Excellent source - Democracy Docket. Was getting almost-daily notifications from them - need to set that up again. The DOJ’s embarrassingly stupid hunts for voter registration data have further devolved, making DOGE look like some well-oiled machine. From second story down in that link: > [@](#): > > At least eight states led by GOP election chiefs have so far refused the DOJ’s demands to hand over its unredacted voter rolls. And, I believe, 23 blue states. ---

What’s the big deal about Trump family weddings/divorces/ philandering? I’d skip all of them; actually I’m old enough to have glossed over them all. Seems the old guy can’t be bothered either. ---

Seems the old guy can’t be bothered either. To paraphrase a line from the sitcom _The Middle_: “It’s no big deal if Trump misses his son’s wedding. He can go to the next one.” 😉 ---

My cousin T.K. was married repeatedly, and the story goes that two of his college friends were discussing whether or not they would go to his upcoming nuptials. “Nah,” one chum said, “I only go to his even-numbered weddings.” ---

In the pic, it almost looks like Donald’s kid (can’t remember their names) has had his eyes transposed with Kash Patel’s. Funniest picture ever. ---

> [@kambuckta](#): > > In the pic, it almost looks like Donald’s kid (can’t remember their names) has had his eyes transposed with Kash Patel’s He’s usually kind of droopy-eyed, so I suspect this is what happens when he tries to look “normal” for the photo. He’s probably thinking something like, “I’m awake! See? Look how ‘awake’ I look. Can they tell? Maybe I should open my eyes even more…” ---
