Striking from new Quinnipiac poll:
*Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33
*Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe
Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

States also need to ensure the secure chain of custody on ballots, tabulators, and memory cards.
ICE intimidation won't stop voters but tampering with equipment will. ICE may be only a diversionary tactic to gain access.
Uncertifiable elections in blue districts is still a victory for Trump.

Trump 'border czar' Tom Homan says 700 immigration officers will be withdrawn from Minnesota immediately.
Roughly 3,000 officers are currently deployed in the state.

The hallmark (the “brand”) of the Washington Post has been accountability journalism. Thus, today’s staff decimation is Bezos’s greatest gift to Trump, so much more valuable than the Melania movie, inauguration money, etc. This disaster began, for real, with the Harris endorsement he killed.

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...
Speaking to WaPo employees, editor Matt Murray says cuts are about “positioning ourselves to become more essential to people's lives, and what is becoming a more crowded, competitive and complicated media landscape, and after some years when, candidly, the Post has had struggles to do that."
