“There has been a wave of state-level restrictions on voting rights. Since the 2020 election, state lawmakers have enacted 28 laws in 17 states to curtail ballot access.

“Let’s check in on the efforts to hold participants in the 6 January Capitol insurrection accountable. Prosecutors have resisted releasing one man, Robert Morse, a former army ranger, on bail in part because a raid on his home recovered military gear, firearms and a US Capitol Lego set. Law enforcement also recovered a notebook from Morse’s car with a section titled ‘Step by Step to Create a Hometown Militia’ with reminders including ‘bring kit/body armor’, ‘bring assault rifle’ and ‘four magazines’. Those magazines? Architectural Distress, Good Housetaking, Highlights: All Goofus Edition, and Twenty Years to Life.” —Stephen Colbert
