A federal judge on Monday blocked a Trump administration voter-screening database, ruling that the government’s “haphazard” system unlawfully consolidated “the private information of millions of Americans” in an effort to purge non-citizens from voter rolls.

In her order, U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said the federal government “has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote.”

      They’ve still got a year and a half

      Primaries are already over and we’re maybe four months out from the general.

      All part of the 2028 plan.

      I’m much more curious to see the 2026 results. If they lose Congress - nevermind flipping state governors and legislatures - it’s going to be a very different ballgame going into 2028

        True, democrats taking Congress would mean at least two strongly worded letters telling trump to stop doing that.

        got a year and a half to bribe the right judges

        I don’t why/how you think the primaries stop bribery. Pretty dishonest quoting to exclude the rest of the sentence.

        Don’t accidentally stan from Trump’s crimes or the broken system.
