Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

We have seen the Trump playbook before. In 2020 it was to pressure election officials to overturn the result of a free and fair election. Now it is to intimidate state legislatures to illegal redistrict. We defeated him the and we will do so again.

Take pride in our fellow American, Sen. Mark Kelly, vigorously standing up for the Constitution and against a violence-inciting White House occupant who is failing to intimidate this good man and honorable public servant.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.

But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

You probably didn't notice when Trump posted this on Election Night. Tomorrow I write for Democracy Docket about how this was a cue for the GOP to take off the gloves in the war on voting and how one state is already escalating its attacks on democracy.

The pile of lies is stunning.

First, no crimes at 1/6. Second, wrong to investigate. Third, unusual to get toll records of people instigators called. Fourth, wrong to suspend notice while investigation ongoing.
