A federal judge tossed out the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) lawsuit to access West Virginia’s unredacted voter rolls, which marks 13 straight court losses for the department’s floundering effort to seize sensitive voter data from every state.

U.S. District Judge Thomas E. Johnston, who was appointed by former president George W. Bush, granted West Virginia’s motion to dismiss DOJ’s lawsuit Monday. In a scathing order, Johnston found the department failed to make a sufficient legal argument for its demand of sensitive voter data.

President Donald Trump’s DOJ is on an impressive losing streak in its voter roll lawsuits. On Friday, a federal judge tossed DOJ’s lawsuit seeking New York’s unredacted voter roll for the same reasons that Johnston dismissed the West Virginia lawsuit. Last month, DOJ scored its first appeals court loss when a three-judge panel for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s dismissal of the DOJ’s Michigan lawsuit. But Civil Rights Division chief Harmeet Dhillon, seemingly unfazed from losing, asked for a rehearing before the full Sixth Circuit.

That is all policies and political structures are testable and tested to see their effect on those three (or other suggested) factors. If a policy doesn't reasonably work then it's simply not continually employed. I'm curious to see what factors others think ought to be used.

It seems most political systems now were built without science in mind and utilize it as an afterthought to help develop legitimacy for policies individuals want. Generally politics across countries seems deeply emotionally driven and not fact driven. That is people have a feeling that an idea is a good idea and then they cobble together whatever they can to support that point without any unified measure of good or better. Ideally it ought to be the other way around, fact or evidence informed policy generation.

The company used to lag behind on EVs. Now it's growing its EV sales as others falter.

“Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor,” ordinary people are expected to absorb every risk created by rampant corporate speculation, while the wealthy get rescued from the consequences of their own decisions, free market ideology demands minimal regulation, personal responsibility, and no government interference right up until banks and corporations crash or investors start losing money, and then public money somehow magically appears through bailouts, emergency loans, subsidies, tax breaks, and government guarantees, the people whose labor actually makes the elite wealthy then end up losing their jobs, homes, healthcare, pensions, and savings and are told that’s simply how the market works, corporate losses get pushed onto the public while their profits remain private, and the same mfrs who condemn welfare for keeping poor people dependent have built an entire economic system where some of the richest institutions on Earth repeatedly depend on the government to save them.

The US has recommenced its bombing of Iran — less than a week after Trump’s ‘justice’ department (DOJ) blocked a court-ordered release of further Epstein files.

Epstein revelations, or Trump’s attempts to avoid them, have been so synchronised with the US-Israel war on Iran that it has been dubbed “Operation Epstein Distraction”. The attacks breach the US’s commitments under its ‘Memorandum of Understanding‘ with Iran.

Infineon Technologies has opened its Smart Power Fab in Dresden, Germany, months ahead of schedule, bringing the world’s largest manufacturing facility for intelligent power semiconductors and analog/mixed-signal technologies into operation.

The facility represents a €5 billion (about $5.7 billion) investment, the largest in the company’s history. It creates 1,000 direct jobs and doubles Infineon’s manufacturing capacity in Dresden.

The factory will produce chips that improve how electricity is converted and managed. Those devices will support AI data centers. They will also help power electricity grids and software-defined vehicles.
