Quick Glance: Nebraska Should Maintain Its Electoral Vote System
- Governor Jim Pillen is considering a special session to change Nebraska's electoral system to ensure Donald Trump wins all the state's electoral votes. However, this move is not as straightforward for Trump as Governor Pillen believes. It would not only make our state less democratic but could also backfire, potentially making Nebraska the deciding state that hands the election to President Joe Biden.
- Pillen and Republican allies are pushing to switch Nebraska to a winner-take-all system to secure all five electoral votes for Trump. This plan is likely to backfire, as opponents are expected to organize a ballot initiative to reverse it.
- Nebraska has a law allowing voters to challenge a bill before it becomes law through a petition process. If opponents gather the required 125,000 signatures, Pillen's transition to a winner-take-all system would be postponed until after November's general election and could be halted altogether if a majority of voters support the referendum.
- A ballot initiative would also benefit Democrats in the 2nd District, a true swing district. If successful, it could serve as an additional motivating issue for voters who rightly oppose Trump's interference with the state's democracy for his own gain.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles
- Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.
- The Supreme Court's decision to take the case may delay the former president's trial and deprive the public of the right to know if he attempted to undermine the sacred process of presidential succession.
- The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.
- The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.

Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence
- President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'
