NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

That means it's working! Fascists should have no safe harbor anywhere on the planet! If they are afraid for their lives, they will be much less likely to vote in a way that hurts yours!
Politico@politico.com · 11mo agoMembers of Congress are pulling back on outdoor events following the deadly shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk — a sign of widespread fear among elected officials amid the current surge of political violence.
Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.
Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence. What a legacy.
@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social this is exactly the rot that props fascism up in America. Dressing Kirk’s hate as ‘the right way’ isn’t analysis—it’s appeasement. Call it what it is: laundering bigotry through polite language. That makes you less a journalist and more a fascist in liberal clothing.
Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 11mo ago“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.
no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace
It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence. Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

🎶 “Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Hey hey hey, goodbye!”🎶 🎶 People sang as ICE retreated and their vehicle with slashed tires was towed away. More than 100 demonstrators had surrounded ICE as roofers refuse to come down from rooftop in Rochester, N.Y. #RochesterResists #AbolishICE #HandsOffNewYork
Can you imagine if these people had the same outrage, compassion and empathy for school shootings? 😞
The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.
What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨
“But he had a family!” He also clearly didn’t love his family.
I think some of these people writing about Charlie Kirk are unaware of who Charlie Kirk was beyond Charlie Kirk’s self-description
