In yet another blow to the DOJ’s effort to seize sensitive voter registration data, a Trump-appointed judge threw out a lawsuit seeking Kentucky’s unredacted voter list. The DOJ has yet to win a single court order to obtain unredacted statewide voter data. demdock.com/4fjRx7U

It’s a shame, civil servants, that accomplished much good for Minnesotans, such as the Hoffmans (and their dog) were murdered. The federal judge said 2 life sentences plus 40y was longest sentence he handed down in his career … yet, doesn’t seem enough for the evil Boelter committed that day.

Another example of Trump unable to respond in kindness. He knows history will not treat him well; else he wouldn’t change/add his name to money, airports; post his photo on buildings; destroy the White House- the rose garden & east wing demolished; he only cares about increasing his wealth.

many still won’t stand for the people that stood in long lines, some in states where they can’t hand out water to voters! The most basic job of a representative & senator is to give voice to his/her constituency. Not provide the president w/more “power/s,” not go against reasons people voted.

Trump is having 2-3 “annual MRIs,” however, unsure why/what part of his body his docs are monitoring. Docs pd for by the taxpayers, regardless he could easily pay out/of/pocket. Then, RFKj is left to make decisions that will no doubt harm Americans - of every race, from infants to elders.

Sadly, Hegseth doesn’t care if his decisions are wrong. He cares about showing he’s the boss over high ranking officers; getting rid of women & people of color; and, when he does something blatantly wrong, that puts troops in harm … he cowers under a desk to scapegoat someone for his mistakes.
