Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 15h agoA federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit from the Trump admin that sought to force Nevada to provide voters' driver's license and partial Social Security numbers. More than 20 other judges have issued similar rulings in other states.
Wow! Not even nursing homes are sacred when it comes to voting rights and the Trump administration. New federal guidance could make it harder for 1.2 MILLION nursing home residents to vote, while warning staff they could face fraud investigations for crossing the line when helping residents.

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 2d agoI'm still watching and waiting for the Supreme Court to decide DOJ's emergency motion to allow Trump to commandeer the U.S. Postal Service into service for his voter suppression scheme. Sign-up for Democracy Docket to stay informed! demdock.com/4w6emld
Well, except there IS audio. Miller himself, on tape, confirming the hot water incident happened: "I didn't mean to hurt you." Republicans demand resignations from Democrats over allegations alone. When it's their own colleague, with his own voice on tape, it's suddenly "a private matter."
This idiotic tweet reminds me of when a friend and I visited Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta. Founded in 1850, it reveals a fascinating history. We noticed how many gravestones were for infants. And for many young sibling dying in the same week. We realized that it was before vaccines and antibiotics.

Rep. Max Miller’s ex-wife sues after sensitive image of child was publicly shared
The Ohio Republican had released documents through a publicly accessible Dropbox account this month, seeking to fend off allegations of domestic abuse.

Rep. Max Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Miller and his attorney, alleging they “recklessly published” a nude image of Miller’s 2-year-old daughter online Moreno says the image showed the child’s genitalia and was available for download for 23 hours
The $25 MILLION ICE stun gloves are fucking diabolical. If you want to see how they’re supposed to work, watch this video. There’s no way this ends well. Now add this to the fact that DHS has already said body-cam footage will only be released when it’s “beneficial” to ICE.
How it started How it’s going BRING THE TROOPS HOME edition Anyone still supporting Trump’s pointless war should be forced to eat the same discolored mystery meat they’re being have until it ends. (This means you @MarshaBlackburn)

When you win a war, you dictate the terms of the peace. When you lose a war, you try to salvage the best deal you can get to end hostilities. What we are doing is the latter.

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍
