A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Morning after a massive russian attack.
The district where we live is mostly without heating or electricity.
According to the mayor, 1,170 residential high-rise buildings in Kyiv are without heat (we still have a minimal one, but no power).
-19 °C outside.
This is genocide.

Greetings from Kyiv,
where it’s -15 °C (-24…-26 expected tonight).
According to the mayor, about 1,000 high-rise buildings are still without heating.
Ours isn’t among them, the heat is low but at least it’s there.
This is our reality. Ukrainians freezing in their homes.
