Man, this week was jam packed with good news! For those of you who might be new here, for me, good news is anything you might classify as a Democratic win, bad things happening to Republicans, accountability for those who need it, and anything else in the news that makes me smile. Without further ado, here’s the good news I found!

Kansas voters overwhelmingly rejected a constitutional amendment that would have banned abortion.
The DA in Tennessee who charged and imprisoned Pamela Moses, a Black activist, for illegally trying to re-register to vote (after a state elections office had mistakenly told Moses she was eligible to vote), lost her re-election bid last night.

Alex Jones got slapped with $4M in damages in the Sandy Hook parents’ defamation case, and this is before any punitive damages have been awarded.
Also, Alex Jones’ lawyer mistakenly (?) gave a digital copy of the text messages, etc. from Jones’ phone to the opposing lawyer. That lawyer has confirmed that the January 6th Committee is asking for that information.
The DOJ sued Trump White House aide Peter Navarro in an effort to compel him to produce emails from a personal account that he allegedly used to conduct official White House business.

Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting law was upheld by the state’s Supreme Court.
Guy Reffitt, an insurrectionist who brought a gun to the Capitol on January 6th and threatened his family to not turn him in, was sentenced to 7 years in prison, the longest January 6th sentence to date.
