When the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) rejected a Florida county’s mail ballot envelope design, it inadvertently offered a test case for just how disruptive President Donald Trump’s efforts to restrict mail voting could be this November. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Disinformation has disastrous consequences. Justice Alito’s reliance on faulty data led Callais ruling, dismantling of the Voting Rights Act and making it harder for millions of Americans - particularly Black Americans - to make their voices count. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SCOTUS used faulty racial voter turnout data to shred Voting Rights Act in recent ruling
The ruling that upended the Voting Rights Act was based in part on a false data analysis about Black and white voter turnout.

This will sound very nerdy, but when I was a kid, I revered the Supreme Court. If they could rule unanimously against segregation in 1954—when the two other branches of government would *never* have been brave enough—I thought they're the lone voice of good. That is all trashed now. They're garbage.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

I don't know how many times we will be told by the legacy media that Trump is moderating or backing off only to then see he is worse than ever. He is an authoritarian. He enjoys the cruelty. And the first thing he had Pam Bondi do after the shooting was to try to leverage it to get the voter files.
