Thanks to Chris Hansen and @kylec.bsky.social from 9 News for the coverage of the Blake and Market lanes. I didn't realize that DOTI spent 28% of the original installation cost in ripping up the post from in between the Zicla blocks. In the name of aesthetics only?! www.9news.com/video/news/l...

I wrote this analysis for @justsecurity.org on the Trump Admin's retreat from voting rights enforcement and its efforts to restrict access to the ballot. The piece details 8 cases DOJ has dropped. It also discusses a new legal strategy to undermine the Voting Rights Act.

Evening walk. The Barn Owl was so close I struggled to track it, even with the lens barely zoomed. Maybe able to crop a couple of these plus there's others where it was further away that are probably better composed and less hurried. It was probably 10m away for most of these.

Re-upping this piece because the deadline for comments on the new version of Schedule F has been extended to June 7. DOGE actions occurred with no public input, so no excuse not to weigh in on Trump's further efforts to politicize the civil service. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/here-is-a-...
