Voting Rights Groups Sue To Stop DOJ From Collecting State Voter Lists

Voting rights groups filed a lawsuit on April 21 seeking to block the Department of Justice (DOJ) from collecting, compiling, and analyzing state voter registration lists.

As of April 1, the DOJ has sued 30 states, including Washington, for failing to turn over voter rolls. The department has said the U.S. attorney general has congressional authority under the Civil Rights Act of 1960 to seek election records from states to check for improper voter registrations.

The groups filed a complaint on April 21, accusing the DOJ of seeking to use the sensitive data to build what they described as a “sprawling new voter surveillance and purging apparatus” without congressional authorization.

The complaint alleges that the department attempted to usurp states’ authority to oversee election administration and impose its own “secretive ’verification procedures’” to identify ineligible voters.

“Never before has a federal agency centralized this volume of Americans’ voting data in a single system of records,” it stated.

“And in doing so, DOJ has flouted statutory safeguards designed to ensure transparency and public participation in the federal government’s collection of Americans’ personal information.”

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by advocacy group Common Cause and four individual members of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

The data requested by the DOJ includes voters’ Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, political party affiliations, and voter participation history, according to the filing.

The groups are seeking a court order requiring the DOJ to delete any voter rolls it has obtained from states and to bar the department from compiling or disclosing voter data.

Harmeet K. Dhillon, assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, said on April 1 that the department has a duty to ensure state compliance with election laws.

New Report From Conservative Think Tank Claims Gavin Newsom Spent a Billion Dollars to Import 400,000 Illegal Aliens

According to a new report from the Manhattan Institute, California Governor Gavin Newsom not only allowed thousands of illegals to pour into his state, he paid a massive amount of money in order for it to happen.

This was done mainly through grants that were given to charities which then turned around and aided in all of this illegal immigration.

These were tax dollars. The people of California essentially paid for this without their consent. Taxpayers should be furious.

Breitbart News reports:

Report: Gov. Newsom Spent $1 Billion to Import 400,000 Extra Illegal Migrants

California Governor Gavin Newsom covertly spent $1 billion importing 400,000 migrants from poor countries to serve the state’s Democratic political machine and elite-dominated economy, according to data provided by the Manhattan Institute in New York.

“Since Newsom took office, California has granted massive contracts for migrant-related services: more than $250 million to Catholic Charities; $85 million to Jewish Family Services; $12 million to Centro Legal de la Raza; $23 million to the Immigration Institute of the Bay Area; and more,” according to an article by Christopher Rufe in City Journal.

The funding is in addition to California’s share of the massive federal funding directed by President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.

The state’s Democratic government also steered $110 million to the major Latino political machine, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles (CHIRLA):

CHIRLA can be described as a one-stop activist machine, with the ability to produce propaganda, engage in legal action, and — most importantly — get people into the streets. The group coordinates the L.A. Rapid Response Network, which tracks ICE raids and takes “direct action to shut down detention centers.” During the wave of protests in L.A., CHIRLA activists agitated on social media, led a street protest, and called for a “Summer of Resistance.”

Newsom has always thought that he is untouchable. That’s why he does things like this without a care in the world.

What ActBlue was doing to our elections makes 2020 look like a cake walk…

Do you trust US elections? The answer to that is probably a resounding “NO!” But even so, the powers that be are constantly talking about how we have such a fair system and to trust the process. They expect you to blindly trust the institutions, just because they say so. But how are people supposed to feel confident when one scandal after another keeps peeling back the ugly layers and showing the rot at the core of it all?

We all know what went down with the ridiculous 2020 election, but beyond that, there’s a new nightmare in town. This time involving piles of foreign money. Thanks to ActBlue’s shenanigans being blown wide open, we’re now faced with the very real possibility that foreign cash was knowingly flowing freely into Dem campaign coffers through one of the biggest fundraising machines in American politics.

ActBlue is on the chopping block, and the evidence coming out right now has everyone asking how a serious country can allow elections to turn into such a cesspool of scandal and lies.

