#AZ 2026 ballot: 8 propositions, all flawed. They ban nonexistent taxes, defund rural police under cover of grocery-tax cuts, target faith groups helping migrants, regulate bathrooms with no medical exceptions, censor school curricula, threaten early voting. Vote NO on all 8. #ProudBlue #Pinks

Of course Kash Patel wants to hand the UFC a NO-BID contract to train FBI agents. The UFC is a sports entertainment business. The FBI already trains agents in defensive tactics. And we’re supposed to believe Dana White, Trump’s buddy, runs the only organization in America qualified to do this.

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-

detect election fraud. 91 Fed. Reg. 54972. On the other side
of the balance, the plaintiff States invoke the practical ef-

enough to convince me to deny the application.
