Elon Musk-founded PAC reprimanded by Georgia State Election Board for sending pre-filled absentee ballot applications in 2024 Counties that flagged the issue and were mentioned in the case included Chattooga, Cherokee, Coweta, Floyd and Whitfield.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

The US government keeps using dangerous chemicals on protesters Civilians, children, and even the agents themselves are at risk.

All that gas you keep seeing federal agents use against protesters? Yeah, it's quite dangerous.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

LOL. The only problem with this argument is that Trump stole the classified documents. Georgia didn't steal anything. Can't wait to see what the judge says about this.

The first step to dealing with Trumpism is to ignore everything they say and only watch what they do.

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office.

This is looting.

The Trump DOJ defied a court order. What the judge did next should be a blueprint.

DOJ struggles as White House presses on voter fraud Efforts to prosecute noncitizen voters have been slowed by lack of evidence, officials say, while Trump aides push for a broader crackdown.

The Justice Department has struggled to meet White House demands to prosecute noncitizen voters as President Trump’s claims of voter fraud lack legal support.

Efforts to investigate have yielded few results, with investigations closing without charges.
