Marc Elias #DemocracyDocket

From Marc Elias of Democracy Docket:
“On April 28, 2026, Texas made an admission to the federal government: Individuals who told the Department of Motor Vehicles that they were not U.S. citizens were nevertheless registered to vote. Texas's Secretary of State called it "a clerical error."

The Trump administration did not decry the state for voter fraud. Right-wing media figures did not assert it was a deep state conspiracy. The legacy media did not treat it as headline news.

Nor should it have been.

It was, as Texas said, a simple clerical error. Officials found the mistake, reported it, and took the appropriate steps to fix it. That was the end of the story.

This is not the first instance of a state making a paperwork error, and it will not be the last.

In today’s media environment, red states are given that grace. If you're a blue state, the opposite is true.”

“There’s a reason Donald Trump is leading the movement to make it more difficult to vote. He knows anyone armed with facts will have a tough time greenlighting his circus.” - Dan Rather substack.com/app-link/pos...

The Atlantic, Gift article: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Matteo Wong, The Atlantic: “The creed of today’s AI industry is scale: The more data and energy that go into training a bot, in theory, the smarter it will be; the more users that bot reaches, the more money there is to eventually rake in.

Nearly four years after the launch of ChatGPT, that creed is starting to look like an original sin. AI models and their voracious appetite for memory and computing chips are driving up the prices of just about anything remotely electronic: laptops, cloud storage, new cars. The issue, as my colleague Alex Reisner argued this week, is that, in fact, generative AI does not scale—at least not in practical and business terms. Typically, software and devices become cheaper to develop and distribute as more people use them. But AI “must be made bigger at a faster rate just to sustain steady progress,” Alex wrote. “By economic and engineering measures, generative AI might be the worst technology ever deployed.””

Since last year, the Trump administration has been dramatically reducing the amount of federal data available to the public. Gaps in the public record could limit our understanding of what’s happening in the country, and the world.

Is this the economic responsibility you wanted, GOP voters? I've heard you say that increasing the national debt is a bad thing... From Heather Cox Richardson -

Quote from post by Heather Cox Richardson:
"Shannon Pettypiece and Mike Hixenbaugh of NBC News reported on July 1, there was a “seismic shift” at the heart of the new law: it extended about $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to corporations and wealthy Americans over ten years while cutting about $1.1 trillion from healthcare and food assistance programs that serve poor and working-class Americans. It also adds about $4.7 trillion to the national debt over the next ten years."

#DemocracyDocket Why SCOTUS shouldn’t have heard the election finance case. “I have no idea what will happen in the 2028 election, but I feel confident of this: big money will flood the system, JD Vance will not be a candidate for the U.S. Senate, and no one on the Supreme Court will…apologize.”

Dan Rather: “At a time when a majority of Americans are struggling financially, when a tomato costs almost twice what it did a year ago, when half of the country isn’t able to save for retirement, the richest man in the world wasn’t satisfied with his billions.” substack.com/app-link/pos...
