See my earlier piece on the closing arguments in the Rittenhouse trial below. When the verdict is announced I’ll cover all developments as they come in a separate piece to which I will continuously add new information (rather than send out a bunch of individual pieces per update).

Knives out between Biden and Harris camps (curious: are they trying to leapfrog Buttigieg over Harris?)

Beto is running to lose his third race, this time for Texas governor. Fun fact about his nickname:
“In the backdrop of the city's multicultural community, his father, Pat O'Rourke, a consummate politician, once explained why he nicknamed his son Beto: Nicknames are common in Mexico and along the border, and if he ever ran for office in El Paso, the odds of being elected in this mostly Mexican-American city were far greater with a name like Beto than Robert Francis O'Rourke. It was also a way to distinguish him from his maternal grandfather, Robert Williams.”
