NEW: Since New York tacked an extra fee onto auto insurance bills to help the state combat auto theft and insurance fraud, the fee has multiplied tenfold — from $1 to $10.
But a smaller and smaller proportion of those fees has gone specifically toward addressing fraud and theft.
Confusion caused by changes to polling locations before last week’s Texas primary meant that many citizens couldn’t cast a ballot on Election Day — and studies show that these types of changes typically hit communities of color hardest. bit.ly/4cAul4f

A federal trade-court judge ordered the Trump administration to start refunding the more than $130 billion it collected in the global tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court last month. on.wsj.com/4d3ggwh

"The United States has never postponed or cancelled a federal election—midterm or presidential—due to war. Elections continued as scheduled through major conflicts, including the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. The U.S. Constitution and federal statutes mandate the timing of these elections, which no president has the authority to change."
Basic historical and constitutional facts worth knowing and sharing.

The House passed a bill this week — the SAVE America Act — that "combines a lot of the worst things that Republicans want to do with regards to voting, and it comes at a time when Trump appears dead set to try to interfere in the midterm elections," says @ariberman.bsky.social from @motherjones.com.
A little goodness for your Friday morning. ☀️💕

This is insane. And all of the people who don’t speak English and can’t hire an attorney and advocate for themselves.
