*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

I've been meaning to do a post, but all these pressers violate DOJ's pre-election rules, which Todd Blanche swore were sacrosanct when he represented someone charged over a year before an election.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

These facts are VERY similar to the case of Mohamed Jama in MN. They were looking for a 5'5" guy and snatched Jama, who is 6'5" (his lawyer did a big Perry Mason moment to have him stand in the court room). These rulings may help the victims sue.

Karl Rove hasn't made a weekday Fox appearance since September 14. Trump condemned that interview, and Rove's WSJ piece condemning Bo French came out two days later. Fox benched him -- but why? www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/why...

A new lawsuit by journalist @bubbaprog.xyz shows the DOJ secretly searched his digital accounts for a wide range of materials. And prosecutors failed to tell judges about a federal law protecting the press from search warrants… again.

I hope someone smarter than me writes about piece for the youngs who may not know this, but Karl Rove's was the last real bid for immigration reform. He knew if the GOP locked up Latino support, they'd run the country. Yet here we are and he's speaking AGAINST GOP in his owns state bc of racism.

I think the framing of this -- the polarization is not the problem -- is counterproductive, but it is a good read. Reason I say it is counterproductive is that Trump has used polarization to get normie Republicans to vote w/30% of rabid racists. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

Across Western democracies, the average social attitudes of voters
in political parties across the spectrum have been changing along with
the framework of expanding political rights.25 Far-right parties all over
the world are working to undo that progress, and in places where they
succeed, partisan animosity increases.26 To restore a functioning and
pluralistic democracy in the United States, reversing over a decade of
democratic backsliding in the world’s oldest democracy, the thing to
“fix” is not polarization. Polarization is the country’s immune response
to an unpopular, antidemocratic, and intentionally divisive faction grabbing for disproportionate power to the detriment of national success,
reputation, and democratic self-government. Tamping down that immune response only allows this minority faction to have greater control.

If we're going to denaturalize and deport people for sex trafficking they hid on their citizenship applications, is there a reason this would not apply to Ghislaine Maxwell?

CHILD SEX ABUSER’S CITIZENSHIP REVOKED AFTER NATURALIZATION FRAUD CONVICTION

Cyril Domaquik Clemens, a Liberian native, was convicted of three counts of indecent liberties with a child after confessing to sexually molesting a young child.

The abuse began before he naturalized, but he concealed it during the citizenship process, fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship.

Just to be clear, this isn't much different from what he wrote in Dobbs. To which Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan aptly responded: "This is to ignore as judges what we know as men and women. The interests women have in Roe and Casey are perfectly, viscerally concrete." [2]
