"We have one goal right now, to win Michigan, and given the fact my opponent is Mike Rogers, who you agree is a beta, it probably shouldn't be very hard" -- Abdul El-Sayed more than held his own against Jesse Watters, who tried to trip him up on loaded culture war questions. Here's whole interview:

Rabb: There's a growing number of incoming and current members of Congress who understand that the days of incrementalism are over, and that we need bold policy positions. Voters want fighters. They want bold policy initiatives. And a new House majority by Democrats needs to lead with that boldness
In fact, the final Postal Service rule was issued late last week, though the Court seems to be ignorant of that fact. I expect that the states will file a new lawsuit and that this order will remain blocked for 2026.”
Election security expert David Becker: “There is another injunction in place, and even the majority of the Court agreed that a new lawsuit could be appropriately filed after a final Postal Service rule was issued....
Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Fund: “Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule. Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it.”
El-Sayed more than held his own with Jesse Watters. Here’s how the interview wrapped up

@stevevladeck.bsky.social aka "greased lightning vladeck'"already out with a detailed analysis of what's at stake and what isn't in the Supreme Court decision in the mail ballot case. As I've said before, his substack is indispensable. www.stevevladeck.com/p/246-making...
246. Making Sense of the Mail-in Ballots Ruling
The Supreme Court’s grant of a stay in one of the mail-in ballot cases is deeply wrong, but it’s also not the main event over whether Trump’s patently unlawful executive order can take effect.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned Trump is seeking to “foment chaos ahead of the November elections.”
NEWS: The Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority just handed Trump an initial victory in his push to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms, lifting a court order that blocked key parts of his executive order in 23 states. The ruling does not decide whether his actions are legal.
From separate dissent by Jackson in the mail order case: "This ruling violates well-established precedents concerning this Court’s equitable discretion and needlessly injects chaos and uncertainty into the upcoming midterm elections."
"it would be an October ambush, if not quite an October surprise. The Court endorses the administration’s current view that the suit is premature, and by the time it isn’t premature, it’s quite late—perhaps too late to restore order and lawfulness." harrylitman.substack.com/p/a-procedur...

Abbott also takes a swipe at Minnesota for supposedly not zealously seeking extradition in other cases involving sexual violence v children by illegal aliens. Utter garbage. And the whole point of constitutional provision in Art IV is that not to Abbott to evaluating bonafides of Minn indictment.
Texas Gov Abbott, outrageously, resisting Minnesota's constitution based command to return ICE officer indicted in Minnesota. Abbott's argument is that he was ordered to return to Texas by ICE so is not technically a fugitive.
the actual decision. Per curiam with Sotomayor + Kagan dissenting.: "even as the Gov represents [to defeat standing] that it may not implement the. Order at all, it insists that it seeks to implement the Order immediately for purposes of irreparable harm." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

ugh. Court grants stay in the Trump executive order on ballots accepting arg that the states' challenge is not yet ripe. As I wrote at the time, the risk is the administration controls the timing and may now spring it on states too late for them to counter. harrylitman.substack.com/p/a-procedur...
