BREAKING: Republican lawmakers unveil the Make Elections Great Again Act — a new bill that would impose the most extreme federal voting restrictions in history.

The measure would go beyond the SAVE Act by imposing strict voter ID to vote, mandating voter roll purges, banning mail voting and more.
New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever
The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

BREAKING: Judge Katherine Menendez denies Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul’s request for a TRO or preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration’s Operation Metro Surge on Tenth Amendment grounds.

Background at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/challengin...
In recent weeks, several thousand federal agents have arrived in Minnesota and its two largest cities as part of "Operation Metro Surge," an immigration enforcement campaign. The flood of federal agents has had profound effects on Minnesotans, requiring the State and the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul to respond in many ways. In this case, Plaintiffs (the State of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and Saint Paul), ask the Court to declare that the unprecedented surge of Defendants' agents in Minnesota is unconstitutional and unlawful, and enter an injunction halting Operation Metro Surge. (Dkt. 1 at 76-77.') To that end, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (Dkt. 7), which the Court converted to a motion for a preliminary injunction (Dkt. 21). The Court pauses to observe what it is not deciding. At this stage, the Court makes no final determination on the merits of any claims asserted by Plaintiffs. Nor does the Court offer any opinion about the wisdom of Operation Metro Surge. And the legality of many of the specific actions taken by federal agents during the operation is not before the Court in this case. Instead, the Court only decides whether to grant the extraordinary remedy of a preliminary injunction halting a federal law enforcement operation based upon the Tenth Amendment. In answering this question, the Court must view Plaintiffs' claims through the lens of the specific legal framework they invoke, and, having done so, finds that Plaintiffs have not met their burden. For the reasons discussed below, the motion is denied.

How mild has this winter been in the #pnw? I shot my neighbor Gwen’s daffodils today — the earliest I think I’ve ever seen them in full bloom. It’s 53° out and expected to hit 60° next week. #wawx #FlowersOnFriday

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE:

CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely!

“I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.”

This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Repubs introduce sweeping election legislation, but it’s unlikely to become law
Following Trump’s lead, congressional Repubs unveiled the Make Elections Great Again Act and SAVE America Act, which would require voters to prove citizenship and provide photo ID.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

There is no world, no scenario, no imaginable or unimaginable turn of events under which the Trump Administration will not end up regretting this stupefyingly idiotic arrest.

ICE agents think they’re above the law. They’re not.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social and I just dropped the ICE OUT Act to end their immunity.
