With the midterm elections less than 10 weeks away, the Supreme Court has lifted a lower court injunction on President Trump’s executive order seeking to limit mail-in voting ahead of the midterms. Trump’s order directed the Department of Homeland Security to create state-by-state lists of eligible voters who are citizens. The U.S. Postal Service would then use the lists provided by states to assess if voters should be allowed to vote by mail. On Monday, justices ruled 6 to 3 that California and 22 other states lacked standing to sue over the issue. The ruling, however, did not address whether Trump had authority to impose the rules.

The court’s three liberal justices dissented. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned that the majority opinion “needlessly injects chaos and uncertainty into the upcoming midterm elections.”

Has anyone here had much success with automated book downloads and a self-hosted library? I've been pulling my hair out trying to get shelfmark and calibre-web automated to work for me.

I'm trying to use them for engineering textbooks which I realise is not the intended use-case, so any more appropriate suggestions would be appreciated. I want something that handles creating a searchable text layer on top on the book so I can search the textbooks more easily.

ShelfMark is having the following issues:

  • not connecting to annas-archive.is. I can reach it from my browser
  • the sources I want aren't covered by the indexers via prowlarr

CWA is struggling to ingest my engineering textbooks at all. I've just increased the time-out so hopefully that helps.

The question of what the government should do is the most fundamental in any society. What should government do is the fundamental question that political discourse in the United States revolves around.

Donald Trump's second administration has brought an equally important question to the forefront.

Who should government work for?

According to the Founders and more than two centuries of history, the government should operate with the well-being of all in mind.

When Donald Trump returned to the White House, he ushered in the country’s first presidency that has been of, for, and by the billionaire class.

Republicans this year quietly cut millions of dollars of funding for the late and beloved Dolly Parton's children's book charity, according to multiple reports. Imagination Library, the nonprofit founded by Parton that sends free books to children across the world, faces an uncertain future in Indiana and Missouri as Republican lawmakers limit public funding, Newsweekreported Wednesday.

The federal judge, who cited Dolly Parton in his ruling, found that the state law violated the First Amendment.

If only we had elected the man who told us he was the only one who could stop inflation and end the wars and all that jazz. Oh wait, that happened and he made everything worse. Ha, silly me.
