Please call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the GOPโ€™s voter suppression bill, the so-called โ€œSAVE Act.โ€ Thank you.

The sad truth is that many orgs & leaders have been primed for years for this.

They've been conditioned to think:

1. Jews are more uniquely in danger than others

2. Even if others are in danger, we must protect ourselves first

3. It's okay to work with fascists if they claim to be on your side

Lake has done profound damage to Americaโ€™s foreign broadcasters, and to our ability to communicate with the world. USAGM runs Voice of America and gives grants to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, and the OTF, which helps people access information in places like Russia and Iran.

Macron warns of renewed friction with U.S., urges E.U. to use 'Greenland moment' to push reforms โ€œWhen thereโ€™s a clear act of aggression, I think what we should do isnโ€™t bow down or try to reach a settlement,โ€ Macron said in an interview with several European newspapers.

Stop relying on anything from the USA. That's the lesson.

I wish it was different, but from this point forward MAGA and its ilk are going to be throwing wrenches into everything.

Immigrant rights groups seek to dismiss a Republican lawsuit to exclude noncitizens from US census Immigrant rights groups are seeking to toss out a Republican lawsuit that would prohibit the U.S. Census Bureau from counting people who are in the U.S. illegally during the 2030 census.

Not to mention how stupid it is to do this when we rely on census data for things like infrastructure planning.

Bondi should be impeached based solely on her conduct today. Talking money when the topic is Epstein victims should earn her contempt of Congress and disbarment as well. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

The FBI seizure of Georgia 2020 election ballots relies on debunked claims An FBI investigation of the 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., was initiated by a lawyer who aided President Trump's unsuccessful efforts to overturn that election, an unsealed affidavit says.

UPDATE/SCOOP:

An FBI affidavit used to seize 2020 election ballots from Georgia's Fulton County omitted key findings from state investigators that undercut many questions about wrongdoing, an @npr.org analysis finds.

Read the Secretary of State's office investigative reports:

Today I saw something while entering a local fast food restaurant. There were large droplets of blood on the sidewalk all over an 8 foot area at the entrance. I went in intending on telling the manager that there was blood on pavement. I assumed that they knew, but just in case, Iโ€™d say something
