This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

So, he’s saying he’s gonna steal all the tariff money? I can’t figure any other way parse this out. And if his candidates win he’ll bribe everybody, but if not, he’ll punish everybody by keeping the money for himself and his cronies.

federal judges only do this when they are extremely fuckin tired of your shit and you needed to quit playin in people's faces days ago like oh my God www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

screenshot of a paragraph excerpted from the linked opinion, with the final sentence of the paragraph highlighted. excerpt reads as follows:

This Court’s September 10 stay order meant that the
2022 map would be used in the 2026 congressional election
in Missouri, absent further order of this Court. And the
election has now begun under the 2022 map. But on
September 21, 11 days after this Court’s most recent order,
the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ordered
the District Court to enter a permanent injunction in effect
requiring use of the 2025 map instead of the 2022 map in
the 2026 election. Given this Court’s two prior orders in
this litigation, our conclusion that this was error should
come as no surprise.

Screenshot of the beginning of a paragraph excerpted from the linked opinion, with the second sentence highlighted. Excerpt reads as follows:

The Purcell principle applies with even greater force
here. The election is not merely upcoming; it has already
started. Ballots using the 2022 map have been printed and
mailed. Absentee voting has already begun, as has military
and overseas voting. According to local election officials in [page ends there]

screenshot of the final paragraph of the linked opinion, with the final two sentences highlighted. Underneath "Per Curiam" and three asterisks, the paragraph reads as follows:

For those reasons, the application for stay presented to
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH and by him referred to the Court is
granted. The September 21, 2026, mandate and September
22, 2026, order entered by the U. S. Court of Appeals for the
Eighth Circuit in No. 26–2797, and the September 21, 2026,
and September 22, 2026, injunctions entered by the U. S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, No.
4:26–cv–01424, ECF Docs. 57 and 60, are stayed absent any
further order of this Court lifting such stays. The prior stay
entered by this Court on September 10, 2026, likewise
remains in effect pending any further order of this Court
lifting that stay. The District Court and Court of Appeals
should not enjoin or otherwise prohibit the use of the 2022
map in the 2026 congressional election in Missouri. And
the District Court and Court of Appeals should not order or
otherwise require Missouri to use the 2025 map in the 2026
congressional election in Missouri.

"It is so ordered" then appears in italics, in the bottom-right corner of the page

Hard to keep track of just how illegal this all is. DHS quietly updated policies to DELETE people with final deportation orders from databases--even while they are still inside US concentration camps. They also stopped sharing where people are held in phone calls with attorneys or family. #ICEOUT

Immigrants with final deportation orders disappear from ICE detainee locator

The change will make it harder for many families and attorneys to determine where an immigrant is being held after being taken into ICE custody.

The Hitler fan at DOJ is ghosting Ted Boutros. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE HEARING
Early this morning the Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order directing “that
Defendants (except for President Trump) and their agents, representatives, and all persons or
entities acting in concert with them shall immediately return, reinstate, and restore the White
House ‘hard pass’ press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that
were revoked on or about September 18, 2026.” Dkt. 24 (the “Order”). This morning journalists
from each of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO attempted to enter the White House and were
turned away, and Secret Service agents confiscated the hard pass of journalists whose hard passes
had not previously been confiscated. And when Plaintiff Betsy Klein, whose hard pass was
confiscated on Saturday, September 19, requested to have her hard pass returned, her request
was denied and she was refused access to the White House complex. And time is of the essence
—CNN is scheduled to be the television pool this evening for President Xi Jinping’s visit to the
White House.
Counsel for Plaintiffs reached out to counsel for Defendants this morning and requested to
call the Court together. Counsel for Defendants has not responded.

Rumors about “rigged elections" are now a fixture of U.S. elections, leading to diminished trust in election results & democracy (broadly). These rumors can sometimes be hard to debunk, esp. in their early stages. Our UW team has identified the 6 common ways that election integrity rumors mislead:

Infographic titled "Six Ways 'Rigged Election' Rumors Mislead." A two-column table pairs six labeled categories with descriptions. The first three categories are:

No Evidence: The rumor is entirely unsubstantiated. There's no evidence to support the rumor.

Fake/False Evidence: The rumor is based on fake or synthetic evidence (e.g. AI-generated content), manipulated evidence, or false witness testimony.

Misinterpreted Evidence: This rumor is based upon real evidence that has been misinterpreted or intentionally mischaracterized to create a false impression.

A black banner then introduces the final three categories: "Real Evidence, Real Voting Issue, False Narrative."

Exaggerated Impact: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but falsely insinuates or exaggerates impact on election results.

Ignored Remedies: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but ignores and/or obscures the remedies that would address this problem

False Blame: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but either falsely attributes intent for an accidental issue or places blame on an innocent party.
