Legis1’s newsroom is built on top of that foundation. Editors determine what stories are executed; the data platform is leveraged to establish a deep fact base, AI-assisted processes act according to instructions to assemble the data into drafts, and journalists add, edit, and verify. Our goal is to bring deep, systematic, data-driven, nonpartisan coverage at scale.

Martin seems to have volunteered to take up politically charged prosecutions after a slew of Minnesota ASUA resignations. Following the mass resignation of more than a dozen Minnesota AUSAs after Renee Good's murder, Martin and Eastern District of Michigan AUSAs under Martin seemingly volunteered to join another state’s U.S. Attorney’s Office to support the filing of politically motivated cases coming out of Minnesota. At least one of these cases, filed by AUSA Danielle Asher (who reports to Martin), was filed in the Eastern District of Michigan, extending the prosecutorial tentacles from Minnesota all the way to eastern Michigan.

I got angry & went way too far, so I erased the post. After a day of non-stop anti-Semitic attacks, I said something I 100% shouldn't have. It doesn't represent me. It was wrong. I was wrong. I could make excuses, but it's on me. It was cruel and uncalled for. I hope Andrew forgives me.

FB post from Valli Geiger "My Dear and Caring Community: After much reflection, I have decided to step back from running for the US Senate. It is an honor for Graham, Amy and his campaign to ask me to consider running for senate, to believe that that is the best way for me to keep this amazing movement alive. I believe I will better serve the movement by continuing to represent my community in the Maine Legislature and by throwing my support behind Shenna Bellows for US Senate. I believe whole heartedly that it is time to turn things over to the next generation of leaders as opportunities arise in Washington D.C."

Sounds straightforward enough. Then you remember how people actually talk—online and off. Can teens discuss addiction and recovery? Can a 15-year-old post that she’s worried she has a friend who is drinking too much? Can they seek advice about a parent’s gambling problem, or get help if they or a family member have been scammed? Can they participate in harm-reduction communities or discuss substance abuse treatment? All of these young people would be engaging in lawful speech when discussing topics covered by KOSA’s enumerated harms. The bill does not directly ban those conversations. But it places platforms under huge pressure to create and enforce moderation policies around broad categories of lawful speech. Faced with legal risk, many services will inevitably choose to remove that speech or restrict those discussions to spaces where they know only adults can participate. We’ve seen this movie before. When legal risk goes up, platforms will take down more speech.

Before the rally, Mr. Talarico spent time walking back some of his past comments, saying in a television interview on CBS News on Wednesday that he regretted past statements that had “missed the mark” or been “cringey.” “I know there are two sexes, men and women,” Mr. Talarico said. “I also know there is a very small percentage of people who have these chromosomal abnormalities, and I believe they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/us/politics/ken-paxton-james-talarico-texas-senate-race.html?searchResultPosition=3

Whereas rhetoric and policies from leftist activists and pro- gressive politicians seek to defund or dismantle local po- lice departments undermine public safety and place both officers and the communities they serve at greater risk; Whereas sanctuary city policies that restrict cooperation with Federal immigration authorities can compel local law en- forcement agencies to divert already limited resources and actively encourage resentment toward local law en- forcement; Whereas the Trump administration’s focus on restoring law and order has contributed to a notable decline in homi- cide rates, with levels reaching among the lowest recorded in over a century;
From page 7 of the United States Counterterrorism Strategy: "In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national CT activities will also prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist. We will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally before they can maim or kill the innocent. We will do the same with the state sponsors of such groups and those governments undertaking lethal plots on U.S. soil or against Americans anywhere."
