🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

The main negative response I've seen towards the excitement over this Louisiana US Senate race is "He WonT WIn AnYwAY!" I find it annoying because voters in this state haven't had much to be excited about in years, and change starts with people believing that change is possible in the first place!!

🚨NEW STORY🚨 Farmer Jamie Davis is closing the gap as he bids to be Louisiana’s first Black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction, leaving Julia Letlow without the sure victory Republicans had hoped for. "This is not going to be a slam dunk," a pollster warns. thelensnola.org/2026/10/23/j...

Eric Bauza, the award-winning voice actor whose performances of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and many more characters made him the modern voice of Looney Tunes, has died. He was 46. https://to.pbs.org/4BzFzjB

Why am I more surprised that poor woman was 24 than any other aspect of it?

Big news: Court finds Maurene Comey's termination was unlawful and violated her rights under the Civil Service Reform Act, grants reinstatement and backpay. It's a strong and welcome punch in the nose to a bully. I'll be doing a longer youtube on it shortly at youtube.com@talkingfeds

It is a pretty good line, ngl.

This appeal move is working against DOJ, giving a chance for these arguments to be obliterated. "My name is Gabriel Sanchez," Judge Sanchez says, noting hw many Gabriel Sanchez's there likely are in Los Angeles County.

At the Ninth Circuit in a rare Sunday argument over the request for an injunction pending appeal, Bennett says this US v. CA TRO situation is "far, far, far different than A.A.R.P. ... I don't see how we have jurisdiction." Oral argument here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIrq...

DOJ has now quoted SCOTUS's statement in a case over a court's inaction in a lawsuit challenging the Trump admin's efforts to rush-deport people under the Alien Enemies Act — when people could have been sent to CECOT without process — as a justification for its appeal here.

HAPPENING NOW: 9th Circuit Oral Arguments on DOJ's lawsuit against California voters. DOJ is arguing that there is massive amounts of non-citizens voting, and the harm is irreparable because once the ballot is separated from its envelope, you can't trace it to the voter. 1/

Wait wait! In addition to all this: Real Clear isn’t some spontaneous thing, it’s a rightwing site funded by the same far-right billionaires - Koch, Uihlein, Bradley, etc - that want to tear down the govt, incl to destroy US cancer research. Real Clear is part of the Project 2025 effort.

So in a huge surprise to absolutely no one, it turns out that NIH director Jay Bhattacharya's new journal based on the premise of letting his friends and only his friends publish essentially whatever they want is full of crackpot nonsense from retired cranks.

Save your apologies. You do so much as dip a toe in that water, you can't complain when you get splashed with sewage. You being there in regalia as an official of the church, you are giving tacit consent to everything he does.

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"
