Ramaswamy hits DeSantis as "super PAC puppet"

“The reality is you have a bunch of people, professional politicians, super PAC puppets following slogans handed over to them by their 400-page super PACS last week,” Ramaswamy said.

The Ohio-based entrepreneur is referring to a debate and strategy memo released by a research firm associated with the super PAC backing DeSantis that suggested, among other things, to “hammer” Ramaswamy during tonight’s debate. DeSantis has since distanced himself from the super PAC memo.

House Republicans launch investigation into Fulton County DA after Trump indictment

Jordan is asking Willis to hand over details on any federal funds the office receives by Sept. 7, as well as communications with the Justice Department — including Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading a federal probe into Trump’s challenges to the 2020 election that’s left the former president facing four separate criminal counts.

“Given the weighty federal interests at stake, the Committee is conducting oversight of this matter to determine whether any legislative reforms are appropriate or necessary. Such reforms could include changes to the federal officer removal statute, immunities for federal officials, the permissible use of federal funds, the authorities of special counsels, and the delineation of prosecutorial authority between federal and local officials,” Jordan wrote in the letter.

Alabama's upset. Thar state's rights* being infringed!!

'Federal Court Issues Scathing Unanimous Ruling Against Alabama After "Unlawfully" Reducing Power of Black Voters'

A three-judge federal court panel issued a scathing and massive 217-page unanimous ruling Tuesday against the Republican-majority Alabama legislature, which had defied a U.S. Supreme Court ruling ordering the state to draw up a new congressional map with two majority-Black districts. Lawmakers submitted a map they fully acknowledged included only one majority-Black district.

“We are disturbed by the evidence that the State delayed remedial proceedings but ultimately did not even nurture the ambition to provide the required remedy,” the judges wrote in a filing Tuesday, NBC News reports. “And we are struck by the extraordinary circumstance we face.”

“We are not aware of any other case in which a state legislature — faced with a federal court order declaring that its electoral plan unlawfully dilutes minority votes and requiring a plan that provides an additional opportunity district — responded with a plan that the state concedes does not provide that district,” the judges’ ruling states.

The judges ordered a special master be appointed who will create a “remedial map to ensure that a plan can be implemented as part of an orderly process in advance of elections, where the State was given an opportunity to enact a compliant map but failed to do so.”

CNN notes the three-panel court includes two Trump-appointed judges.

It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration.

This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative Administration.

Collectively eh? Sounds a bit commie to me.

Is this code for gerrymandering..?

[Sean Hayden]

If you want to rescue the country from the radical left you’ll need a more appealing message. But they’ll never get that. As authoritarian wankers political types are happy to have power over people with or without their respect and consent.
