I keep thinking about how the SCOTUS justices, who have proven they care a TON about their media coverage, issued the worst decision since Dredd Scott and then got to happily watch outlets spend the next week running 10,000 “Biden in Trouble” stories and like 5 “Hm, Immunity is Interesting” stories

Ouch.

New for MSNBC: I'm not optimistic that the CNN debate moderators will pressure Trump to commit to a coherent position on repro rights. The mainstream political press loves to let Trump off the hook even though we're five months from the election and he's still careening wildly between positions.

Opinion | CNN’s debate moderators shouldn’t miss the opportunity to ask Trump thiswww.msnbc.com The former president can’t go even one measly news cycle with a consistent message on reproductive rights.

There's a dangerous viral myth that a pregnant woman can't leave her husband in Missouri. I wrote up why it's wrong for the Missouri Independent: missouriindependent.com/2024/06/24/n...

No, Missouri law does not require a pregnant woman to stay with her husband • Missouri Independentmissouriindependent.com Alarmist stories about our state’s problematic-but-typical divorce law risk deterring Missouri women from getting needed legal help.

Son calls in to say his dad is missing. Same day, police mentally torture him into confessing to his dad’s murder—including by threatening to euthanize his dog. So much pressure that he attempts to die by suicide during a pause in the interrogation. The catch? THE DAD WAS STILL ALIVE!

To protect and to serve.... "'In my 40 years of suing the police I have never seen that level of deliberate cruelty,' says an attorney for Thomas Perez Jr."

Fontana pays nearly $900,000 for ‘psychological torture’ inflicted by police to get false confessionwww.pasadenastarnews.com Detectives grilled Thomas Perez Jr. for 17 hours, deprived him of medications and threatened to have his dog killed if he didn’t confess to killing his father, who was actually alive.

I wrote about the mess that is Missouri v. Murthy and our Missouri AG Andrew Bailey's broader efforts to suppress free speech.

Missouri Attorneys General are prolific censors posing as free speech champions • Missouri Independentmissouriindependent.com Missouri had an embarrassing trip to the U.S. Supreme Court last month, and things have gone downhill from there.
