Blanche defends lawsuit seeking to block Alaska Senate result certification
Attorney General Todd Blanche says the Justice Department’s Alaska lawsuit is not an effort to give Trump control of state elections. The suit seeks to halt certification if Republican Dan Sullivan loses.
Reason for the case
Similar names on the ballot could confuse voters and undermine a lawful election process.
The voter-confusion claim is weak and the lawsuit risks political interference in election oversight.
Purpose and effect
The suit is meant to let officials determine whether confusion violated the law, not to help Trump overturn an unfavorable result.
The action could enable federal challenges to election results and amount to federal overreach.

Zuckerberg secures way to fund potential California billionaire tax
Meta approved non-voting shares that Mark Zuckerberg could sell to pay a proposed California wealth tax without giving up voting control. The tax still needs voter approval.
Tax policy
Advocates, including Bernie Sanders, have urged voters to approve the measure, which would impose a one-time 5% tax on the wealth of eligible California residents.

Potential effects
Backers say the tax could generate as much as $100 billion over five years, with most of the money for healthcare and the rest for food assistance and education.
