NEW: Virginia Gov. Spanberger has restored the voting rights of more than 66,000 people who were formerly convicted of felonies. It's a stunning reversal of the felony disenfranchisement under prior Gov. Youngkin, who restored less than 10,000 people's voting rights across his entire 4-year term.
Imagine if Biden did that.

We face an open open question as to whether the president, anywhere, anytime he pleases, can execute or round up people he says are terrorists—without due process. That we are even entertaining such a discussion tells you how far Trump has damaged democracy open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
