The conservative movement's war on the FBI is extending to response to mass shootings. Both Wayne LaPierre and @DLoesch hit the bureau blaming corruption on failures related to background checks/tips.

Smart story from @ZachMontellaro . Remember all those secretaries of state that stood up for the electoral system? They're gonna have to face the voters in 2022, with many GOPers still pushing unfounded/discredited claims about widespread fraud.

Election officials defended the 2020 vote. In 2022, they’ll have to defend themselves.

Secretaries of state will be on the ballot in five of the 10 closest presidential battlegrounds next year.

JUST IN: Vice President Kamala Harris told @chucktodd the current Supreme Court is "an activist" body in the wake of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe vs. Wade. Read more on the @MeetThePress Blog and watch more Sunday morning!

VP Harris attacks 'activist court,' says the loss of rights post-Roe has led to ‘suffering’

In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Meet the Press, the vice president says court took away an “established right” on abortion.

This is an awesome story (and unique idea) by @aseitzwald about how the potential Democratic first families look less like the historical examples and more like modern American families
