MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

White House aide calls Los Angeles anti-ICE protests an 'insurrection' Senior White House aide Stephen Miller on Saturday condemned protests in downtown Los Angeles against federal immigration raids as an "insurrection" against the United States.

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.

The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

Over the last five years, half of global migration and refugee flows happen between emerging-market and developing countries. Overwhelming majority of Sub-Saharan African migrant flows remain within Sub-Saharan African, whereas Middle East, Central Asian and Asian flows are more diverse.

We really need to talk about the British electoral system The British electoral system allows parties to focus on rivals, not issues. Fundamental challenges are therefore neglected.

BLOG: The delusion that UK political parties act in the interest of people afflicts many. Each party’s concern is to be ahead of the other party. Hence, the Tory Labour policies. Neither party’ll upset the cosy take-turns-at-eating duopoly defining British politics.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Is Trump taking my security clearance away, then turning it back on just so he can take it away again?

It’s petty retaliation because he keeps losing

He’ll probably take it away a 4th time this week when we win again - TN

My co-authors and I learned yesterday that USAID has canceled our grant for an ongoing RCT in the DRC. Conceived in 2019 and underway since 2023, the project aimed to help the provincial government build a mass appraisal tax system for more progressive taxation in a province that urgently needs it.

Ok this is nuts but we urgently need #USAID witnesses for TODAY 2/26: Marocco has stated that the USG cannot make all of the payments by midnight tonight. The lawyers need people who can refute (can be anonymous) and make the case that these payments CAN move! Contact Stephen.Wirth@arnoldporter.com
