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.

IN BOLD— Rep. Beatty wants the judge to issue another Kennedy Center order that Trump DOJ can't pretend to misunderstand, "making clear that either the wholesale demolition of the building or demolition that would make public access impossible would violate the Court’s existing order."
Defendants’ failure to follow the orderly process of seeking to modify or dissolve the preliminary injunction—or even to seek an emergency or temporary modification—adds to the
well-established pattern of officials in this Administration moving faster and one step ahead of the
courts in an effort to evade the constraints imposed by judicial orders and frustrate meaningful judicial review. Plaintiff implores the Court not to stand by while Defendants repeat that pattern here. To that end, at a minimum, Plaintiff requests the Court enter an order making clear that either the wholesale demolition of the building or demolition that would make public access impossible would violate the Court’s existing order

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.

TRUMP PROMISES vs. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
Trump has floated/promised billions in direct payments to US voters before. Here's what actually happened:

TRUMP PROMISES vs. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:

🔴 $5,000 DOGE dividend — Trump backed the idea of returning DOGE savings to Americans. No $5,000 checks were delivered.

🔴 $2,000 tariff dividend — Trump proposed $2,000 payments funded by tariff revenue. No such checks were delivered.

🔴 $1,000+ ACA “savings” checks — No Trump program delivering $1,000+ stimulus checks from ACA subsidy savings was enacted.

🟡 $5,000 “Trump dividend” — Announced Sept. 9, 2026. Trump says every adult citizen would get $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress. Conditional on their vote.

Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,
