Right-wing group sues Illinois in first post-Callais attack on a state Voting Rights Act
Illinois may now be the first major test of whether right-wing litigants can turn Callais into a broader weapon against state laws designed to protect minority voting power.

And you just know if he showed up in a well-tailored suit, POTUS/VP/MAGA would be claiming he was stealing his country’s money to go shopping at fancy boutiques. Can’t win either way with those assholes.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We're not done yet | 18F

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself. Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture: www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D...

My news consumption has changed drastically since this past election, which could not be noted on the survey. I used to watch MSNBC regularly, but have not turned it on in since election night. Can I explain why? Not really. Still trying to figure out what’s holding me back.

And no Alexa Henning (Trump’s transition spokesperson), his winning margin did not give him a “mandate for change from the American people”. That margin was historically low. And almost half of us think he should be in prison, not the White House.

Some facts to keep in mind as the felon/GOP try to take credit for Biden-Harris & Democrats’ accomplishments! Look out for the felon/GOP TANKING the economy, exacerbating income & wealth inequality in the USA, but “forgetting” they inherited a robust, thriving economy from Biden-Harris & Democrats!
