NEW: Pro-voters asked the Texas Supreme Court to block Galveston County from moving some local candidates to new districts under a revised map drafted after the primary elections. They warned that, if not stopped, the move could be replicated across the state to undermine the will of voters.

A Texas county is quietly planning to swap voting maps between its primary and November election

If allowed to proceed, it would likely be the first time Texas voting maps are changed between the primary and general elections.

The booing of what sounds like a foreign (and no doubt in the man's mind, 'Islamic') name, really speaks volumes about the mindset of some Trump supporters. Even when Trump is gone, this white Christian nationalist section of US society will still remain.

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

Federal officials recently started threatening to seek criminal charges against two county sheriffs in Minneapolis and Chicago — cities that have experienced some of the most intense immigration enforcement of the Trump era — who have declined to give ICE access to inmates subject to deportation.

Trump is trying to pull off a US-style version of the Tiananmen Square Massacre coverup where everyone in China who remembered what happened on June 4, 1989 knows *exactly* what they must not admit and is utterly terrified to speak the truth. I never imagined seeing such abject cowardice in the US.

😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

Ossoff: I never want to hear these two pretend they give a damn about working people again. Because while hundreds of thousands of Georgians lose their health care, Mike Collins builds Trump a ballroom. They worked harder burying the Epstein files than they ever did lowering your grocery bill.

Tuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."

The Chronicle has come out *very* early with an endorsement in the race for CA Insurance Commissioner. I suggest you read it. And if you rent and think this doesn't apply to you, it ultimately affects your costs too: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/arti...

Endorsement: Ben Allen for California insurance commissioner

OPINION: In a race with no Republican, some California voters may see an opportunity to take a chance on a radical candidate for state insurance commissioner. That would be a terrible mistake.
