DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

We are very far from normal, my friends, but the language the judge uses here is shocking.

Any other time, this would fly through legal commentators with a collective gasp. Here and now, it's a Monday.

A smart Democrat like Ossoff will use this moment to dismantle whatever is left of the public’s trust in Trump.

He lied then. He lied now. He will lie tomorrow.

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch β€” telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.
