“A federal judge in Chicago on Thursday ordered the immediate release from detention of a 9-year-old Brazilian boy who was separated from his mother at the U.S.-Mexico border,” AP reports.
“Judge Manish Shah said Lidia Karine Souza can have custody of her son, Diogo, who has spent four weeks at a government-contracted shelter in Chicago. The mother, who has applied for asylum, was released from an immigrant detention facility in Texas June 9.”

What bugs me about it is that an awful lot of people seem to have forgotten about the Electoral College, so we’re actually only talking about elections “mattering” in three gerrymandered, registrations stricken states to the tune of about 80,000 votes.
