Disabled voters have to jump through multiple hoops to vote in California. A judge's ruling just made it a little easier.

California’s mail ballot system excludes disabled voters, court rules
Requiring people with print disabilities to obtain assistance to vote “denies them meaningful access to the vote by mail program,” a federal judge wrote.

Troy Jackson: "As late as 2024, the FBI was circling around Sen. Collins ... then when President Trump came back, his administration dismantled the investigation. Now she votes with Donald Trump 96% of the time. Look, I don't owe Donald Trump nothing."

At exactly 0 times in my entire adult life have Democrats in Congress done what's actually necessary to hold Republicans accountable. I'm hoping this streak will be broken starting in January. But it's easy to see why Republicans think they can just keep getting away with it.

Trump seeks to label Democrats as communists, but he was the one who rolled out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping and kissed his ass. He is clearly Putin’s comrade and buying government stakes in private companies, so why aren’t more people calling out this bullshit? #ComradeTrump

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

Really puts the NYT story claiming ICE officials heroically pulled third-country nationals off deportation planes to comply with the court order in perspective. ICE deported people to Haiti, Cuba, Ecuador yesterday. And put Somalis who'd been held at Gitmo on a plane to East Africa. What heroism!

Jeez. The court may have stopped some third-country removals at the last second yesterday, but ICE recalibrated quickly. Sept. 24 saw the most ICE flights+removals in the months I've been keeping a daily log. --at least 90 flights --at least 18 removals, including Haiti --plus a stop at Gitmo
