The top Justice Department prosecutor for civil liberties and voting rights tells Just the News that her ongoing review of state voter rolls has proven tens of thousands of noncitizens made it into a position to cast ballots and that hundreds of thousands of dead or departed residents were not properly removed from state election systems. "It's really frustrating that we're being prevented from doing our job," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said Tuesday night, criticizing state election offices and federal judges who are blocking her office from her historic effort to obtain and review every state's voter roll ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Establishment elites have begun seeding the narrative that Vice President JD Vance and the GOP are locked in an internecine battle over artificial intelligence, one that could derail Vance’s ascent as the heir apparent to carry President Donald Trump’s MAGA mantle forward. “Vance Is Handcuffed: The Tech Fight Bedeviling 2028 Republicans,” declared a recent Politico headline. “How an AI Bust Could Blow Up the 2028 Race,” warned another.The increasing emphasis on AI as a potential lightning rod election issue is not without merit. A new NBC poll finds that just 26 percent of Americans hold a positive view of artificial intelligence, crystallizing a high-stakes electoral reality:

A high-stakes special election in Georgia is now headed to a runoff after no candidate secured a majority of the vote in Tuesday’s crowded race to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress. Republican Clay Fuller, a district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit who received the “complete and total endorsement” of President Donald Trump, will face Democrat Shawn Harris, a retired U.S. Army brigadier general and cattle farmer, in an April 7 runoff. The race to fill Georgia’s 14th Congressional District seat drew a crowded field of candidates from multiple parties. Because Georgia uses a jungle-primary system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot,
Senate Majority Leader Thune Is a 'No'

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, which would require providing ID to vote, passed the House in February but sits stalled in the Senate, where it needs 60 “ayes” to overcome a filibuster.With a tight 53-47 GOP margin in the Senate, that’s not likely to happen. Many have suggested that we get rid of the filibuster altogether and force up or down votes in the chamber, or reinstating the "talking filibuster" — but Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) threw cold water on that plan:Eighty-three percent of Americans support voter ID, according to a February CNN poll,

In less than two months, voting by mail will begin in California’s midterm primary election. The actual Election Day of June 2 is illusory. By May 4, hordes of ballot harvesters will hit the streets from San Diego to Crescent City, armed with the finest microtargeting tools ever deployed. They will scour every neighborhood and canvass every precinct, finding the votes they need in college classrooms, homeless encampments, prisons, and retirement homes. For voters who didn’t register, they’ll be armed with same-day registration forms and provisional ballots. They’ll pound the pavement until the last hour of the last day,

Péter Magyar, leader of Hungary’s opposition party Tisza, and heads of several European nations are quietly working behind President Donald Trump’s back to reshape Europe in their own image — with a clear disregard for American interests. Europe has long been seen as an island of stability and prosperity, but those days are firmly in the past. Only arrogance prevents Europeans from acknowledging this reality. This arrogance is driving leaders across the continent to make shortsighted decisions that threaten their most important alliance: Washington. The 2025 US National Security Strategy rightly identifies serious problems within Europe.
Oil-rich Texas to build power lines for

eminent domain

Texas produces so much oil that if it were an independent country, it would rank in fourth or fifth place in the world’s top oil producers. Yet the state is still looking to build massive high-voltage transmission lines primarily to satisfy the needs of wind, solar and battery facilities. The lines will cross over tens of thousands of acres of private land. The Texas legislature shrunk the timeline to construct them at breakneck speed, which has made the landowners very conerned, considering they have little time to provide input and are potentially facing eminent domain to make room for the projects.

Ah, St. Patrick's Day is upon us — a fine time to restore our sense of humor. More than 20 years ago, British sociologist Christie Davies wrote in “The Mirth of Nations” that Americans were becoming as nervous about swapping jokes as people once were in communist Eastern Europe — a warning he issued well before cancel culture. Which makes me long for the jokes my dad and Uncle Mike — a child of Irish immigrants — shared on Sundays, such as this one: “Mike,” says Pat, “If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you like most to be with?” “Me uncle Malachy,” says Mike.

With the dust literally settling and an acknowledgment that the situation could unexpectedly change, Operation Epic Fury appears to be a success. The U.S. and Israel now control the skies and the seas, and Trump will facilitate the transition to new leadership. In its final death throes, the old regime has shot off missiles every which way, hitting random areas, with diminishing prospects of serious retaliation. Altogether, based on how the campaign has progressed, Iran is on its way to becoming a stable and prosperous republic, or at least a tolerable autocracy that doesn’t sponsor terrorism. Even so, will this outcome satisfy the many critics of this conflict?

A federal judge on Monday fired three new leaders in the US Attorney’s Office for New Jersey. US District Judge Matthew Brann, an Obama appointee, said the current leadership in New Jersey’s US Attorney’s Office exceeds the Attorney General’s authority. “One year into this administration, it is plain that President Trump and his top aides have chafed at the limits on their power set forth by law and the Constitution. To avoid these roadblocks, this administration frequently purports to have discovered enormous grants of executive power hidden in the vagaries and silences of the code,” Judge Brann wrote.
