Justice Roberts blocks House committee from obtaining Trump tax returns
 
Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has granted an administrative stay of a lower court order that prevents the House Ways and Means Committee from accessing Trump's tax returns.
 
The stay is temporary and will last until the court considers a final decision.
 
On Monday, the former president asked the Supreme Court to block the House Ways and Means Committee from accessing his tax returns after it requested six years' worth of Trump's returns as part of an investigation into IRS audit practices of presidents and vice presidents, reports ABC News.
 
Trump accused the committee of seeking his taxes under dubious circumstances, with a petition to the Supreme Court reading "The Committee's purpose in requesting President Trump's tax returns has nothing to do with funding or staffing issues at the IRS and everything to do with releasing the President's tax information to the public."
 
In August, a federal appeals court ruled that the committee would be handed the tax returns, having first sought the returns in 2019.
 
NBC reports that Trump "recently failed to block the request on Thursday when the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals shot down his request to reconsider a unanimous opinion from one of its three-judge panels approving the committee's access to the documents."
 
Trump says that the panel's attempts to get their hands on his returns are purely political.

'Voter registration has been a disaster': Democrats have lost 330,000 voters in Florida
 
Democrats are not poised to do well in Florida next week. In fact, it looks like they may not do well in the state for some time. Since the 2020 election, Dems have lost more than 330,000 registered voters in the state while GOP registrations have surged.
 
The Florida Division of Elections released its voter registration report for the November election, known as book closing, earlier this month.
 
Taken with the reports from the general elections in 2020 and 2018, Republicans and no-party-affiliate voters show a steady increase in voter registration.
 
But from 2020 to 2022, Democrats lost 331,810 voters…
 
News 6 political analyst and UCF professor Dr. Jim Clark says the problem can be laid at the feet of the Florida Democratic Party.
 
The result of this large shift in registrations is that the GOP now has a registration advantage in the state for the first time.
 
As of last month, there were 5.3 million registered Republicans and just under 5 million Democrats in Florida, marking the first time in state history that the GOP will carry a voter advantage on Election Day.
 
As bad as that news is, what’s even worse is who Democrats are losing.
 
Republicans have picked up where Trump left off. More than half of their gains in registered voters can be attributed to the 58,000 new H
