Who remembers that Clarence Thomas' clerk John Eastman was the author of the legal brief to overturn our election? Yep, Clarence Thomas.

John Eastman, who advised Donald Trump near the end of his presidency, was one of 18 people indicted alongside the former president for allegedly participating in a wide-ranging effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

He is accused of trying to persuade Mike Pence to either delay Congress' certification of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, or reject some states' slates of electors in order to allow alternate electors who would support Trump.

Eastman is also believed to be one of the six co-conspirators listed in the Justice Department's indictment of Trump, who was charged for trying to overturn the 2020 election. The co-conspirators, who are not yet named in the indictment, could still face charges. He is charged with election crimes in #Arizona and #Georgia

Why Arizona organizers aren’t shying away from saying ‘abortion’ https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/052924_abortion_access/why-arizona-organizers-arent-shying-away-from-saying-abortion/
The choice of name for the Arizona for Abortion Access speaks to two factors: their focus on abortion as opposed to reproductive rights more broadly, and their desire to normalize public discussion of abortion.

‘Secure Border Act’ will cost Az millions to enforce. And that might make it unconstitutional. https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/052924_border_act_costs/secure-border-act-will-cost-az-millions-enforce-and-that-might-make-it-unconstitutional/
Arizona Republicans want to give local police permission to arrest migrants, but there’s no plan to cover the costs that law enforcement officials and even GOP backers of the proposal say it will incur — and failing to account for that price tag might make the proposal unconstitutional.
