Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

More specifically, he's lying that the SAVE Act is "voter ID." It creates a requirement at the time of *registration* to vote which is deliberately calculated to make traditional voter registration drives impossible. It is not what people usually think of and many states have, ID check at the polls.
Mike Johnson lies that voter ID "is an 80 or 90 percent issue on the polling nationwide"

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

They are SO about to make up some national security “classified” bull shit about Georgia and will use it a pretext to meddle
WELKER: What do you say to the allegation Trump is going to meddle in midterms & that's what he's doing in GA?
JOHNSON: I find it comical a senator from GA is talking about schemes. GA was example A of that
W: There are no Qs about 2020 that have not been answered
J: That's your opinion
W: Nope

modern deep research tools are pretty good. Out of curiousity, would you be willing to give me a question that would require nontrivial research? something you know the answer to, where the answer is tweet-length? I'll run it through a deep research tool and respond with the summarized output

Been banging the drum on this one since he showed up trying to get his DOGE kids access to all those separate silos of data on American citizens and feeding it into AI! No one paid attention. This is it right here. It's always been about "making lists" for ICE and now they got the cash too.
