Nashville Democrat Jeff Yarbro Wants Elon Musk in ‘Jail’ if DOGE ‘Hurts Tennesseans’ by Blocking Federal Grants

Tennessee State Senator Jeff Yarbro (D-Nashville) on Thursday filed legislation that he said could lead to the jailing of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk, if the government reformer’s work "hurts Tennesseans" by denying them grant funding through DOGE’s efforts to cut wasteful spending.
Senate Bill (SB) 1128 by Jeff Yarbro, submitted Thursday as the "Shielding Tennesseans from Oligarchic Power and Eliminating Lawless Obstruction of Necessities" (STOP ELON) Act, would create a new felony offense that would be applied to anyone who, according to a description of the bill, interferes "with an individual’s or entity’s receipt of a loan, grant, or financial assistance," to which the government previously said they were entitled.

Judge appears likely to block DOGE from accessing Treasury Department records…

The hearing followed a lawsuit filed by three federal unions that alleged DOGE employees violated federal privacy laws when they accessed data from the Treasury Department, including the names, social security numbers, birthdays, bank account numbers, and addresses of taxpayers.
The agreement allows two individuals associated with Musk but employed by the Treasury Department called special government employees to have “read only” access to the sensitive data.

Reagan-Appointed Judge Temporarily Stops Trump Admin from Pulling Men Out of Women’s Prisons

A Reagan-appointed federal judge temporarily stopped the Trump administration from moving three male inmates out of women’s prison facilities on Tuesday in part because they don’t “present any threat” to female inmates.
District Judge Royce Lamberth, who took the bench in 1987, ruled on Tuesday to temporarily block President Donald Trump’s executive order to keep men in men’s prisons even if they identify as women. The ruling was in favor of “three male-to-female transgender women” who sued the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the Washington, D.C., district court to stop their transfer, alleging that Trump’s directive violates federal law and their constitutional rights.

State Audit Reveals Why Voter Citizenship Was Not Tracked in Arizona, Discovers U.S. Non-Citizen Residents Illegally Registered to Vote

After concerns arose last year over the numbers of noncitizens on Arizona’s voter rolls, Governor Katie Hobbs ordered an audit to figure out why there were so many. The audit, which was released last week, examined the problems that arose at the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) within the Arizona Department of Transportation, which offers “motor voter” automatic voter registration to Arizonans conducting driving related transactions. The audit investigated a “glitch” allowing over 200,000 voters who did not show documented proof of citizenship (DPOC) prior to 1996, and found another glitch allowing U.S. nationals to register to vote. 
Merissa Hamilton, co-founder of the conservative grassroots EZAZ which performs election integrity work, spoke to The Arizona Sun Times about the audit. "I have little to no confidence that neither MVD or the Governor’s task force have identified and resolved all of the issues with the voter registration and management process,” she said. “A voter we identified last year that stated they are not a citizen and do not know how they got registered wasn’t identified as being part of this problem investigated by the Secretary’s office. Clearly, there are still unidentified non-citizens on the voter rolls. The voters deserve a comprehensive audit of the rolls with a thorough review by DHS. The clown show that our election administration has come to be known as nationally must end. Our taxpayers deserve best in class elections."
