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.

This is not deporting people. Literally. Legally. There is a deportation process and this isn't it. This is rendition. This is disappearing people.

The other irony here is that Vance's right wing Catholicism/Christian Nationalism is much closer to sharia law (and a bigger threat to democracy) than anything in El Sayed's actual affordability platform. "Sharia law" is clearly just race baiting like Vance has a history of doing.

RFK Jr is an example of someone who is so profoundly and incorrigibly ignorant that he confuses his inability to understand science and data with being smarter than the scientists. He's also addle-brained. The number of people influenced by him is a sad commentary on the gullibility of the public.

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Tweet from Ben Shapiro: "It turns out that importing massive numbers of Muslims from third world countries is a bad idea. Not just because people get beaten in Dearborn for protesting or nearly stabbed in Ceuta for covering the news. But because radical Muslims create voting enclaves in Western countries, then build coalitions with radical Leftists who hate our civilization. Which is what’s about to happen in the Michigan Senate primary tonight.
