a side issue that struck me while reporting on Indiana banning student IDs for voting: how freaking strict Indiana is in tossing ballots when you make an error!
at the sole polling place on campus at IU Bloomington, 300 people cast provisional ballots in November... & every single one was rejected!

Indiana Republicans Move to Ban Student IDs for Voting - Bolts

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Liberals believe in the rule of law. They also believe in the value of biomedical research. They believe there are important and worthwhile things that the government does. They might as well fight for their beliefs. They might even win.

She represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM. Her conflicts of interest alone should have been disqualifying.