And what makes all of this even worse is that it’s happening while so-called “Republicans” like John Thune seem hell-bent on crushing basic election-security measures like the SAVE Act. So while ordinary Americans are told to sit down, shut up, and stop asking questions, a very ugly picture is starting to take shape around ActBlue, and it deserves a whole lot more attention than it is getting.

When investigative reporter Paul Sperry flagged this blip from a recent Judiciary report, the story immediately grew legs. It points directly to a newly released Congressional report laying out one of the most explosive claims yet in the entire ActBlue mess. And the key line Paul shares isn’t Swamp gossip. This this a line straight from the report, on page 2, where the committees summarize what they believe happened inside ActBlue after the 2024 election.

LIE! Dem Senator Patty Murray Says ‘I’ve Not Heard One Democrat Say Defund ICE’

Democrat Senator Patty Murray of Washington state must have been living under a rock for the last two years because she recently stood before cameras and said with a straight face that she has “not heard one Democrat say defund ICE.”

It’s just amazing how easily these people can lie. The lie and lie and lie. They lie even when they know that you know that they’re lying.

Democrats have even introduced legislation to defund ICE:

Ramirez, Clarke Unveil Legislation to Defund ICE, the Melt ICE Act

Today, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03), joined by Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (NY-09), introduced the Melt ICE Act to end the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) funding to detain or monitor immigrants, disrupt DHS’s immigration enforcement. At a time when working families are facing a crushing affordability crisis, the legislation would also redirect funding toward wrap-around services, including housing and healthcare, for communities affected by immigration enforcement.

The legislation comes amid a national call to rein in ICE funding and as Congress announced an appropriations bill to fund DHS that includes $3.84 billion for ICE custody operations and boosts Enforcement and Removal Operations funding to $5.45 billion.

“After handing more than $150B to DHS immigration enforcement, there are those in Congress who would further expand DHS’s budget and ICE’s capacity to enact Trump’s mass deportation agenda. But we have seen what DHS can do with its unlimited resources and unchecked power. And we are saying enough,” said Congresswoman Ramirez. “Our tax dollars must not be used to terrorize our communities and violate our rights. The Melt ICE Act is a line in the sand and a declaration that we will not fuel human suffering. I am proud to join Congresswoman Clarke and advocates to send a message that we do not consent, nor will we enable DHS and ICE’s lawlessness.”

Murray’s lie is so insulting and just so typical of Democrats.

DOJ Must Release ALL Epstein Files or Face Criminal Liability, Rep. Massie Warns

Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche must release every single page of the Epstein files or become “criminally liable for failure to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” U.S. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY), who sponsored the law, said in an exclusive interview with Alex Newman for The New American’s Behind The Deep State.

The clock is now ticking. Former AG Pam Bondi clearly failed in her duty. Now it is Blanche’s turn, though he has so far resisted further disclosures as well.

If Americans do not obtain the files and the justice system continues to fail in holding the criminals accountable, the Deep State and the “Epstein class” of billionaires and swamp dwellers win again, continued Rep. Massie.

Massie, perhaps the leading champion for transparency and accountability regarding the Epstein scandal in Congress, vowed to keep fighting to see that his legislation signed into law by Trump is honored.

Known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it demands the full release of all files relating to Epstein’s criminal cabal, with redactions permitted only to protect victims. Enormous amounts of files are still being hidden by DOJ, he said.

Despite enormous pressure from Republicans and Democrats of the “uniparty” to dismiss the scandal as a “hoax” and just move on, Massie is doubling down.

“Until we get justice for the victims, I will not go away, and this issue will not go away,” he explained. “If I lose my reelection over this, it was worth it.”

Where did the left’s anti-Trump protest army go?

The New York Times decided to ask the million-dollar question that’s really bothering the left: if Trump’s supposedly so dangerous, such a Nazi, and such a threat to precious democracy, then where are all the young protesters? Where’s the big student revolt? Where’s the powerful, neverending “resist” energy?

