Federal judge blocks Florida election law that would have set limits on voter registration
Ron DeSantis' unceasing campaign to pave his state into an authoritarian hellscape hit a major road bump as a federal judge blocked an election law that would have set limits on voter registration in the state. The GOP's latest scheme to suppress the vote made it illegal for people convicted of certain felonies and for non-citizens — including those who have permanent legal residency in the US — to collect or handle voter registration applications.

Trump-appointed judge gives GOP a huge gift, limits federal government's contact with social media companies
Republicans scored a major victory against common sense, science, public health, and America itself as a Trump-appointed judge ruled to limit the Biden administration’s communication with social-media platforms. Several government agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI, cannot contact tech companies “for the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.” In other words, let the misinformation and anti-vax propaganda run wild!

Biden again calls for stricter gun measures after string of shootings
Once again, President Biden spent part of his Independence Day doing something truly patriotic: advocating for safer gun laws to curb the ceaseless killing of innocent Americans. Biden's latest call for new gun-violence prevention laws came in the wake of several mass shootings that took the lives of at least 10 Americans over the holiday weekend. When will Republicans muster the courage to do literally anything to combat the bloodshed? Sources say likely never.

Minnesota Democrats pass raft of progressive reforms
Minnesota was one of a few states to secure a Democratic trifecta in 2022 and has since shown what a godsend blue governance can be for citizens. Since then, the Minnesota legislature has experienced a historic session that saw the passage of a wide range of progressive bills, including worker protection laws, abortion rights legislation, and a raft of voting rights and democracy reform measures. Voting Democrat works, folks!

Viral leftist Twitter user likely doesn’t exist
It now appears that a “proud Democrat” Twitter account which regularly went viral sharing extreme liberal opinions is probably not a real person. The owner of the popular account claimed to have worked as a field organizer for the Biden presidential campaign and was repeatedly mocked by conservatives for her histrionic takes. But a new report claims that the Biden campaign has no record of her, and neither does the Obama Foundation where she previously said she'd worked, and a digital-imaging expert said her images show signs of digital manipulation. It now seems that the account was nothing more than a psyop, a right-wing effort to paint Democrats as unhinged.
