JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s top election official has rejected a citizens’ petition seeking a statewide referendum on new congressional districts backed by President Donald Trump.

Supporters of the referendum had submitted hundreds of thousands of petition signatures in a bid to force a November election on a new U.S. House map approved by the Republican-led state Legislature. But Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins asserted Tuesday that the petition is void because congressional redistricting plans cannot be subject to voter referendums.

The number of petition signatures submitted doesn’t matter, Hoskins said, because “challenging a congressional map is unconstitutional under Missouri law.”

A group backing the referendum effort said it will contest Hoskins’ decision in court.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is moving to equip officers with body cameras in the next two months but the agency’s policy gives it broad control over what footage will be made public by specifying any releases must be in its “best interests.”

After years of delays, ICE said its field officers nationwide will have body-worn cameras by the end of September. The rollout comes after recent fatal shootings by officers enforcing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown have intensified pressure for accountability that the cameras could provide.

But the agency’s body-worn camera policy could mean taxpayers who are pitching in tens of millions of dollars to pay for the cameras may be kept in the dark about some high-profile confrontations, at least in their immediate aftermath.

A federal appeals court blocked President Donald Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom project on Friday, saying that all work except below-ground construction must stop, including projects the president argues are needed for security.

When the world goes to shit, your loyalty wont matter, you're not on the list for the spaceships.

When the world goes to shit, your loyalty wont matter, you couldnt afford the rich people bunker.

When the world goes to fucking shit, there'll be no bunker, there'll be no oil rig, there'll be no spaceship, there will be nothing for you.

Because they dont give a shit about you. They dont care how many times you called Elon 'Nuke Mars' Musk 'The GOAT', they wont care how many times you defend the billionares, they wont give a damn. Because while you spend all your time thinking about them, they dont for a second think about you.

Yep.
