He continues, “If the Executive can discount votes and threaten an ongoing election due to unproven allegations, then our democracy is in danger. This Court declines to be a party to such process.” FIN.

DOJ has every right to enforce the federal criminal statute prohibiting noncitizen voting, Carter notes. But “[e]roded trust in our democracy is irreparable. Once a vote is segregated, lasting harm has occurred.” 3/

But Carter’s real concerns are twofold: the feds have no grounds for interfering with the state’s constitutional right to administer its own elections and to enable them to do so, especially at this hour, would invite chaos and potentially disenfranchise Californians. 2/

NEW: Judge David Carter rejects DOJ’s demand for a court order forcing CA to segregate any mail ballots cast by alleged noncitizen voters, finding the state has no obligation to assume enforcement of federal criminal statutes and that the DHS databases of “likely noncitizens” registered to vote were unreliable in multiple ways. 1/

I made the decision to have Democracy Docket take down its paywall through Election Day. Read it, enjoy it, share it -- all for free. If you want to support this effort, here is how: hubs.ly/Q04CxxVy0

The FBI is redirecting personnel to immigration enforcement while DHS suffers massive security failures. If the goal were to weaken America through data breaches, institutional dysfunction, and eroded public trust, this administration would be following the playbook perfectly.

Well, maybe if they didn’t run around in public wearing masks, committing crimes, and killing U.S. citizens, people wouldn’t be so interested in finding out who they are. Crazy concept, I know: when you act like a criminal, people start wondering what you’re so desperate to hide

Ukraine, @ZelenskyyUa if you’re listening, could you please destroy Russia’s remaining data centers and any government computer labs that you’re aware or. Please.
BREAKING: Russia-linked operatives are reportedly using AI-generated videos, stolen identities, and fabricated accusations to smear Democratic Senate candidates Sherrod Brown in Ohio and James Talarico in Texas just DAYS before the midterms, according to the AP.

40,000 DHS employees. Undercover ICE agents. Names, numbers, offices. ALL LEAKED. This is the agency that put masks on its agents and told you it was about safety. They couldn't secure their own login system. Masks for the public. No lock on the front door. That's not security. That's theater. This….ALL CONFIRMED: NBC, the BBC, Wired, TechCrunch and the Guardian all reported it today.

Cassidy Hutchinson threw away her career to tell the truth. I’m familiar with what that takes. She had everything to lose and nothing to gain. I believed her then, I believe her now, and so do the Americans who just embarrassed the DOJ.

BREAKING: Netanyahu’s far-right coalition is projected to LOSE its parliamentary majority in Israel’s election, with 53 seats for his bloc, 48 for Gadi Eisenkot’s opposition, and a historic 19 for Arab parties. Neither major bloc has the 61 seats needed to govern. After years of war in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, Arab voters have emerged as a potentially decisive force in determining Israel’s next government.

Elon Musk’s AI data centers are so disruptive that his company is offering to buy homes in Mississippi, provided residents agree not to sue over the noise, while denying there is a problem. The reported target? 418 homes. Residents describe sleepless nights from gas turbines. The EPA found the turbines were operating without federally required permits. Earthjustice is suing over the plant’s operation. Republican Gov. Tate Reeves has defended data center expansion as essential to America’s technological competition with China. Meanwhile, residents are left to deal with the consequences. But sure, tell us again how deregulation benefits ordinary Americans. And now you know who benefits when methane regulations are rolled back. 6 days…

Voter: I’m a Republican. I'm an old school Reagan Republican, and I believe personal integrity means things. And so I support people that have good personal integrity, and I like James Talarico. He is the kind of guy we need in office. Q: Not Ken Paxton? Voter: Definitely not Ken Paxton. Like I said, I think we need people with personal integrity. My father taught me personal integrity is what you do when you think nobody's watching, and we know what Mr. Talarico’s opponent will do when nobody's watching. I think we need people that are willing to represent their constituents and not just their donors.

一场滋润万物的春雨,农夫因庄稼受益而喜爱它,行路人却因道路泥泞而厌恶它;一轮明朗的秋月,佳人乐于欣赏,盗贼却恨它照出了自己的行迹。 连“天地”这样滋养万物、普照万物的存在,都无法让所有人满意,总会有人因为自身的处境和立场而心生怨恨,更何况一个普通的人呢?

They used real registered voters’ names without permission, dressed up, and tried to apply for ballots while secretly filming—then posted it to claim the system is insecure. Minnesota law bars intentionally misrepresenting your identity when applying for a ballot. They never cast votes, but that doesn’t erase the identity-theft and unlawful-voting charges. Testing a process isn’t a free pass to impersonate actual people at the polls. The law applies to everyone.
BREAKING: MAGA provocateurs James O’Keefe and Cam Higby have been hit with FELONY charges in Minnesota! They allegedly impersonated REAL voters, dressed up as Muslims and tried to manufacture an election fraud scandal. The irony is absolutely staggering. These are the same people who have spent years screaming about election fraud, and now THEY are the ones facing felony election-related charges. You cannot make this stuff up. Hold them accountable!

The most chillling thing about @VivekGRamaswamy’s atrocity is that by all accounts he still is genuinely baffled at the suggestion that he did anything wrong, or that the episode was in any way morally questionable. It seems that the brains of actual sociopaths really are wired differently.
