Trump’s new EO reshapes fed. voting rules—mandating proof of citizenship, penalizing states for late mail-in ballots & centralizing voter list maintenance. The order bypasses Congress & is already triggering lawsuits. In election administration, confusion is a killer. Read more from Stephen Richer.
Trump's executive order on voting seems to ignore a lot of law
The process of governance matters, but the president pretends we don't have a Congress and rides roughshod over the states.

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
For four Venezuelan friends, Alien Enemies Act cuts short an American dream
President Donald Trump used the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans accused of being gang members. Relatives of men sent to El Salvador deny the allegation.

A federal judge DENIED the Trump admin's bid to vacate a 5 p.m. hearing probing whether they violated his order to turn back the flights to El Salvador.

Trump DOJ's top ranks claimed no hearing was necessary because they denied a violation.

It's just unreal projection that the conspiracy theory of the day is that Biden was too senile to issue pardons, as Trump demonstrates he has no idea what's happening with the rehiring of federal workers fired by his mini-me president.
Q: Are you going to comply with the judge's order regarding rehiring the federal workers?

TRUMP: What are you talking about?

Q: The judge that ruled the govt has to rehire the fired federal workers. Do you plan to comply?

TRUMP: That's a very dangerous decision for our country

A strong statement from the head of Voice of America, who points out that Trump‘s move to silence this important journalistic entity will help the tyrannical governments of Russia, China, Iran, and other repressive states. This is not America First; this is the abandonment of democracy.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

This current Social Security riff by Trump is completely debunked 100% total made-up BS. No president has EVER lied this baldly from the podium. And Vance, Johnson, and the whole GOP just nod and go along with it.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

When Trump declared that the "age of rule by unelected bureaucrats is over!" Democrats audibly laughed and many pointed in Elon Musk's direction.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.

The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.

Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries
Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.

If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP

Meanwhile, here's the kind of thing elected Republicans who know better have been up to lately
I’ll never get over what Sen. Thom Tillis did to Danielle Hegseth.

He promised her that if she went public against an abuser, it would make a difference.

She did. But Tillis himself cast the DECIDING vote to confirm Pete Hegseth.

He’s running for reelection in 26. What are we gonna do about him?

When you take a step back, it’s genuinely stunning how far any of this is from anything Trump campaigned on. It aligns perfectly w Project 2025 of course, but in terms of Trump’s public rhetoric, this was totally absent.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Andrew and Tristan Tate, the online influencers, are facing investigations in Romania and Britain, including accusations of human trafficking and sex crimes.
