Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

So pleased that Nicole will be EFF's next ED. We will miss Cindy's leadership (and I know she'll stay in the fight!), but Nicole has the right skills, and heart, to take us forward in a time when our work is more necessary than ever.

Having Cindy as a mentor, colleague, and friend for the past two decades has been a privilege and a pleasure. I'm glad she's staying in the fight -- now more than ever the internet needs her excellent mind, instincts, and heart. And selfishly, it means we can stay partners in making good trouble.

Further evidence of DOGE success in improving the IRS: I got a letter saying I'm owed a significant amount of money (not fake, I checked) but I have to call to get it. Can't do online, have to talk to an agent. Have now been on hold twice for more than an hour without getting through.

It's really shocking, disturbing, & disappointing how little attention SCOTUS gives to the 1st Amendment rights of the millions of Americans who have chosen to use TikTok under its current editorial policy and features to speak with each other and the world & get information. Hardly an afterthought.
