If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

CNN is reporting that Trump has disbanded a team at the FBI that protects elections from foreign interference. People are outraged but personally I think it's kind of bold of those people to assume that there will be further elections. 🤷
Another 5 minute break: can't even avoid finding another racist screed out of our tiny-minded buddy Elon. futurism.com/civil-rights...
Civil Rights Groups Horrified at Elon Musk's Racist Outburst Against Black People
Civil rights groups were understandably horrified after Elon Musk endorsed a tweet suggesting Black students have lower IQs.

Teeny-tiny-minded. " "BTW, looks like multiple layers of merit-based evaluations before they can fly for United," Cuban tweeted, adding a link to the program. In a schoolyard bully-esque response, a clearly incensed Musk called him "a liar" — without offering any evidence, of course. "
If it wasn't a Nazi salute why did ELON CENSOR IT WHEN HE POSTED THE CLIP TO TWITTER
Free speech absolutist gave up before he began and he's on the righteous side because that's NOT a Nazi salute. Sure. If you believe that I have some crypto coins and a series of unicorn NFTs to sell ya.
Elon grimaces as he throws a Nazi salute because uh he's "throwing his heart out to us?" 🤡
Come on. Elon just now presented at a rally for the far right German afd party and said multiculturalism pollutes everything. Nothing more needs be said. This was a Nazi salute. Period. Just as it appeared. The duck turned out to be a duck. Absolutely no surprise.
The United States of America had a really crummy 250th birthday party. Once Trump is out I feel like they should throw themselves another, proper, one. You're only as old as you feel. Anyway, I'm sure countries stay 250 years old for decades.

Florida has ranked last in the country in the availability of home health care workers. Experts warn that the revocation of Haitian citizens' temporary protected status will only worsen this crisis. "In the end, the patients most likely to bear the brunt of the end of TPS are the elderly."

ICE’s Violence Is No Accident. It’s Part of the Job.
After ICE agents killed a man in Maine, the Department of Homeland Security suspended traffic stops, then reversed course. But the official policy is just optics, anyway: Agents know what they’ve been hired to do.
