A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections,
part of which sought to require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote.
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper in Boston effectively converts a preliminary injunction she issued a year ago,
in which she temporarily blocked many of Trump’s efforts to overhaul elections, into a permanent ban…

Federal judge bars Trump from proof of citizenship requirement to vote
A federal judge has permanently barred President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections. His order included provisions that would have required people to show documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and prevented mail ballots from counting if they are received after Election Day. The ruling on Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper effectively makes permanent a preliminary order she issued a year ago. Casper ag…

Content warning: internal DSA politics

"Palestine is a canary in the coal mine for an electoral approach that prioritizes popularity and political careerism over anti-imperialism and party-building."
I wish AOC were better and DSA could proudly endorse her, but as it stands, I unfortunately agree with Red Star's critiques and conclusion here.

Still a bridge to nowhere: Imperialism, electoralism, and AOC
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), darling DSA Socialist in Office (SIO), has received her fifth consecutive endorsement from NYC-DSA. She is sailing towards what is almost assuredly a safe re-election and will start her fifth term as a representative in Congress in 2027. NYC-DSA’s endorsement has opened the door to yet

I am here in California where the D party is trying mightily to assure that no D candidate ends up on the general election ballot in November.
For months on end we have been bombarded on all media types with ads from wealthy Tom Steyer (D).
His recent mailers and ads have become nothing but disgraceful attack pieces against fellow D's, thus increasing the chance that there will be only R candidates on the November ballot.
These ads are rubbish, the kind that would come …

Content warning: re: UKPol Makerfield Result

And the voters of Makerfield appear to agree with the assessment.
It was 55% Labour, 35% Reform. Even Restore and Reform put together couldn't beat him.
Not even a question of the Restore Vote splitting the right to let Andy in.
Just Burnham winning with 20% of the vote as his margin.
Wonder how long till the Leadership election. This could be the quickest an MP becomes leader ever 🤣

I agree with SF Chronicle columnist Allison Arieff that we should follow in Paris' footsteps by electing socialist mayors. Ok, she doesn't mention what party they belong to, but Allison does praise Anne Hidalgo and Emmanuel Grégoire.
