Two cases and the grease that breaks democracy
The obvious lesson many are drawing is that ordinary citizens are more reliable protectors of democracy than judges in black robes.
My latest. I hope you read, consider and share.π
The events of the last 24 hours must serve as a wake-up call for a federal judiciary that has grown too comfortable deferring to the executive branch and too slow to hold it accountable. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...

Yeah, a mylar party balloon shut down an international airport, jeopardizing patients with medical issues: " including medical evacuation flights forced to divert to Las Cruces, N.M., a city about 45 miles to the northwest." The idiots in Trump's cabinet are threatening lives, not helping.

Trump AG Bondi Hearing Goes Nuclear When Dem Leader Demands She Pipe Down: βI DID Tell You!β
Pam Bondi and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) literally screamed at each other during an oversight hearing after Raskin demanded she stop talking over his members.
Our Attorney General calls Raskin, who graduated magna cum laude (twice) from Harvard Law, a hack lawyer. Meanwhile Bondi went to Stetson University, a school in FL no one's ever heard of. She and the rest of our leaders are all 3rd rate if that. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Bondiβs βblackmailβ letter to Minnesota deepens concerns over DOJβs voter roll motives, federal judge says
The judge reiterated the DOJ's case against Oregon will be dismissed entirely.
π¨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondiβs recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administrationβs campaign may be driven by improper motives.

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted
The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.
A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted.
The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.

Write and call your representatives. Demand that they defund ICE and support MN's (and every other state's) legal right to keep voter rolls private. The intention was always about stealing the next election.
