    The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday rejected the Justice Department’s request for California to set aside disputed ballots received in the midterm election. The panel’s 2-1 ruling is the latest setback for the Trump administration’s efforts to assert control over state-run elections. The administration has alleged California sent ballots to some 20,000 people who may not be U.S. citizens. It wants the state to set those ballots aside and not count them until citizenship can be verified. California officials say the list is highly unreliable and likely includes many people who are U.S. citizens. A district court judge already forcefully denied that request and warned that the Justice Department’s demands could disenfranchise citizens. “As the district court found — and we discern no clear error — there is no feasible way to identify and segregate the ballots of specific individuals without potentially catastrophic effects on the entire system,” the appeals court wrote. Earlier on Friday, a federal judge in Washington ordered the Trump administration to share the disputed list of names with lawyers for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights and the UCLA Voting Rights Project. They want the list so they can examine who is on the list and assess its impact on eligible voters. It will be the first time that a nongovernment organization will have the opportunity to evaluate the merits of the list of some 20,000 names. https://apnews.com/article/california-noncitizen-voting-trump-midterm-lawsuit-49cee0f4184b0ecb573f9f0274350642

    @Daniel It will come crashing down on it's own. And I've read the Dems in congress have no appetite for bailouts.

    @Daniel said: So how much money does it cost to buy citizenship in Norway? You have to have lived there for like 7 years and be able to speak the language with some proficiency.

    Wash" cycle with HE detergent to clean the drum and prepare the dispenser. Water Connection: Ensure the hot water inlet hose is connected to the hot supply and the cold to the cold. Reversed hoses can lead to warm rinse water and wrinkles. Water Supply: Make sure both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on for proper fill. 2. Detergent and Additives HE Detergent: Only use HE or High-Efficiency detergent and measure it correctly. Excessive detergent or using non-HE detergent can cause excessive suds, poor cleaning, and very wet loads or error codes. Detergent Dosage: Follow the manufacturer's dosage based on soil level and load size. Use less detergent for very soft water. Fabric Softener: Measure carefully, dilute it, and add it only to the rinse cycle to avoid staining. Using too much on smaller loads can cause discoloration. Liquid Chlorine Bleach: Measure accurately and follow manufacturer's directions. Undiluted bleach will damage fabric. 3. Cycle and Settings Temperature: Select the warmest water safe for your fabric, checking garment care labels. Warm/hot water may be cooler than in previous washers. Soil Level (Wash Time): Select a suitable setting for your load. Use "Extra Heavy Soil Level" or "Extra Power" for heavily soiled items, and "Light Soil Level" for lighter soil to reduce tangling and wrinkling. Spin Speed: Faster speeds shorten drying time but may increase wrinkling. Slower speeds reduce wrinkling but leave loads damper. 4. Loading and Sorting Load Size: Do not overload. Items must move freely. Load items in loose, even heaps around the washplate. Sorting: Separate dark items from lights and whites to prevent dye transfer and a dingy appearance. 5. Maintenance Clean Washer Cycle: If clothes are not coming clean or the water level seems low, run a "Clean Washer cycle" approximately once per month. This re-calibrates the control to factory-set water levels and helps remove detergent/softener build-up. Use the recommended affresh Washer cleaner.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you. Marie Q I have a better idea, Marie Q. Stop promoting disposable clothes washers and these stupid instructions about how to make an appliance function because it isn't capable of washing clothes for 3 years and a day wouldn't be needed. The best part is don't overload. No, definitely don't overload because government regulations limit the machine's fill level to tub 1/3 full.

    They got evicted by the billionaire owner from his Cotswold estate after Meghan posted pictures of the estate on the Internet allowing the world to know the location and to identify the owner who leads a private life among having uninvited guests staying there, being rude to staff, the usual. Apparently, the owner did it because he thought he was doing his friend William a favor, so it was a con from the start. Surprise. He'll never be forgiven for betraying the agreement he personally made with the Queen "Sandrgham Summit" imo. He'll never be forgiven for slandering his family for something they didn't do "the Oprah interview". She? I don't have all day. She's a creature from Hell imo.
