The Trump administration asked Washington state to set aside more than 400 ballots from individuals it claims may not be eligible to vote, following a similar request in California.

Case in point.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Breaking News: A federal appeals court declined a Trump administration request to order California to set aside about 20,000 ballots.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

The DOJ’s case to set aside 20,000 mail-in ballots in California fell flat in front of a 9th circuit panel, as the government struggled to explain how it flagged these particular voters in the first place, or how it could screen them without disenfranchising others

He'll be fine. His personal hero was also thrown in jail, and used the time to get some writing done.

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

the guy who persuaded out-of-state GOP operatives to illegally vote in PA by using his beaver county home address is an anti-voter fraud crusader you say?

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...
