The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple videos as trial exhibits that show federal officers using force against what appear to be nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on various nights since June.

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

(A) An adult female in the field on Sicyos angulatus. (B) Back view of an adult female reared on cucumber, whose hindleg organs are covered with fungal hyphae (arrowheads). (C) Magnified image of the hindleg organ. (D to L) Morphology of hind tibia of adult male [(D) to (F)], immature adult female [(G) to (I)], and mature adult female [(J) to (L)]. [(D), (G), and (I)] Brightfield images. [(E), (H), and (K)] Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. [(F), (I), and (L)] Magnified SEM images. (M to O) Peculiar behavior of egg-laying adult female. After laying each egg (M), the female rhythmically scratches the hyphae-covered hindleg organ with tarsal claws of the opposite hindleg (N) and then rubs the egg surface with the claws in a skillful manner (O). Also see movie S1. (P to R) Egg mass covered with fungal hyphae at 0-day (P), 3-day (Q), and 10-day (R) intervals after oviposition. Reddish color of 10-day eggs reflects the body color of developing nymphs inside.

What looked like a hearing organ on a tiny stinkbug’s leg turned out to be something far stranger: a fungal nursery that mother bugs use to coat their newly laid eggs in protective symbiotic hyphae, shielding their offspring from parasitic wasps.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Today, Members of Congress got their paycheck unless (as I did) they wrote a letter to the House saying to withhold the pay pending the shutdown.

Meanwhile, Congressional staffers went without pay today.

Every member should answer whether they took the paycheck while their staff got nothing.

Best Halloween costume spotted in weho last night

A huge banner on some kind of rigging suspended above a line of Teslas parked on the street. The banner reads "lemon law returns, park here" with big red arrows pointed at the Teslas 🤣 #teslatakedown

On the left is the Tesla dealership. The back of the banner, which is currently facing the dealership, reads Don't buy Tesla. #1 crash rate. #1 fatality rate. You're better than Tesla.

In Los Gatos, California, the Tesla dealership started parking cars in the parking lane to block the view of #teslatakedown protestors from passing traffic. So the team put their heads together and deployed this today. (Second pic is the backside of the banner.) A+ creativity.

Trump is illegally blocking SNAP benefits. He won't spend a cent to lower health care costs for American citizens.

But he'll spare no expense to refurbish his bathroom with statuary marble.

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes “Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

“Since the billboards have gone up, DeBarros said she’s hearing from National Guardsmen who are preparing to deny mobilization orders, as troops did in California and are preparing to do so in Chicago.”

Very encouraging! 2 vet-led groups sponsoring.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.

Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

• Pardoned the "Camp Auschwitz" guy.
• Dined with Holocaust deniers.
• Said Jews who vote Democrat "hate their religion."
• Silent when young Republicans "love Hitler."
• Silent when Heritage backs Carlson/Fuentes.

It's not a coincidence. It's a culture.

Sen. Slotkin: “I believe that Trump is ready to bring the full weight of the federal government against Americans he perceives as enemies. Why? Because he has one goal, making sure that he and his ilk never have to give up power.”
