Much-needed in-depth look by @ericcolumbus.bsky.social on the Trump administration’s attempts to force states to hand over their voter rolls. /1
Since last May, the Department of Justice requested the voter rolls of every state and the D.C. and sued the 29 states that did not hand them over. @ericcolumbus.bsky.social looks at why the Trump administration wants the voter rolls and how courts have responded to the requests so far.

Ni hao — hello — Mei Lan! Chinese zookeepers are advertising for a tutor to teach Chinese to an American-born giant panda arriving this week in her parents' homeland.
Ground stops at DC-area airports for the second time in two weeks due to evacuation of a regional air traffic control facility (both times). What’s going on?
The Senate voted last night to reopen DHS. The bill doesn’t include funding for ICE and CBP, but they’re already funded by OBBBA. House Dems support the Senate bill. House GOP leadership says no. But Trump could flip them with one phone call!
Putting his name on the money right before midterms is just another example of the extent to which Trump just can't keep out of his own way this time around.
It brings him no new support, turns normies against him, reinforces an already ascendant narrative that's toxic to his brand.
By the way, the Calgary Zoo had to hire a French-speaking trainer to help a polar bear from Quebec zoo who doesn’t understand English.

It’s fascinating that the young folks at CPAC use “J-pilled” to describe “skepticism of Israeli influence.” I guess the J must stand for “Jisrael”!

The Calgary Zoo/Wilder Insitute’s efforts to welcome its newest addition include something most zoos don’t usually use: a translator.
Why the Department of Justice is demanding state voter registration lists, why most states are resisting, and the court battles so far.
1/2 This memo identifies absolutely no source of legal authority for paying TSA. It does not point to an appropriation that is available for this purpose, nor does it point to any legal authority to transfer some other appropriation to TSA. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
I find this whole thing fascinating because the underlying assumption here is that learning language is not hard, just work. And that appears to be kind of true for some huge swath of the population but not everyone.
