I’m pleased to announce that following our reporting, multiple people have reported that a formal inquiry is being made into SEGM’s accreditation, and that the CME courses are at least temporarily pulled down.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

This little gem buried in the story is just... holy shit

Why is the border patrol/ice commander carrying a rifle the length of himself in this leafy suburb?

Kickbacks for tfg?

"But Her Emails" he cried softly

When the dam breaks on these guys - and it will, because they can't control themselves and don't even see why they should - it's going to get really ugly, really fast.

The fall of the CBS News climate team David Ellison, the new pro-Trump chief executive of Paramount Skydance, has dismantled the best climate change reporting team in cable news.

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s b...

A Nature poll found that 75% of U.S. researchers are considering leaving the country.

Guyz, even the *historians* are leaving or contemplating / likely to go. Including, at least 3 historians that I know of in my subfield. 😢

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

And regime change would probably mean some general who’s just as corrupt as Maduro.

“The driver’s family identified him as Carlos Jimenez, 24, a U.S. citizen, and said he was on his way to work at a food bank when the shooting occurred.”

Trump is letting homeowners get tricked.

Debt collectors are buying up old home loans and demanding back interest, even when the debt was cancelled.

If you can’t pay, they take your house.

The CFPB was ready to crack down – but Trump is letting the scams continue.

A text message received on my phone from (ostensibly, since it may be spoofed) 877-561-1236. It reads: We need $10k to SURROUND the White House with Trump/Epstein BFF billboards. Help us ruin Trump's week: dlga.us/41?t=80KUfF DLGA Stop2End

Okay, this SMS:

What billboards face the White House? Aside from bus shelters on 15th & 17th and banners hung from AFL-CIO/other nearby buildings, what does "surround the White House with … billboards" even mean?

It's s––ty activism to insult potential action takers' intelligence.

Folks, please note this. The top military official overseeing Trump's boat bombings recently resigned with no explanation, and now Republicans in Congress are refusing to press for his testimony even in a classified setting.

Lots of new behind-the-scenes reporting in this piece:

White House announces new limits on press access at 5 pm on Halloween

What the hell?

The Only National Parks Employee Who Tracks Leaky Oil Wells Is Out of a Job Forrest Smith was forced to step down last month as the National Park Service’s chief petroleum engineer. He wasn’t replaced.

Forrest Smith was forced to step down last month as the sole employee at the National Park Service responsible for cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells at national parks across the U.S. He wasn't replaced. Now, the wells are at risk of spewing planet-warming gases and contaminating groundwater.

What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.

Several have survived bombings and have been repatriated, rather than held as enemy combatants. Does this mean the admin lacks sufficient evidence to hold the people it is summarily executing?

This also came up in private briefing. The unnerving details are here:

This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Trump Marks Full Month Of Government Shutdown With $3.4 Million Golf Trip To Florida The Air Force One trip is his 13th visit to his Palm Beach country club since he returned to office and brings his taxpayer funded golf total to $60.7 million.

The fact that every GOP staffer below the age of 35 is reading Bronze Age Pervert and listening to Nick Fuentes is not covered enough and will have horrifying consequences in 10 years when those staffers are the ones in office.
