Nebraskans will vote next week in the U.S Senate primary race to determine which Republican and which Democrat will face off in November for the congressional seat. But a closer look reveals the latest in Democrat election rigging — complete with legal help from Russia Collusion hoaxer Marc Elias. The apparent master plan involves leveraging the primary race to prop up the so-called “nonpartisan” candidate vying for the Senate seat, who, under an “independent” facade, has deep leftist ties that could threaten fair representation in the red state. On May 12, Democrat candidates Cindy Burbank and William Forbes will face...

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision on the landmark voting rights case of Louisiana v. Callais, while arguments were heard in the Virginia Supreme Court in Scott v. McDougle. In Callais, the Supreme Court held that Louisiana’s congressional map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ordered that the judgment be issued to the lower courts immediately, rather than in 32 days, allowing Louisiana to redraw its congressional maps immediately. In McDougle, the state held a referendum vote to temporarily amend the state’s constitution to allow...

Map seeks to maximize GOP House seats ahead of midterms ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida’s new congressional map is now official. Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on X.com that he signed the redistricting bill lawmakers passed last week with a simple post showing the map, with the words “Signed, Sealed, and Delivered.” A few hours later, the first lawsuit was announced. The new map redraws a number of districts, particularly in Central Florida, the Tampa area, and South Florida. DeSantis pushed for the mid-decade redistricting for a few reasons. 1. He said the influx of new residents after the 2020 Census necessitated...

Apple Lamps@lamps_apple·14hI uploaded all of Marc Elias’s podcasts from the past six months that focus on the Supreme Court to NotebookLM. This is what it had to say...How Progressive Elites are Plotting to Dismantle the American RepublicA coordinated, apocalyptic narrative is currently being pushed by prominent progressive lawmakers, legal scholars, and activists, revealing a terrifying blueprint to completely dismantle the foundational institutions of the United States. Claiming that the nation is on the "precipice of absolute tyranny," these left-wing figures are actively utilizing extreme fear-mongering to justify an unprecedented structural power grab. Under the guise of "saving democracy," this coalition...

The Trump administration scored a court win on Friday as a judge ruled the administration can fast-track immigration cases. Immigration advocates sued the Trump administration last month, arguing that the asylum process should take “years” to conclude and that lawyers want “at least a year” to prepare for court hearings while applicants remain in the United States, The Daily Signal previously reported. However, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols of the District of Columbia, a Trump appointee, said in his opinion that immigration law is clear on the timing of cases. “Immigration judges are directed to resolve cases ‘in a timely...

Mark Elias, DNC and Hillary Clinton lawyer, is backing a lawsuit filed in Minnesota on behalf of illegal alien detainees. Taxpayer-funded lawyers sue the feds to create more demand for their product. I’m not kidding. The lawsuit (viewable here) was filed yesterday in federal district court in Minnesota (Case No. 26-cv-479) and reported this morning. The lawsuit was filed as a “class action complaint” with the proposed class being all illegal aliens being held in federal custody in Minnesota. The plaintiffs include a Minneapolis-based nonprofit, The Advocates for Human Rights. They put out a press release this morning under the...

Organization says mixing immigration and terrorism harms MuslimsTwo anti-Trump organizations filed a lawsuit Monday arguing that a government report earlier this year linking immigrants to most of the country’s terrorism cases since 2001 is so misleading that it violates federal law. The request seeks to recruit federal judges to police the accuracy of the administration, in what — if it’s successful — could become a model for anti-Trump groups to push back on a president they see as having a tenuous connection to the truth. The January report concluded that 73 percent of the 549 people convicted of international terrorism...

Democratic party attorney Marc Elias on Thursday told MSNBC's "The Weeknight" that President Donald Trump is trying to intimidate his political "enemies" from being a meaningful and robust opposition to him. MICHAEL STEELE, CO-HOST: Marc, Marc, here we go again. One more, right? What's your reaction, my friend, as the indictment counts seem to mount up here? MARC ELIAS, DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEY, DEMOCRACY DOCKET FOUNDER: Yeah, look, I think that we can't overcomplicate this with all due respect to your one of your prior guests. The fact is Donald Trump came into office saying he's going to seek vengeance against...

Democrats are struggling to convince the public that they are outraged that there is gerrymandering afoot in Texas. It is no easy task, particularly after Texas Democrats selected Illinois as their sanctuary state, a state considered the most gerrymandered in the country. Trump received 45 percent of the vote in the state, but Republicans have only 14 percent of the congressional seats. Even the New York Times admitted that gerrymandering has favored Democrats across the nation. However, the winner of the Claude Rains award must be Marc Elias, who has expressed disgust over the notion of gerrymandering despite the fact...

