This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown

the doj was like "idk"

the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Trump wants to deploy troops in Oregon, but he keeps getting stopped by judges he appointed.

Also, he wants to put his face on a coin for the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

C-SPAN Announces Guests for First Ceasefire Program – Debuting October 10
 
Guests: Mike Pence and Rahm Emanuel
Sean Spicer and Faiz Shakir
Washington, DC (October 6, 2025) – Beginning Friday October 10, 2025, at 7pm ET, C-SPAN introduces Ceasefire, a new weekly series that takes a different approach to political conversation. In an era when conflict often grabs the spotlight, Ceasefire creates an opportunity for something more civil but no less important: thoughtful dialogue between leaders who don’t always agree but are willing to listen. The network that doesn't take sides is producing Ceasefire, hosted by POLITICO's Dasha Burns, to showcase what happens when two leaders have a spirited, but civil dialogue as Americans not just partisans.

Every other day I see a news story about some local conservative luminary or pastor being arrested for sex crimes but I’m getting ads asking me to β€œstay alert” for everyday things which may not look like human trafficking.

Welcome to Monday in the Nations Capital:

The Supreme Court is in session but the rest of the government is not.

The House is in recess because why would they be here to deal with a crisis.

Members of Congress get paid but those who guard the building don’t, yet have to work.

Make it make sense

Del Toro also had Phoenician Scheme this year, which I think helps put him forward in voters mind perhaps for getting some recognition. And he’s mostly be out of sight the last five years!

It's been a week since I've seen it, and in that time, Benicio Del Toro's work in One Battle After Another has stuck with me the most. He's so warm and open! Give him awards!

For anyone planning to see One Battle After Another at AFI Silver, it’s digital only at the moment. 70mm projector is on the fritz. No confirmation on when it will be back up.

Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reportedly Finds Trey Reed Didn’t Die by Suicide β€” Family Attorney Ben Crump Hasn’t Confirmed According to a source who isn't authorized to comment publicly, the autopsy of Trey Reed reveals that his death was not caused by a suicide.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

The evil genius of crypto is that it creates fake β€˜money’ that trades for real value. Keep the scam running and you can swallow the world.

That is the endgame.
