Trump’s new EO reshapes fed. voting rules—mandating proof of citizenship, penalizing states for late mail-in ballots & centralizing voter list maintenance. The order bypasses Congress & is already triggering lawsuits. In election administration, confusion is a killer. Read more from Stephen Richer.

Trump's executive order on voting seems to ignore a lot of law
The process of governance matters, but the president pretends we don't have a Congress and rides roughshod over the states.

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

A federal judge DENIED the Trump admin's bid to vacate a 5 p.m. hearing probing whether they violated his order to turn back the flights to El Salvador. Trump DOJ's top ranks claimed no hearing was necessary because they denied a violation.
 MINUTE ORDER: The Court ORDERS that Defendants' 24 Motion to Vacate is DENIED. The hearing will proceed as scheduled. So ORDERED by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg on 3/17/2025. (lcjeb1)

It's just unreal projection that the conspiracy theory of the day is that Biden was too senile to issue pardons, as Trump demonstrates he has no idea what's happening with the rehiring of federal workers fired by his mini-me president.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Lol. Donald Trump has cost Canada’s Conservative Party 26 points in just 6 weeks.
OTTAWA, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Canada's ruling Liberals, who a few weeks ago looked certain to lose an election this year, are mounting a major comeback amid the threat of U.S. tariffs and are tied with their rival Conservatives, according to three new polls.
An Ipsos survey released late on Tuesday showed the left-leaning Liberals have 38% public support and the official opposition right-of-center Conservatives have 36%. The Liberals have overturned a 26-point deficit in six weeks, and run advertisements comparing the Conservative leader to Trump.
