Acclaimed mid-century crooners Eddie Fisher (Carrie's dad), Andy Williams and Bobby Darin perform a fantastic and complicated rendition of the song Do Re Mi from The Sound of Music on The Andy Williams Show, originally broadcast by NBC on January 10th, 1966. Their voices blended beautifully here. Definitely worth a watch.

His speech marked a major escalation in the Trump administration’s efforts to assert federal control over state election procedures.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened top election officials in all 50 states and D.C. with criminal charges if they do not comply with the Trump administration’s demands to feed their voter rolls through a flawed federal database. [....] Alongside his threats Friday, Mullin claimed that the database in question [i.e., the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements or SAVE database] had identified over 250,000 noncitizens registered to vote in California, New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania. [....] The database, however, has repeatedly falsely identified eligible voters as noncitizens. It particularly falsely flagged naturalized citizens as ineligible to vote. [color emphasis added] [....] A federal judge in Washington, D.C., last month barred the DHS from continuing to use the database to surveil and force removals from state voter rolls. [....] In her order, [U.S. District Judge Sparkle] Sooknanan warned that the Trump administration “haphazardly” threatened “the sacred right to vote” by adopting the expanded SAVE system knowing that it would falsely flag eligible voters as potential noncitizens. [color emphasis added]

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️

So, Mullins, a federal officer with zero constitutional authority to interfere with how states run elections, is trying to force states to use a database that he KNOWS "would falsely flag eligible voters as potential noncitizens."

Isn't this election interference?

A number of states have election interference laws on their books.

Maybe a group of state attorneys general should consider charging Mullin with attempted election interference?

It's way past time for the states that want to preserve our democratic republic to fight back against the devious efforts of the Trump regime to disenfranchise voters in the 2026 election.

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

And often, they are assholes, too.
