David Waldman and Greg Dworkin begin the month and the week and maybe the day too, depending on when you get up, with another fine KITM:

Election denying could only take Kari Lake so far in running for election in Arizona. Therefore, Lake demands that her previous demands are reversed, as well as how people vote and how votes are counted until whatever she needs, she gets. It’s in the Constitution, look it up! And if it isn’t, Republicans will just write a new Constitution, so that their Supreme Court doesn’t need to work so hard.

Donald Trump proved that what he says and what is never need be connected. And if one day Jackie Paper comes no more… well, that just can’t happen. There’ll always be more.
There are calls for classroom cameras so that Kindergarten teachers can be better judged on their shooting prowess. A professor didn’t need a classroom to shoot his student.

It doesn’t get more real than Ukraine, and rust never sleeps.
