NEW FROM ME: This morning, a federal judge in Maryland handed the DOJ its ninth defeat in a series of 31 cases the department has filed to gain access to state voter files. The DOJ has yet to win a single one. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/dojs...

DOJ's losing streak just might save the midterms
We have already sued to block Trump's anti-voting executive orders. If the USPS adopts an anti-voting rule, we will bring litigation to stop it.

Ted Lieu: “There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at the Justice Dept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego”

Treasury just waived oil sanctions on Iran for 60 days — citing "progress." Iran could rake in up to ~$10 billion off that decision alone. In contrast, the Obama admin didn't lift sanctions until a deal was signed and the IAEA independently verified Iran's nuclear compliance.

It's easy to shrug off the idiots claiming that the incredibly accomplished politician Spencer Pratt was cheated out of a rightful win in Los Angeles. But they're going to make these same claims in November, so we need to carpet bomb this conspiracy out of existence right now.

#DR26 The U.S. democracy is currently in a much faster deterioration process than any other democracy in modern times. Within only one year, the USA’s score on the V-Dem Liberal Democracy index (LDI) has declined by 24 %, from 0.75 in 2024 to 0.57 in 2025. 🧵1(4) #Polisky #PoliSciSky #PolDataSky
Graph showing how fast democracy has declined in the USA compared to five prominent cases of autocratization in the last 25 years. The U.S. line show a sharp drop over just two years, while it took Hungary over four years, Serbia eight years, and both India and Türkiye about a decade and Russia almost 14 years to reach the same total drop.

Humiliation for Trump. As expected, Netanyahu ignored his pleas not to attack Iran. Israel struck Iran several times overnight. Iranian missiles are now en route to Israel.

I had dinner w/pharma people a while ago and asked if they are discussing internally, the collapse of science. The response was “yeah, all the time. But we figure that the pipeline is about a decade long and we’ll have made our money and be retired by the time it completely collapses”. Me: ……………..

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

The Oklahoma governor has been accused of showing “rank political favoritism” to his college friend’s wife after she was sentenced to 8 years for drunk driving and causing an accident that maimed a young woman — but was released with an ankle monitor after having served just 73 days behind bars.

Oklahoma governor accused of ‘political favoritism’ in DUI case
Gov. Kevin Stitt said that while he did call the Corrections Department about Sara Polston’s case, the 73 days she served after she nearly killed a woman was “too short.”

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case
Judge Breyer: Okay. Thank you very much. Juror 96, I think that you also have strong views. Could you set them aside?

Juror 96: I believe that in a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict. However, in a civil trial, I feel I can set those views aside.

Judge Breyer: That’s interesting.

Juror 96: I’m happy to expand.

Judge Breyer: Sure.

Juror 96: I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race were Mr. Musk to be sent to prison. However, I don’t believe a loss of several hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil trial would be even a drop in the bucket to his wealth, so it doesn’t really matter. Therefore, I would be able to consider the facts.
