Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

I’ve a distant memory being taught Castro would go to classrooms & tell students to close their eyes and ask God for a candy bar. Nothing appeared. Then he’d say close your eyes and ask your gov’t. There was a candy bar in front of each kid. Trump’s a relic from that Cold War era.

The right-wing’s efforts at the dumbing down of Americans is quite extraordinary. It’s not enough to ban books and rewrite history? Wonder why they don’t want people to read or research or know things.

Bang up job by the DOJ lawyer here Court: So you can drop them off wherever and as long as you don't know someone is literally standing there waiting to shoot, that's fine? Defense counsel: "In short, yes."

The court characterizes the DOJ argument as being that the DHS can drop people off in parts unknown and "as long as the Department doesn't already know there's someone standing there waiting to shoot...that's fine."

The court cites to a DOJ dense counsel replying, "In short, yes."
