I decided to look at all 66 prosecutor elections this fall. Why? Prosecutors have huge power over sentencing, charging, second chances, and even immigration implications. Here's everything you need to know, from East to West Coast. New from me:

The thing about Trump calling for the prosecution of Adam Schiff is that last night, the Republicans on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files in an apparent effort to prevent Americans from getting to the truth about what happened.

Newsom: Noem was condemning the Biden administration since there was a chance her National Guard might be federalized. She condemned it, and Hannity shook his head in disgust at the so-called incompetence of the Biden administration. That incompetence—and hypocrisy—is on full display right now.

It’s scary how huge of a failure this will be. You can’t spend the last 50+ years wanting shit to be cheaper and expect those manufacturers to just come back and spend more money to build said “shit”. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...

I continue to feel separated in every meaningful way from people who think this is okay. I’m not sure being their neighbor or their fellow citizen is an achievable or desirable goal.
