Trump goes public with plan to "take over" elections
After the FBI seized 700 boxes of ballots in Georgia, the president calls on Republicans to assert control over voting "in at least 15 places.”

Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · 11mo agoBREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."
