EXCLUSIVE: Ten years ago, David Michael Levin was convicted of hacking into government election websites. Now, he appears to have been hired by the Trump DOJ to...wait for it...monitor elections.

Exclusive: Trump DOJ appears to have hired lawyer convicted of hacking election sites to check ‘integrity’
Levin’s involvement in election monitoring could offer a hint of the kind of personnel who will staff the operation this fall, when the DOJ has said it will send 1,000 monitors to the polls.

BREAKING: Bill Cassidy says he’s a YES on Todd Blanche, solidifying his legacy as the man who enabled RFK Jr. to wreak havoc on Americans’ health, and now the man who will let Blanche weaponize the DOJ like never before seen in history and cover up for Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Idk who needs to hear this, but there is no "gender war". Women didn't try to take away men's right to vote, to education, or for property. Women don't write laws that control a man's body. Women didn't built systems that strip men of their any freedoms. This injustice does not go both ways.
