- It’s publication day for LAWLESS by @leahlitman.bsky.social! A book so good I just had to blurb it. Buy it here: bookshop.org/p/books/lawl...

- Three justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court who tried to steal this election for Griffin are up for election in 2028: Paul Newby, Phil Berger Jr., and Tamara P. Barringer. When Election Day comes around, I hope the state's voters remember what these lawless partisans tried to do here.
