Colleen Melody, Mike Diaz, Debra Stephens up in Washington State Supreme Court contests; Theo Angelis in a competitive race
In every one of the 2026 Supreme Court contests we asked voters about at the end of May 2026, 60% or greater said they were not sure how they would vote. Among the respondents who did have opinions, incumbents did well, as did two appeals court judges who are running for open seats. One incumbent, recently appointed Justice Theo Angelis, appears to be more at risk of elimination than his peers, at least before the intensive voter contact phase of the campaign.

Book Review: “When Companies Run the Courts” sets off red alerts for the structural injustices we live among
Brendan Ballou's 2026 book critiques forced arbitration as a tool that undermines constitutional rights, shielding corporations from accountability while disenfranchising individuals. Through compelling case studies, he highlights the prevalence of one-sided arbitration agreements and the systemic bias in favor of powerful corporations.

The two faces of the beautiful game: World Cup fever lights up Seattle amid systemic, fiscal, and border friction
