โI Donโt Feel Safeโ: Black Memphis Residents Report Harassment by Trumpโs Police Task Force
A pastor was pulled over for looking lost. A 72-year-old was marched out in his bathrobe due to mistaken identity. Memphisโ mayor welcomed the federal law enforcement surge, but some residents say the...
When police returned Reggie Williamsโ wallet, an officer told him: Donโt do anything bad and keep your ID on you.
To Williams, the warning echoed a slavery-era requirement that free African Americans carry documents to prove they werenโt enslaved.

Yup. It turns out massively destabilizing trade in and out of the country is bad for people importing to build factories in order to export stuff.
Also, theyโve pretty much killed CHIPS and Science, the largest domestic manufacturing bill in recent history.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And itโs something that has to be part of the national conversation in โ26 and in โ28.
If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028โand I think the possibility of that is pretty goodโSupreme Court reform has to be on the table.

JUSTICE FOR TREMANE
Oklahoma is set to execute Tremane Wood.
He was sentenced to death under Oklahoma's felony murder rule, a law that allows anyone involved in a felony that leads to a death to be criminally responsible for the death.
The confessed killer, Tremane's brother, was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Nearly 42 million Americans lose their food stamp benefits
The lapse in benefits could be temporary if the Trump administration complies with a recent court order requiring them to use emergency money to fund SNAP.

"wealth hoarders", not sure how I feel about a term used to describe someone with a mental health problem to describe people who are malicious and greedy.
Perhaps we could create a show where a "cleaner" comes in and frees a "wealth hoarder" of their unnecessary monies that are just laying around.

'Manufactured panic': Immigration not near top of most people's concerns, poll suggests
The cost of living, health, crime, and housing are much higher on people's lists of personal worries, a YouGov survey has suggested.
Friday 31 October 2025 04:22, UK
We have had surveys that have shown us exactly this in the UK, France, the EU etc for many years
What we need to ask ourselves is why have journalists, politicians, academics etc chosen to focus on surveys that hype immigration
This is what I explore here:

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.
This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.
