The Week Ahead

Good morning, and happy Sunday! Here are some of the stories I am tracking in the news. Justices under scrutiny. So, it turns out it wasn’t just Justice Clarence Thomas we should be concerned about.

"Not the odds but the stakes."

That's my shorthand for what we most need from election coverage in 2024. Not who has what chances of winning, but the consequences for our democracy. Not the odds, but the stakes.
