NEW: 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.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

That means it's working! Fascists should have no safe harbor anywhere on the planet! If they are afraid for their lives, they will be much less likely to vote in a way that hurts yours!
Members of Congress are pulling back on outdoor events following the deadly shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk — a sign of widespread fear among elected officials amid the current surge of political violence.
House members pull back outdoor events after Kirk shooting
“You could have lots of individual security and not notice someone laying down on the rooftop," said Oversight Chair James Comer.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence.
What a legacy.

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social this is exactly the rot that props fascism up in America. Dressing Kirk’s hate as ‘the right way’ isn’t analysis—it’s appeasement. Call it what it is: laundering bigotry through polite language. That makes you less a journalist and more a fascist in liberal clothing.
“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”
So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence.
Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.