And while they were trying to answer this big question, they ended up admitting something much bigger. What they actually ended up describing was a total collapse inside the youth culture the left worked so hard to build… a culture of doom scrolling, government dependency, social fragility, and complete helplessness. The NYT wanted to write a piece mourning the absence of anti-Trump activism. But what they actually did was accidentally confess about checked-out young people when it comes to anti-Trump angst.

Right out of the gate, the NYT admits the core problem. The country is supposedly ripe for anti-Trump activism, and yet the youth uprising the left keeps waiting for is nowhere to be found.

New York Times:

Today, the United States would appear ripe for a resurgence of student activism, beyond the flourishing of pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus in 2023 and 2024 in particular.

We have a president who has directly attacked the finances and the intellectual freedom of colleges and universities, is building the technology for a surveillance state, undermines free and fair elections and took the nation into an unjustified war with no explanation while causing domestic economic havoc.

But one ingredient is missing: a substantial anti-Trump youth movement.

Even after piling on every standard anti-Trump talking point they could think of, the NYT still has to admit the movement isn’t showing up. Clearly, that shows the problem isn’t a lack of messaging. It’s the people they expected to flood the streets who have been shaped into an army of lazy, uninspired layabouts.

And here’s where the panic shows up.

NYT:

Dana Fisher, a professor in the School of International Service at American University, tracks the demographics of participants in major anti-Trump demonstrations. In a phone interview, I asked what she had found about the mobilization of students and younger men and women.

She replied, “We’re not seeing them in the streets at No Kings events.”

She provided the following data about the three No Kings protests: “At No Kings 1 (June 14, 2025) the median age was 36, at No Kings 2 (Oct. 18, 2025) the median age was 44, and at No Kings 3 (March 28, 2026) it was 48. Clearly, it’s getting older.”

The participants in the initial No Kings Day demonstrations, Fisher wrote, were “predominantly white, highly educated, female and middle-aged.”

Yikes, that’s brutal. That is brutal, and it probably says more than the NYT wanted to. Basically, the big anti-Trump resistance is aging out. The elites who spent years insisting the kids were the future now have to face the fact that young people have checked out of politics.

REPORT: Thousands of People in California Are Finally Getting Permits to Rebuild After the Wildfires – Now That Trump Has Gotten Involved

Now that Trump has decided to intervene in the California rebuild process, thousands of wildfire victims in the Pacific Palisades and other areas are finally getting permits to rebuild.

Trump should not have had to do even do this but these people are probably very happy that he did.

Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass should be ashamed of themselves. These fires happened well over a year ago and these poor people in California are STILL waiting for permission to rebuild their homes.

What an embarrassing display of incompetence.

They should have allowed Trump to oversee this from day one.

The New York Post reports:

Thousands of Palisades and Eaton fire rebuilding permits approved after Trump’s executive order

President Trump’s executive order to fast-track the rebuilding of Los Angeles after the wildfires has resulted in almost 2,000 permits approved since it was signed in January, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Trump’s order let state and local rules be preempted when it came to obtaining permits and allowed builders to “self-certify” that they have complied with “substantive health, safety and building standards.”

The result of the administration’s take over was the approval of thousands of permits for people to begin the rebuilding process of homes and businesses ravaged by the January 2025 Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the most destructive blazes in LA history.

“President Trump’s January Executive Order was a bold move to break through the non-federal logjams that had held up lives, homes, and entire neighborhoods from being rebuilt. Since that EO, we’ve helped drive nearly 2,000 permit approvals,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told The Post.

Los Angeles County has issued 971 permits since executive order was signed – which is a 72% increase – and Los Angeles City has issued 961 permits since then – a 58% increase, the EPA revealed to The Post.

Trump tasked EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin with carrying out the order as it was the Environmental Protection Agency that cleaned up all the hazardous materials left in the wake of the deadly blaze.

Supreme Court Declines Appeal in Andrew Cuomo’s COVID Nursing Home Lawsuit

The Supreme Court of the United States has declined to hear a wrongful death lawsuit filed against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, effectively ending a legal challenge tied to the state’s COVID-era nursing home policies, as reported by Fox News.

