See only, but not have a copy. They can "take notes." This way DOJ can dispute what our elected leaders tell us. This is BS.

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.

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.

Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

Harriet Tubman led military raids during the Civil War as well as her better-known slave rescues Harriet Tubman has long been known as a conductor on the Underground Railroad leading enslaved Black people to freedom. Less known is her role as a Union spy during the Civil War.

We know Harriet Tubman as the conductor of the Underground Railroad.

Less known: she was also a Civil War spy and the first woman in U.S. history to lead an armed military raid — freeing more than 750 people from slavery.

A Rural S.C. County Quietly Approved a $2B Data Center During the Winter Storm Data centers are the nation's fastest-growing energy demand driver, but developers are using nondisclosure agreements to keep projects hidden.

The Council signed an non disclosure agreement, so citizens will be kept in the dark 🤬 this is so wrong

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

“We don’t need a warrant.” That’s what Congress is voting to fund today. Armed agents. No due process. Fear on public transit. Meanwhile ERs close and patients wait.
This is state violence. Fund care, not intimidation. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️
