Former Deputy AG Sally Yates kicked off her #DNC2020Convention speech by noting that “speaking at a political convention is something I never expected to be doing,” but she argued that the stakes of the election are too high not to politi.co/316DMTR
Yates, who served at DOJ under both GOP and Democratic presidents for nearly 30 years, stepped in as the acting chief for 10 days — before Trump fired her for “refusing to defend President Trump's shameful and unlawful Muslim travel ban,” she said politico.com/news/2020/08/1…
“From the moment President Trump took office, he's used his position to benefit himself rather than our country,” Yates said, accusing President Trump of attempting to “weaponize” the DOJ.

“Put simply, he treats our country like it's his family business" politico.com/news/2020/08/1…

The kids are not alright.

Record numbers of children are suffering from anxiety and depression. Experts and lawmakers are trying anything to address the spike — even if it’s unproven. politico.com/news/2024/04/1…
Since 2020, over 100 state laws have been passed to address rising depression, anxiety and suicide rates.

Seemingly no idea is off the table, from free online therapy to suing social media companies. Some states have even appointed boards to get a handle on the crisis. Image
Some experts are skeptical of the number of new initiatives to address the youth mental health crisis and the rush to embrace them.

They worry about wasting effort on unproven theories that won’t pan out or that could even make the problem worse. politico.com/news/2024/04/1…

In state after state, fast-growing, traditionally liberal college counties are generating higher turnout and even greater Democratic margins — and Republicans are freaking out. 👇🧵
https://t.co/bZME3xIhXIpoliti.co/3rEsEgR
College towns have already played a pivotal role in turning several red states blue – and they could play an equally decisive role in key swing states next year.

Take Wisconsin, whose pivotal Supreme Court race saw a record turnout. It was no surprise that Dane County — home to University of Wisconsin — went blue. But voter turnout there was higher than anywhere else in the state, as was the Dem margin of victory. politico.com/news/magazine/…

Meet our inaugural Mayors Club members and dive into what’s keeping them up at night👇

Liberals just flipped the ideological makeup of Wisconsin's Supreme Court.

Janet Protasiewicz’s high-stakes win means the new 4-3 liberal majority is much more likely to strike down a controversial 19th century abortion ban in the state. politi.co/3m5uIMm
Liberal judge Janet Protasiewicz defeated conservative Dan Kelly 56.9% to 43.1% when the AP called the Wisconsin Supreme Court race at 9:53 pm.

Live results: politico.com/2023-election/…
The Wisconsin Supreme Court race was the most expensive state judicial race in American history.

As of late last week, over $45 million has been spent on the contest. politico.com/news/2023/04/0…

Here's how things are looking in the Chicago mayor's race with 81% of the vote in.

Live results: politi.co/3Zb4Exq Image
The Chicago mayoral race is too close to call, with Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas separated by the narrowest of margins.

Both candidates pushed supporters to vote by mail and want to wait for outstanding ballots to be counted before claiming victory. politico.com/news/2023/04/0…
Brandon Johnson will be Chicago's next mayor.

The progressive union organizer was backed by the powerful Chicago Teachers Union and defeated moderate Paul Vallas in a runoff election centered on crime. politi.co/3KwaS6j Image

FYI: Each of Trump's 34 felony charges carries a potential prison sentence, but probation is most likely if he's convicted. politico.com/news/2023/04/0…
