Morning Reads for Wednesday, October 30

Georgia

• Condolences to the friends and family of Tom Hice, father of Congressman Jody Hice
• Erickson, a useful thermometer of Trump-skeptical conservatives, canceled the Resurgent Gathering. Read why.
• A diagram of the Army Corps’ proposed rock weir passage on the Savannah
• Georgia will execute Ray Cromartre tonight unless the courts order a stay to test DNA evidence
• A viewing for Senator Leroy Johnson will be held at the Capitol
• Anatomy of a Lynching
• In anticipation of Game 7, watch this phenomenal video on the life of Lonnie Smith. It’s (mostly) not about the Game 7 you’re thinking.

• Should we spend more time arguing about Latin America?
• We should be furious about California blackouts
• The overstated collapse of American Christianity
