Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake can’t seem to make up her mind. Does she believe that Arizona’s Civil War-era total ban on abortion is a “great law” and that abortion is “the ultimate sin,” as she said on the campaign trail in 2022? Or does she think that every woman should have “choices” when they get pregnant, as she insisted in a recent campaign video?
In the wake of a state Supreme Court decision re-animating the 1864 law that prohibits abortion at any point in pregnancy for any reason...

Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against right-wing news outlet Newsmax will get its day in court this fall — right before the 2024 voting begins.
A Delaware judge scheduled the $1.6 billion suit to go to trial in late September 2024, CNN reported. Dominion sued Newsmax, One America News (Oan) and former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne for defamation in August 2021 over its coverage of the 2020 election.
The voting machine company already emerged victorious in a similar suit against Fox News, walking away with a $787 million settlement, believed to be the largest defamation settlement in US history.
Oan also settled with Dominion earlier this month, CNN reported. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed. The Byrne case, along with a series of other suits Dominion brought against Trump allies like Rudy Giuliani and “My Pillow” CEO Mike Lindell are still pending, Reuters reported.

Arizona Republicans are hosting a two-day, QAnon-inflected, anti-vaccine circus at the statehouse — focused on supposed “atrocities” committed by public health officials in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The hearings, which began this morning, are organized by a new state Senate body, the Novel Coronavirus South Western Intergovernmental Committee. The committee’s chosen acronym — Ncswic, which has been plastered on posters promoting the hearings — offers unusual cross-branding. It shares the abbreviation of an infamous QAnon catchphrase, “Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming.”

About 15 minutes after a surprise settlement with Fox on Tuesday, Dominion Voting Systems’ lead attorney Justin Nelson stood before a horde of reporters waiting for any details on how the case was resolved.
“The truth matters. Lies have consequences…Today’s settlement of $787,500,000 represents vindication and accountability,” he said, as journalists feverishly tweeted and texted the amount.
Then Nelson went in to what the settlement means for Dominion and the country.
“The truth does not know red or blue. People across the political spectrum can and should disagree on issues even of the most profound importance. For our democracy to endure for another 250 years, and hopefully much longer, we must share a commitment to facts. Misinformation will not go away. It may only get worse. This litigation cannot solve all problems. All of us remain ever vigilant to find common factual ground. Today represents a ringing endorsement for truth, and for democracy.
