> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > “State attorney generals that are Republican have to authorize raids” . . . umm Charlie those were not ““raids”” they were executing search warrants. Maybe you should read up on that? I’m kind of hoping that some of them try. Watching “100” raids be denied because the judges keep pointing out that there’s no probable cause for a search warrant will be the icing on the cake that is the Trump search warrant. ---

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas’ elections director says the state will go along with a request for a hand recount of votes from every county after last week’s decisive statewide vote affirming abortion rights, even though there was a 165,000-vote difference and a recount won’t change the result. > **[Kansas to recount abortion vote by hand, despite big margin](https://apnews.com/article/kansas-to-recount-abortion-vote-by-hand-despite-big-margin-d303e1d4275ce6dc8730b9102ab820a9)** > > TOPEKA, Kan.

At least they have to pay for it. CO’s recount cost Tina Peters $250k. For nothing. That’s expensive performance art. ---

Every penny grifted from the haters is taken from Oranganus and his political supporters. Hell, there should be punitive damages assessed for wasting time and resources that could go into education, health care, infrastructure; you know, actual stuff. ---

If I were the FBI director, I would tell my agents, “Anybody harassing you or your family, you are authorized to consider these people armed and dangerous until proven otherwise.” Let’s see how mouthy they are after a few more Ashli Babbets. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > On Thursday, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to rage against the Lincoln Project, and take a swipe at Fox News for airing one of their ads. > > “Why does Fox put them on?” Trump wrote. “The perverts of the Lincoln Project were ‘run out of town’ after it was learned that they did some really ‘bad stuff.’ Perversion anyone? Now they have re-emerged with a different but similar name. Keep these sicko’s off television!” Is it possible he’s conflating the Lincoln Project with the [Log Cabin Republicans](https://logcabin.org/about-us/our-history/)? Does he perhaps believe that the Republican group supporting LGBT+ rights somehow changed into the Lincoln Project? I haven’t looked into it, but are there any connections between the two groups, other than they’re both minority voices among Republicans? ---
