Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

It’s the worst feeling when you’re completely defenseless, and russia keeps attacking civilian targets across Kyiv nonstop. Last night, not a single ballistic missile was intercepted. russia launched 24 ballistic missiles, 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles, and 115 drones.
DOJ is now 0-20 in cases to obtain state voter files. Here is the list: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
The far right is using the border chaos in Ceuta to manufacture a continent-wide crisis narrative. Actors immediately deploy divisive language to make voters angry as fast as possible, regardless of the facts. It is a familiar, dangerous playbook designed to stoke fear and undermine democracy.

Wait ... how can the US congress pass a bill that gives Spanish territory to Morocco? I must be missing something here.

Two weeks ago the House passed a bill that greenlighted the transfer of Spanish territory to Morocco. Every Republican except me voted for it, but now THEY are acting shocked at the invasion.”

Can someone explain how Axios could publish this and not note that DOJ has lost 18 of these cases and not won a single one? 0-18 is smart brevity.

Remember that time Donald Trump had to sit in a courtroom every day before he was convicted on 34 felony counts? I miss those days.
Trump's people organized migrant caravans in Latin America. Putin and Lukaschenko did the same to Poland. Now, Trump and Morocco are doing it to Spain. It's called hybrid warfare.
