Arizona ballot initiative would enshrine mail-in voting in state constitution A new Arizona initiative would permanently write early and mail-in voting into the state constitution.

Organizers in Arizona are gathering signatures for a constitutional amendment that would enshrine the right to vote *by mail*.

This has long been a very popular option in AZ, but Republicans want to sharply curtail it.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

I doubt this gets much coverage on Fox, or from Trump. No Somali-Americans to blame.

Welfare Scandal Mastermind Sought to Woo DiBiase Brothers as He Directed Millions to Wrestlers The odd relationship between the mastermind of the Mississippi welfare scandal and two ex-wrestlers was on display in Ted DiBiase Jr.’s trial.

John Davis' relationship with Teddy DiBiase and Brett DiBiase (both of whom he was directing welfare funds toward) was really, really, really weird.

He denies that his feelings toward the DiBiase brothers was sexual in nature, but... well, just read the texts in this story:

Ted DiBiase Jr. Delivered One List in Exchange for $3.2 Million in Welfare, Witnesses Testify Former nonprofit operator Christi Webb testified she was ordered to pay millions of dollars in welfare funds to Ted DiBiase Jr.

When Christi Webb tried to cut off the flow of millions in welfare funds to ex-pro wrestler Teddy DiBiase, Mississippi welfare chief John Davis called her crying, she testified.

“‘The only way I can have friends is to give them money. He’s got to keep getting this money,’" she recalled him saying.

NEW: A fundraising email from President Donald Trump’s political action committee has a provocative pitch: using an image from Saturday’s dignified transfer honoring six fallen US soldiers, it promises access to the president’s “private national security briefings.”

This is a cliff on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

It's about 1 km tall.

If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.

Federal Judge blocks subpoenas against Fed Chair citing “ zero evidence”

WTAF? Is he saying that he is providing govt with technology that is intended to harm the Democratic party's voters, especially American women & Americans w college degree to help Republican party voters?

Is that what Palantir doing for the Trump administration? Why would anyone invest in that?

UFC Fighters to Train FBI Agents in ‘Historic Seminar’ This Week: We’ll ‘Be Even Better Prepared to Protect the American People,’ Kash Patel Says UFC fighters will head to Quantico, Va. this week to train FBI agents and students in what FBI director Kash Patel is calling a "historic seminar."

What a joke. FBI agents are not street brawlers. They interview witnesses, uncover documents, analyze intelligence, and testify in court, usually while wearing a suit and tie. Just one more frolic for Kash at taxpayer expense.

This is Andrew Davis, who Trump nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.

The judiciary committee already advanced his nomination to the Senate floor on a party-line vote.

Now he just awaits final confirmation by the full Senate, timing TBD.

The chaos across multiple airports is a totally unnecessary Republican-created problem. Dems have proposed funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, yet Republicans – who hold a majority in both the House and Senate – continue to hold these agencies hostage in order to get more funding for ICE.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.

Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…”

Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.
