By Ralph Nader The victims of the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Turkey and Syria need your help now.

Michael Tomasky at the New Republic on the GOP and Trump today: Still think the Republican base is done with Donald Trump? Take a look at what happened in Michigan over the weekend. The state GOP chose as its new chair one Kristina Karamo, an extremist election denier who refused to concede a defeat in last year’s secretary of state race—even though she lost by 14 points. Yes, Trump endorsed a different candidate in the 10-person field to run Michigan’s GOP. But that doesn’t really matter. What matters, along with Karamo’s Trumpy election denialism, is the fact that all 10 candidates hugged Trump. One of them told The Washington Post that Trump’s endorsement was resented because “he don’t live here,” but this person still said, “We love Donald Trump.” Remember: This is a state where the Democrats have literally taken over just about everything. All four statewide elected officials are Democrats, starting with Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Democrats control both chambers of the state legislature.

“This is for all the marbles” There’s an election coming up in what is arguably the most important swing state in the country. And the stakes couldn’t be higher. Abortion. Union rights. Gerrymandering. Fair elections. Democrats and Republicans don’t agree on much in Wisconsin, the nation’s most important and arguably its most polarized swing state. But they agree that their state’s ongoing Supreme Court election is the most important in a generation. “The Supreme Court race is for all the marbles,” Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler told VICE News. Conservatives concur. They’re even using the same description. “This is for all the marbles,” Brandon Scholz, a veteran Wisconsin Republican strategist and lobbyist who has managed previous supreme court races, told VICE News. The April 4 election will determine whether liberals or conservatives have a majority on the state Supreme Court. That balance of power couldn’t be more important. The court will soon decide whether abortion is legal for the state’s 6 million people.
