Minneapolis residents are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods. Called filter blockades, they’re pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets, and they’ve already earned the ire of Trump border czar Tom Homan (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Everything Trump did with Epstein happened well before he was president
Which means he doesn’t receive immunity, and can potentially be prosecuted for any criminal offense he committed

Ro Khanna: “He absolutely is going to have to testify, & that's why he doesn't want Clinton to testify — you can bet that when we have Chairman Garcia, he's going to call Donald Trump to testify, as he should — he does have answers, that he needs to answer for in terms of what happened with Epstein”

The Save Act requires ID with proof of citizenship in order to vote. The catch is that to prove citizenship, your birth certificate name must match your currently used name. Women who have changed their name will need to have certified marriage certificates. Tracking the papers takes time an $$$.

A cautionary tale of untreated pregnancy-induced diabetes.
What I love about that six word Hemingway story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" is that in those few words we instantly grasp the sadness of what it is trying to tell us: the baby was so freakishly massive when it was born that it could never wear the shoes its parents had bought for it.

If you didn't know, @marcelias.bsky.social has been on the front lines of protecting elections since Trump I (at least). If you, too, want to protect elections, subscribe to Democracy Docket if you can to help keep elections free and fair.
If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.
