1. Why don’t challenged voters sue for libel?

2. Why aren’t the #SCOTUS judges paying tax on the gifts they receive?

3. Why aren’t Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo in jail for ignoring subpoenas?

Alexei Navalny’s death requires me to remind Putin apologists that the ultimate form of vote suppression is assassinating your opponents. Navalny's sacrifice follows in the footsteps of Boris Nemtsov whom Putin assassinated in 2015 after he called for a protest against the first invasion of Ukraine.

I can’t make this up.
