All Trump’s malevolence and psychosis will be on full display right after the midterms. We’ve been here before in Nov 2020, and here we go again. The national nightmare of Trump refusing to accept defeat and dragging the country through lies, conspiracies and drama begins again.

There’s no way Andrew Bailey quit his position as AG of Missouri expecting to serve as a co-Deputy FBI Director under Kash Patel. He was either given assurances that Kash was going to be gone soon and he would get the gig, or he thought that on his own. Anyway, good riddance.

"The Supreme Court’s decision Friday to revive the Trump administration’s expanded SAVE database for the midterms also suggests the justices may be eager to weaken one of federal law’s most important safeguards against last-minute voter purges." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In SAVE ruling, Supreme Court signals path to weaken key protection against last-minute purges
A crucial voter protection could hinge on whether the Supreme Court wants to narrow the definition of “systematic” as applied to purges. And there’s reason to fear that it does.
