James Talarico Accuses Ken Paxton of Committing Voter Fraud — ProPublica
James Talarico’s comments come after ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found that the Texas attorney general may have broken state law by voting using an address where he no longer appears to live.Zach Despart (ProPublica)
Goddamn this muther f⁕⚠︎er 🤬🤬🤬
#Trump ordered new signs outside a #Smithsonian #museum that warn its depiction of #UShistory is "inaccurate."
Trump claimed the signage at the National Museum of #AmericanHistory would correct what a disputed White House report described as “extreme political activism.”
NO! Your initially #insane brain that has clearly succumbed to #dementia is HELLA wrong you #billionaire #racist #misogynist!
F⁕⚠︎ you!
The #Trump admin also pushed #Canada & #Mexico to adopt a prohibition on imports made by forced labor as part of prior #trade negotiations, & 10 other countries have committed to bans as part of trade deals negotiated over the past year, a senior admin official said.
But critics say the #US, too, has shortfalls on its labor protections. And some say that the admin has seized on forced labor as merely the most convenient way to reimpose #tariffs struck down by #SCOTUS [ya think?].
The #US has arguably the strongest restrictions on forced labor imports of any country. It has prohibited the importation of goods made with #SlaveLabor for nearly a century, though it still allows #PrisonLabor under conditions that labor organizations consider coercive. In 2021, under Biden, the US passed a #law banning imports from a region of China where it had found forced labor to be rampant.
#Canada, which will be subject to a 10% tariff under the arrangement, already prohibits importing forced labor goods. The #EU, also at 10%, has a ban that is scheduled to take effect in December 2027. But #Trump officials say that the governments have not effectively enforced those laws [like they actually care].
The duties will be issued under Section 301 of the #Trade Act of 1974, which allows a president to impose #tariffs on foreign countries that engage in unreasonable or discriminatory trade practices. The #Trump admin has cited the failure of foreign countries to pass or enforce laws banning the importation of goods made by forced labor into their own countries, saying that disadvantages US businesses that do follow such laws.
The move provides fresh evidence of Trump’s intention to transform #GlobalTrade, despite numerous #court challenges & the protests of #US #consumers & businesses that have been stuck with higher #tax bills. Over the past 17 months, the #Trump admin has cycled through #trade #law after trade law as it tries to build a system to shield the US #economy from foreign #competition [it’s called a #FreeMarket, pretty freaking American]
What does the #law mean to a #criminal?
#Trump will impose #tariffs of around 10% on goods from >80 countries Friday, its latest effort to put in place an expansive protectionist policy that has been repeatedly challenged in #court.
The tariffs will range from 10% to 12.5% & take effect at 12:01AM Friday, replacing a global 10% duty set to lapse at the same time. Trump issued that earlier tariff in February, after #SCOTUS struck down duties he imposed last year.

#Trump is going to have a field day with this —
Roughly 400 #noncitizens voted in #NewJersey after about 6,600 residents were improperly registered to vote between June 2023 & June 2024 because of a software error at the #DMV, Gov #MikieSherrill announced Tuesday.
ALL of the people affected had disclosed that they were not citizens when registering for either a driver’s license or ID, but were nonetheless placed on the voter rolls in error.

#Trump says #ABC, #NBC licenses should be revoked over refusal to air speech on “election integrity”
Trump claimed without evidence that ABC & NBC declined to cover the speech because they were complicit in a larger fraud.
“They & others in the media are part of a plot. They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason. They want to keep it going. They want to protect the radical left,” he said.

Emails Show #ToddBlanche Role in #Trump #Retribution Campaign
…Blanche, a methodical fmr federal prosecutor, created an organizational plan for the weaponization group that assigned key investigative lanes to some of his own deputies. That ensured…that he had tight control over one of the most sensitive issues on his plate — demands from Trump & his supporters to identify, investigate & punish those who had once pursued them.
Trump said Wednesday that #ICE should continue traffic stops after 2 deadly #shootings in 1 week, contradicting new policy to halt them. To remove criminals from the country, “we CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!” Trump posted on social media.

UK is close to finallsing a law that would criminalise publishing any information provided by ”state threats”.
This would likely concern for example Hamas or Hezbollah, which publish civilian casualty numbers that journalists rely on, because Israel’s numbers are pure propaganda.
Should this become law, a journalist could then face up to 14 years in prison for publishing it.
Sounds a lot like Russia, doesn’t it?

#Antifa, short for “anti-fascist,” is a decentralized movement without a clear command structure or leader, reflecting a range of ideologies mostly on the political left, from anarchism to communism & everything in between. Unlike left-wing extremist groups of the 1960s & 1970s, such as Weather Underground, antifa does not issue manifestos or claim responsibility for actions.

That led to a criminal investigation that culminated last month in lengthy prison sentences given to several members of what prosecutors called an “antifa cell” — one defendant received 100 years — for their roles last summer in a protest outside an #ICE facility in Texas during which a police officer was shot. The person sentenced to 100 years was convicted of attempted murder.
