WARNING: Trumpโs 2026 Plan to Weaponize Your Voter Data
YouTube video by Democracy Docket
Lots of people are asking me why DOJ is leveraging the ICE deployment in Minnesota to obtain unreacted copies of the state's sensitive voter file data. I recently explained why this is the biggest legal story and may be the biggest political story of the year.
Watch and share.

Trump vows no SNAP payments until Democrats cave on shutdown โข Pennsylvania Capital-Star
President Donald Trump backtracked Tuesday on a pledge by his administration in court filings to partially fund November food assistance during the government shutdown.
It was not immediately clear what effect Trumpโs declaration that he would refuse to provide food aid would have on benefits that usually are provided to some 42 million Americans (two million in Pa.) and, at the moment, are shut off pending the partial payments.
