ITA re: your review. Micah Stock was really impressive, holding his own with the masterful and riveting Metcalf. And Mantello’s direction shows how restraint can be effective.

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

We’re in the golden era of AI slop on the internet, @cwarzel.bsky.social argues. “To live through this moment is to feel that some essential component of our shared humanity is being slowly leeched out of the world.”

California is preparing to send its own state observers to watch over federal monitors from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. The move underscores a growing standoff between state election officials and a federal government many voting rights advocates say is weaponizing oversight.

I'm not sure I've ever read a political interview for which the subject was more wildly unprepared. These are all reasonable, sharp questions, and half her answers start with "Wait, wait, wait..."
