California judge's opinion here was both a rebuke and a warning for democracy:
"It should not have come to this...The judiciary serves as an essential backstop, but the rule of law depends in the first instance on the conscientious discharge of that duty by all officials."

First episode of The Speaker dropped today. The 1987 campaign. Backdrop: AIDS epidemic. Dismissed as a “dilettante,” Pelosi defeats 13 other candidates, including openly gay Supervisor Harry Britt. “How can she relate?”

Reminder about this upcoming event on a fast-moving story. Just this week, SCOTUS rejected Trump's attempt to let the USPS decide who can cast ballots by mail, but more disruptions are expected. I'll be in conversation with the brilliant @beckerdavidj -- link below
