Great thread 👇 about our need to make sense of a complex world about which we’re inclined to look for simplistic answers which can lead to misguided (to our it mildly) thinking. Also read the book (moving up my to-read list) “Let This Radicalize You”

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states.
My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5.
This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026.
More soon.
