Republicans are only winning the NE-01 special election by 4%, despite the district being R+17.
Democrats and moderates are sending the GOP a message — they're angry, and ready to vote.

Hiya! My question is: Would charging witness intimidation/obstruction of justice NOW and adding superseding indictments later jeopardize the larger investigation? Is it better to indict for all crimes at once? If so, why? Thanks!

Fed Chair Powell: "The U.S. economy is actually in pretty strong shape. [...] We had expected this year that growth would moderate to a more sustainable path. We also are raising interest rates, and the aim of that is to slow growth down so supply will have a chance to catch up."

It’s striking to me how many women don’t seem to grasp that the attack on abortion rights isn’t just about abortion — it’s about policing, controlling, & punishing women, and it won’t stop at banning abortion. If you think you’re “safe”, you’re misunderstanding what’s happening.

As a grad student, one of the areas I studied was the criminalization of pregnancy through maternal behavior. That’s the next step in the attack on abortion rights. Basically, anything a pregnant woman does — or doesn’t do — can end up under a microscope; then, in a court room.
