We should be concerned when Hannity is making sense of issues like women's reproductive rights: Fox News' leading misinformer may have thrown in the flag. He is now quoting Former President Bill Clinton for the abortion stance the GOP may want to take. [More]

Should Rep. Dean Phillips be taken seriously about having a real 2024 Democratic Primary?: Is Rep. Dean Phillips saying out loud what more than half the country is thinking? Is he correct that, in these times, a Democratic Primary gives Democrats a better chance of winning in 2024?

'This Is Huge': Judge Sides With Montana Youths in Historic Climate Ruling: Climate advocates on Monday expressed hope that an unprecedented ruling by a state judge in Montana, siding with 16 young residents who argued the state violated their constitutional rights by promoting fossil fuel extraction, will mark a sea change in the outcomes of climate lawsuits. In Held v. State of Montana, District Court Judge Kathy Seeley ruled that the rights of the plaintiffs—who range in age from 5 to 22— have been violated by the Montana Environmental Policy Act because the law has prevented the state from assessing the climate impacts of mining projects. Fossil fuel emissions, including Montana's, "have been proven to be a substantial factor" in heating the planet and causing pollution, Seeley said in the nation's first ruling on a constitutional, youth-led lawsuit regarding the climate. Because the Montana Constitution guarantees residents a "clean and healthful environment," the state's environmental policy law violates the document, said Seeley. [More]

In a radio interview on Friday, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos accused Protasiewicz of "prejudging" the outcome of a potential case challenging the legality of Wisconsin's maps. Earlier this month, a coalition of voting rights groups and law firms filed a lawsuit over the maps, appealing directly to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to strike them down. Protasiewicz, whose election victory earlier this year ended conservatives' 15-year dominance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, was critical of the state's maps during her campaign, calling them "rigged" and arguing they "do not reflect people in this state."
