What should the future of gun reform look like? Emma Brown has an idea. In an [interview]( with Eric Lutz, the new Giffords executive director talks about the “evolution” of the firearm-safety movement, how to engage with Republicans on the issue, and what the 2024 election could mean for her fight in the years to come. ”The stakes,” she says, ”couldn’t be higher.” Meanwhile, if you were expecting Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Donald Trump’s January 6 legal cases, Lutz [suggests]( that you think again. Plus, Caleb Ecarma has [the latest]( on Senator James Lankford facing furor from his own party for backing a bipartisan immigration bill that’s been months in the making. Thanks for reading.