The case was brought by Brooklyn resident Daniel Arbeeny, who alleged that Cuomo’s pandemic directives contributed to the 2020 death of his father, Norman Arbeeny, at age 89. The elder Arbeeny had been released from a Cobble Hill nursing home where COVID-positive patients had been housed.

According to court records, Arbeeny sued Cuomo and then-health commissioner Howard Zucker under federal civil rights law and a state wrongful death statute. The lawsuit argued that policies requiring nursing homes to accept patients returning from hospitals, regardless of COVID-19 status, played a role in fatalities among vulnerable residents.

A lower federal court dismissed the case on qualified immunity grounds, a legal doctrine that generally protects government officials from liability for actions taken in their official roles. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that dismissal, and the Supreme Court’s decision not to take the case leaves those rulings in place.

Two Iranian Women in ICE Detention Are Not, In Fact, Related to Qasem Soleimani, Documents Show

Two Iranian women remain in immigration detention, arrested earlier this month on accusations of being the niece and grandniece of Qasem Soleimani, despite no connection to the late Iranian military commander. Drop Site reviewed Iranian birth records, identification papers, a family will, and other personal documents and found no connection whatsoever to him or his extended family. One of the women is now seriously ill in a Texas facility, her chronic blood condition left effectively untreated.

On March 8, right-wing activist Laura Loomer posted on X calling for the deportation of a woman she claimed was Soleimani’s niece. The commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Maj. Gen. Soleimani was assassinated by a U.S. drone strike, ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump, in Baghdad on January 3, 2020. The day after Loomer’s original post, she tagged Secretary of State Marco Rubio on X, claiming to have reported the woman to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for “posting content sympathetic to the Iranian regime and Ayatollah.”

On April 3, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter, Sarina Hosseiny, were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at their home outside Los Angeles. Rubio issued a statement headlined, “Secretary Rubio Revokes Green Cards of Foreign Nationals with Ties to Iranian Terror Regime,” identifying them as “the niece and grand niece of deceased Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani” and describing them as “green card holders living lavishly in the United States.”

The claims made headline news in the U.S., while triggering immediate denials from Soleimani’s family that the two women were relatives of the military commander. The Trump administration has gone largely quiet about the women’s cases since their arrest, as they remain in ICE detention pending deportation to Iran.

As attention has faded, the situation for the women has turned dire at the South Texas ICE Processing Center in San Antonio, particularly for Hamideh, 47, who lives with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, which requires regular treatment and blood transfusions she isn’t getting.

Read the chilling texts UFO-linked scientist sent before being found dead that raise major questions over suicide ruling

The deaths and disappearances of eleven top scientists have mystified the nation, with President Donald Trump and senior members of Congress demanding answers and vowing to uncover whether the cases are connected.

Now, chilling claims have come to light about the death of Amy Eskridge, a 34-year-old researcher working on anti-gravity technology, who was found with a gunshot to the head.

She died in Huntsville, Alabama, on June 11, 2022, and her death was ruled a suicide. But four years on, newly uncovered text messages raise chilling questions about what really happened.

Franc Milburn, a retired British paratrooper and intelligence officer who claims to have been in contact with Eskridge before her death, shared messages he says she sent him. 

One dated May 13, 2022, read: ‘If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not.’

Milburn told the Daily Mail that Eskridge – as well as some of her colleagues involved in advanced propulsion and energy research – had been subjected to what he described as a sustained campaign of harassment and intimidation designed to derail their work.

He also said he spoke with the young scientist just four hours before her death and noticed nothing unusual.

‘She said, “Everything’s fine, Franc, I’m feeling okay.” She sent me, and others, emails and LinkedIn messages saying, ‘If anything happens to me – suicide or an accident – it wasn’t, it’s suspicious, treat it as such,’ Milburn claimed.

Eskridge also purportedly told Milburn she believed she had been the target of repeated physical and psychological attacks – claims he says he documented and is now making public.
