I love long-form and will try to post the pieces that really linger with me.

The latest is this @ProPublica piece written in collaboration with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Just an incredibly reported and devastating read.

“Tennessee is now the only state in the country that requires those convicted of felonies be up to date on child support payments before they can vote again.

The state makes little data available about who has lost the right to vote and why.”

Apparently because I'm a glutton for punishment I read the order that issued a nation-wide injunction on student debt relief.

And boy, the "major questions doctrine" is about as flimsy as it is dangerous.

The amount of institutional damage the judiciary is taking right now is pretty wild.

Catching up on SCOTUS oral arguments in the Haaland v. Brackeen which could strike down the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). This federal law grapples with the ugly history of breaking up Indian families and tearing children away in an effort to destroy native communities.

Really terrifying and massive potential consequences.

Of course, for Indian Country first and foremost.

But the way SCOTUS could rule would absolutely hamstring congressional authority in all sorts of areas.

Big yikes.