Two million dollars in taxpayer money used to pay off two disgraced FBI participants in the Trump Russian collusion narrative was approved by a former Department of Justice (DOJ) official who has gone on to help lead the current “legal resistance” against President Donald Trump. That’s the conclusion of a report in the Federalist based on new records reviewed exclusively by the publication and obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America under a Freedom of Information Request. The $2 million settlement in 2024 to FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page followed their lawsuits against...

Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias has lost his bid to thwart a Kansas law banning foreign actors from funneling money into state-level ballot initiatives. In May, the Elias Law Group, the eponymous law firm of the election attorney, jointly filed a federal lawsuit challenging the ban, enacted as H.B. 2106, on behalf of the foreign-funded Kansans for Constitutional Freedom. This week, an Obama-appointed judge issued a scathing ruling rejecting the plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction “premised on an unconstitutional overbreadth theory.” H.B. 2106, which amends the state’s Campaign Finance Act, prohibits donations from foreign nationals in support or defeat...

“Is the Blue Party really only the customer service desk for the administrative state?” —Jeff Childers It’s pretty universally acknowledged that America’s recent wars — say, starting with Vietnam — have been stupid, pointless, and fake in instigation. And yet the soldiers we sent into these fiascos acted bravely and honorably for the most part. So, it has felt a little weird to celebrate their sacrifices minus any sense of political justice, victory, or meaning in the endeavors they sacrificed for. Ergo, the holiday is lately reduced to a celebration of grilled meat. This Memorial Day, for a change, the...

"Every time I watch The View, I become even more misogynistic." — Laura Loomer. Saint Jake Tapper.Bad as it was, “Joe Biden,” the figment president, was merely one manifestation of a nation made mad by power-seeking demons, real-live, ill-intentioned human beings driving a runaway political machine, the party of hoaxes, hustles, and hatred. The country is just now struggling to exit a convulsion of mass mental illness. The demons are still there, though, and still hard at work trying to drag you all back into mass formation. A central mystery is how the news media made itself the enemy of...

Russia collusion hoaxer Marc Elias filed a lawsuit Friday challenging a new Wyoming law that makes it harder for noncitizens to register to vote. Gov. Mark Gordon, R-Wyo., allowed House Bill 156 to become law on March 21 without his signature. The legislation requires prospective registrants to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote. Proof includes a U.S. passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers, among other options. The legislation, which passed the state House 51 to eight and the state Senate by 26 to four, is slated to go into effect on July 1, 2025....

After an unprecedented on-air hissy fit last week over the forced exit of a longtime editor, 60 Minutes's Scott Pelley decided to go all in on the Trump-hate, using his on-air time to praise and promote Marc Elias, the architect of the Russia hoax scandal and probably the world's sleaziest lawyer. According to Breitbart News's Joel Pollak: CBS News’ 60 Minutes portrayed Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias as a victim of President Donald Trump’s supposed retaliation against law firms — without once mentioning Elias’s sordid background. CBS’ Scott Pelley portrayed Elias as a hero, the only lawyer brave enough to...

Scott Pelley’s 60 Minutes segment on Sunday started with a disclaimer, as if he knew the segment critical of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at curtailing frivolous political lawsuits was a more than a tad biased. “It was nearly impossible to get anyone on camera for this story, because of the fear now running through our system of justice,” Pelley explained. What he actually meant is likely that CBS leadership didn’t insist that he offer a balanced segment by finding credible sources on both sides of the topic. When Pelley introduced Democrat operative Marc Elias, the disclaimer made sense....

Before Elias was working to destroy our election system in America, he was a principal actor in the likely criminal Crossfire Hurricane scandal to impeach Trump. This week documents released by FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that ex-British spy Christopher Steele had been hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to conduct his baseless anti-Trump research dossier, and Fusion GPS in turn had been hired by Clinton’s 2016 campaign by now ex-Perkins Coie lawyer Marc Elias. Marc Elias, Perkins Coie, and the Obama regime then ran with this bogus document to spy on then candidate and future president Trump....

That question by itself is a mouthful considering the political climate in 2022. Given the secretive nature of a “military spec op” and the degree of difficulty investigating the kind of action where all traces need to point away from the actors, I need to disclose how I got to the place where this question became the only obvious one I can ask. The following will show circumstantially and logically why this wrinkle in the J6 investigation deserves qualified eyes on it to further and finish or put it to bed once and for all.If you’ve followed the J6 investigation...

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY SUBJECT: Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court Lawyers and law firms that engage in actions that violate the laws of the United States or rules governing attorney conduct must be efficiently and effectively held accountable. Accountability is especially important when misconduct by lawyers and law firms threatens our national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity. Recent examples of grossly unethical misconduct are far too common. For instance, in 2016, Marc Elias, founder and chair of Elias Law Group LLP, was deeply involved in the...
