Even after Virginia, Ds face a redistricting and structural nightmare in the fight for Congress, the White House and the courts. They might have one chance to fix it, and must think big. New in @thenation.com with the great @davidfaris.bsky.social
NYT pulls "both sides" in warning about Trump & midterms, with a strawman. It's not that voter ID causes large decline. It's that modern ID laws are surgically targeted to put barrier between specific voters & ballot box, in close states, demanding forms of ID they know they're least likely to have
The paperback cover! With very kind words from @hcrichardson.bsky.social and Jane Mayer and Jamie Raskin. In stores on September 29, but you can pre-order today 😉
