All in all, 32 states are holding supreme court elections in 2026. These races will decide over 60 seats. Two states already resolved their contests—conservatives won in Arkansas, and liberals in Wisconsin. Nineteen states are holding regular elections for their supreme courts this year, meaning races where candidates can challenge incumbent judges or run for an open seat. How those work is straightforward; think of what you’re used to seeing for Congress or governor. But 13 states are holding retention elections, which are simple up-or-down votes, with no challengers, where voters decide if a judge who is already on the court should stay in office.

8. This is a novel kind of monopoly power. Economists Zach Brown and Alexander MacKay call it “algorithmic coercion.” And its impact “can be worse for consumers than if firms explicitly coordinated on high prices.” The FTC says Nessie generated $1B+ in extra profit in 3 years.

5. One is an “anti-discounting” algorithm that matches competitors’ price changes instantly to the penny. When a rival offers a discount, Amazon matches it; when rivals raise prices, Amazon follows. This denies other retailers a way to win customers by lowering prices.
