Republicans know exactly what they are doing in these cases. Speculation that they might simply be waging an ideological battle — and that it could backfire politically — is either dangerous wishful thinking or uninformed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Trump’s been knocked back—and he’s lashing out. From vile outbursts to GOP pressure on Epstein transparency and warnings to the troops, it’s been a wild week in Washington. Bright & early Mon., Talking Feds breaks it all down.

Remember, Kushner EXPRESSLY PROMISED he would not play a role in Trump's second administration as a way of waiving away criticism that he took billions in Saudi investments

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

You probably didn't notice when Trump posted this on Election Night. Tomorrow I write for Democracy Docket about how this was a cue for the GOP to take off the gloves in the war on voting and how one state is already escalating its attacks on democracy.

The Trump admin keeps making things worse as they try to lie their way out of the crisis around the so-called Ukraine “peace plan.” We break it all down, and dissect all the weekend’s news, in today’s bulletin. We’ve made this one 100% paywall free: www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

RPG Tip: Have a “grab bag” of NPC archetypes ready. Merchant, soldier, noble, scholar, reskin as needed. It’s just a nice resource to have when your players zig instead of zag. #DnD #TTRPG

My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court.

These cases — and others like them —
will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

As I say at the beginning of this video, I've been litigating big case for more than 30 years but I have never seen anything like this. Get a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy the ride. youtu.be/HqMlZ0-Up4s?...

This was a week when President Donald Trump’s authoritarian power grab — from his bid to rig the 2026 midterms to his corrupt, revenge-driven prosecutions — suffered some major setbacks. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Mark Kelly: "They're tying themselves in knots trying to explain why what they're doing with regard to these drug boats is legal. It's questionable at best. One of our biggest allies, the UK, recently stopped sharing intelligence with us in the Caribbean because they question whether this is legal."

As the Acq Inc franchise (pun intended) moves into a new chapter by adopting the newly released Daggerheart rule set, I wanted to thank all the people who've contributed to it, and I want to thank all the folks who've used it in their games. May your ventures always be profitable.

Sometimes I hear people say the Acq Inc hardcover was not a "real Wizards book." I've gotten thick skin over the years, but that one stings a bit. It's a miracle any book gets made. Getting a book like Acq Inc made is a double-miracle.

They are the ones who worked to put the whole thing together: writing and art and layout. Most importantly, they are the ones who worked with Wizards of the Coast to get it published and distributed with WotC. That is no small task. That is less for the faint of heart than creating an RPG book.

Although Teos Abadia and I did a great deal of the game-design writing on the book, and the genius creators like Mike and Jerry at Penny Arcade are responsible for the entire milieu in which Acq Inc exists, the two heroes of the book were Scott Fitzgerald Gray and Elyssa Grant.

What I do want to talk about is how difficult, complicated, harrowing, and wonderful it is to make an RPG book. At this point I've been intimately involved in making several. The amount of time, energy, and worry that goes into it is not for the faint of heart. Or apparently, the mentally sound.

For me, AI does not mean Artificial Intelligence. It means Acquisitions Incorporated. And this time of year, as PAX Unplugged winds down, will forever remind me of making the Acquisitions Incorporated D&D hardcover. I have endless stories about that book, but those are best saved for another time.

CROW: We wanted to start a conversation about the dangerous rhetoric this president is using and threats he's made to use our military in an unlawful way

BRENNAN: Specifically what?

CROW: Send troops into Chicago, into polling stations, kill terrorists' families, shoot peaceful protesters ...

Crow: "It's so telling that when members of Congress simply remind service members of the Constitution and their duty to obey the law that he cannot handle that and resorts to threats of violence and execution. That tells you everything you need to know about Trump's respect for the Constitution"

RPG Tip: If players zig, don’t force the zag. Follow their lead and see where it goes. The game has elements of improvisational play to it. Denying that is denying a strength of TTRPGs. #DnD #TTRPG

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy
