PAY ATTENTION AMERICA. This is phase 1 of Trump's unravelling of our democracy, starting with sabotaging the election process.
The Justice Department is demanding all ballots from the 2024 election in the Detroit area, a highly unusual move that comes shortly after prosecutors seized 2020 ballots in Georgia and obtained 2020 election records in Arizona.
DOJ demands Detroit-area 2024 ballots, escalating election scrutiny
DOJ official Harmeet K. Dhillon wrote that she is seeking ballots to investigate election law compliance. Democratic state officials call the request baseless.

The New York Times gets it right, as usual.
President Trump turned his State of the Union address into full-blown political theater. There wasn’t a lot of policy talk in Tuesday’s speech or much coherence when it came to foreign affairs. It was a night of stunts and special guests.
‘Stand Up’: With One Maneuver, Trump Tries to Box In Democrats

Sure, this is funny on the surface. But think of what it says about the utter stupidity of 1 of every 8 Americans who are allowed to vote.
Good grief. Everyone knows they were just friends.

The march toward authoritarianism continues unchecked.
The FBI searched a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into classified material, people familiar with the matter said. It is exceedingly rare for federal agents to search a journalist’s home. trib.al/tKsg85n

Very good news!
Independent voters in the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll said they would select a Democrat over a Republican by a 2-to-1 margin. https://to.pbs.org/47ZcSjn
This poll number hasn’t been so favorable for Democrats since before the last blue wave

Discontinuing the penny makes a lot of cents.
The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K
