Just talked to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes on my Ouija board. Says it's another scorcher down there.

If SCOTUS sides with Trump this week, the consequences could reach far beyond one executive order. This isn't just another shadow docket case. It's about who controls access to the ballot—and who gets to decide whether your vote counts. Here's what's at stake: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
