Why can’t we find a happy medium between playing dead (@theDemocrats) and insurrection (@GOP)? This is from a piece I am writing about the 2020 election. 1/
Cartoon 2 by @EdWexler. 2/
4/ Florida House 26
5/ Florida House 27
6/ North Carolina senate
7/ Montana senate
8/ Maine senate.
9/ Note. Here is a summary of KY & SC senate races: Although heavily red shifted, exit polls predicted strong GOP victories. If internal polling also predicted this, it explains why the Ds didn’t challenge these two outcomes.
11/ From my preelection piece: nybooks.com/daily/2020/10/…
12/ 2016 exit polls by @JonathanSimon14
13/ To clarify, I’m not saying “both sides” do the same thing; I’m saying they do the opposite thing. Nor am I saying they are equally bad. The #GOP engages in domestic terrorism; my party, the Democratic Party, at least aspires to the greater good. I want them to do more…
… to protect the greater good. IMO, this requires more scrutiny of the GOP than they currently provide. 14/
Democrats should heed this advice. 15/
The GOP should heed this advice. 16/

Remember when Trump:
* Posted a photo of himself wielding a baseball bat next to a photo of Alvin Bragg?
* Mocked MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi for getting hit with a rubber bullet?
* Praised Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter?
* Joked about the assault on Paul Pelosi?

👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/ Image

While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/ Image
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
3/ Backup. Image
