@chrisgeidner.bsky.socialReposted by @rickhasen.bsky.socialBREAKING: In responding to one of two lawsuits challenging the legality of the Trump-praising DHS propaganda ads, DOJ tonight does not defend the ads on the merits — instead arguing that the ads are set to end on Sunday, so there will be no irreparable harm. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@rickhasen.bsky.socialDOJ’s latest bellyflop in its voter file quest is the biggest yet electionlawblog.org/2026/dojs-la...
@justinlevitt.bsky.socialReposted by @rickhasen.bsky.socialThis is a big deal. DC fed judge says that DOJ's pursuit (and use) of the state voter files is unlawful, on a bunch of different grounds. And effectively confirms that for the 18 states that submitted files willingly, whoever collected the files at DOJ Civil Rights committed federal crimes.
