the replies.

It comes as no surprise that Trump might seek to tamper with witnesses. What’s surprising is how brazen the payoffs appear to be. I break down a bombshell ProPublica report in today’s piece, link in the replies.

One of the most common questions I get is whether I think there will be a hung jury in the Trump Manhattan trial. In today’s piece I explain that while it’s possible, it remains unlikely. And as a bonus, I tell a story about my own time on a jury.
