- Senator Demands Answers After DOJ Hires Attorney Convicted of Election Interfere...
(Photo by Michael Brochstein/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) sent a letter to Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon regarding “credible reports” he had read that the Department of Justice had hired an attorney who had been convicted of election interference for hacking election websites — and to work in the election monitoring division, nonetheless. In 2016, David Levin, then a 31-year-old resident of Estero, Florida, was arrested and charged with three felony counts for “unauthorized access of any computer, computer system, computer network, or electronic device.” A press release from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement announcing Levin’s arrest stated that he was “accused of gaining unauthorized access to the Lee County Elections Office website on Dec. 19, 2015 and to the Department of State Division of Elections website on Jan. 4 and 31, 2016.” He claimed he wanted to look into the “integrity of elections.” Levin later pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges, served a 20-day jail sentence, and received two years of probation. Despite this history, Levin was among the attorneys hired by DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, which Dhillon heads, to conduct election monitoring activities, according to a report by Democracy Docket. The report further noted that Levin appeared to have “taken part in a recent DOJ election monitoring operation in Minnesota.” Democracy Docket included “images and video posted online” and “publicly available facial-recognition reverse image search tools” to identify Levin’s presence at the Minnesota operations in August, as well as noting his Facebook profile photo “provides another indication of his DOJ ties,” as it “shows him standing in front of a flag bearing the DOJ insignia, with part of a woman wearing purple visible beside him. That attire appears to match an outfit worn by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon at a July 8 Civil Rights Division swearing-in ceremony.” Levin updated his Facebook profile photo earlier this month; the one Democracy Docket mentioned is still online here. Neither the DOJ nor Levin replied to Democracy Docket’s request for comment. Welch cited the Democracy Docket report in a press release and letter to Dhillon demanding answers on Levin’s apparent hire and role in the federal government’s election monitoring activities. “Deploying politically motivated individuals to carry out DOJ’s poll monitoring efforts threatens to undermine Americans’ faith in the electoral process ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections,” wrote Welch. The letter went on to emphasize that… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago - The Case Keenum Game: 3 Takeaways From Bears’ Culture-Defining Win vs. Eag...
With Caleb Williams out, the Chicago Bears needed Case Keenum to provide a steady presence in their Monday matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Keenum delivered, and then some. Keenum, who entered the season as the Bears' third-string quarterback and hadn't started a game since 2023, played nearly flawless football. He completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns to go with a rushing score, leading the Bears to a decisive 27-7 victory. Here are my takeaways from the Monday night matchup that Chicago fans will forever know as the Case Keenum Game: Monday night brought a new challenge for Ben Johnson’s reputation as a top offensive mind: Can he pull off a big win with a backup quarterback? Taking the field without Caleb Williams for the first time, Johnson’s answer, a 38-year-old Case Keenum in his first NFL snaps since 2023, was a resounding yes. Chicago’s defense helped out with three takeaways, but Keenum earned the win himself, throwing for touchdown passes to Luther Burden and Kalif Raymond against an Eagles team that came into the game 2-0. The Bears had already seen highs and lows offensively, scoring 59 points in an opening win over Carolina before a three-point showing in a rainy slog of a loss to Minnesota. For Keenum, the journeyman now has a cool piece of NFL history, joining Ryan Fitzpatrick as the only quarterbacks to start and win games with seven different NFL teams. For Keenum, that covers the Texans, the Rams (in both St. Louis and Los Angeles), the Vikings, the Broncos, the Commanders, the Browns and now the Bears. For the Bears and Johnson, they continue to keep pace in a talented NFC North, behind the surprising 3-0 Vikings and even at 2-1 with the Lions. Chicago stays home to face the Jets on Sunday before a biggest test at Green Bay in Week 5. With the Eagles' loss, they fell into a tie with the New York Giants at 2-1 atop the NFC East, on a day that New York traded a fifth-round pick to acquire quarterback J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings. The Washington Commanders got their first win Sunday, upsetting the Seattle Seahawks, and the Dallas Cowboys are 1-2 with the highest-scoring offense (and defense) in the division. Philadelphia’s offensive woes continued on Monday, though. The Eagles mustered only seven points against a Bears defense that gave up… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago - La Crosse area groups discuss food insecurity
Many community food pantries in the Midwest are seeing an increase in customers, because of financial hardship and other problems. At the La Crosse Family YMCA on Monday, a group of community leaders led a public discussion about ways to reduce food insecurity among families. YMCA community outreach director Jennie Melde says the Y gets many requests to add people to their Mobile Market program, “especially families in our school districts, and how can we partner with school districts to refer families, and get them the needed resources to help them just get by, a little bit extra, until they can make it.” An audience at the La Crosse Family Y hears a discussion about community food needs, The Y works with the Feeding America and Feeding Wisconsin programs, along with a food bank in Rochester, to help provide fresh food to hundreds of area households. Jackie Anderson from Feeding Wisconsin appreciates how companies such as Kwik Trip can make food available to food banks, by sending it to pantries rather than disposing of it before it expires. “We are having conversations with retailers that we maybe didn’t in the past,” Anderson said, “to ask if they’re willing to provide additional food.” FILE: La Crosse YMCA staffers and members prepare meals for area families in 2024 (PHOTO: Brad Williams) Anderson added that government can help out with food access for those who have not been able because of low income or other reasons to regain enough access to healthy food.
