This is an endorsement of a candidate for Attorney General in one state but it also points out why a Democrat is better than a Republican for Attorney General in other states:

For example, a Democrat is more likely to sue the Trump Administration when needed.

Speaking of @lawfare, something odd seems to have happened:
Several of Lawfare's interactive projects, like their Government Contempt Tracker and their more recent interactive for the Fulton County Special Grand Jury transcripts, are hosted on GitHub pages.
The repositories for those projects used to be open source, but they have vanished from GitHub.
However, they are still hosted on GitHub pages.My best guess is they were privated, though that is speculation.
Regardless, I have no idea why they disappeared.They were previously hosted on the account https://github.com/tyler-mcbrien, which is presumably owned by Lawfare's Managing Editor Tyler McBrien.
Here is my fork of the contempt tracker: https://github.com/iam-py-test/government-contempt-tracker
Lawfare has its own account and organization on GitHub, but both are clearly ancient and neither hosts copies of the repositories: https://github.com/search?q=lawfare&type=users

Marc Elias: "With our team of 60 lawyers, Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 43 states plus Washington DC. Perhaps someone should ask the law firms with thousands of lawyers how many pro-democracy cases they are handling. For most, the answer is zero."

Joyce Vance: "Every time Todd Blanche opens his mouth, a defendant somewhere gets a better shot at successful motions for selective and vindictive prosecution."
#lawfare #injustice #politics -
Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, said other people who displayed the same numbers (86 47) would not face the same prosecution.
Mr. Blanche said: “What makes Mr. Comey’s case different is other evidence collected, which he said he could not describe."
This is called "selective prosecution" and it is one more sign that this case is phony.

"Knives are out for Ken Martin as Democratic National Committee chair, and they probably should be. Fundraising has been anemic, spending has been questionable, and he broke a clear promise to release the committee’s post-2024 autopsy. So Martin may not be long for the job." But he or whoever replaces him should "sue CBS News for $20 billion":

"The Supreme Court’s decision on Wednesday on the Voting Rights Act is a mind-boggling piece of judicial overreach." Justice Elena Kagan disagreed with the Republican majority , insisting: “I dissent because Congress elected otherwise. I dissent because the court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote.”
She is right. #lawfare #VotingRights #politics

Most lawyers believe that the ridiculous case against James Comey will be thrown out of court. Dean Obeidallah wrote that after this happens, ethics complaints should be filed against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for violation of the rules of professional conduct. Rule 3.8 titled “Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor” provides that "the prosecutor shall refrain from prosecuting a charge that the prosecutor knows is not supported by probable cause” which Comey's case is. #lawfare

Jesse Lee: "Someday they will teach about the Roberts Court as the pinnacle of partisan hackery and disgrace that it is. Just like we talk about Orban stacking the courts with his puppets for one-party control, the same goes for our Supreme Court."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/28/james-comey-fbi-second-indictment. This is UTTERLY ridiculous & a very clear & egregious example of the #law being abused as a means by #Trump & the #DOJ to persecute people they perceive to be their #political #enemies. This so-called #lawfare is totally unacceptable in any civilised #society, @Nonilex - but does the #USA count as one under #MAGA rule?

Andrew Fleischman: "Here is why James Comey is going to win:
1. The government must establish that '86 47' is a true threat.
2. True threats are serious expressions conveying that a speaker means to commit an act of unlawful violence.
3. This ain't that."

Sam Stein: "I suppose it's my duty to congratulate Zuckerberg today on correctly predicting this era of pure free speech we are in, when the FCC clamps down on Disney in unprecedented ways and the Department of Justice brings a case against James Comey for a picture of seashells that they deem to be a death threat."
