Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Trump administration gives initial approval to bank backed by GOP megadonors Sen. Elizabeth Warren says the approval of Erebor Bank, which is linked to Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey, is a classic example of crony capitalism.

Holy “parallel establishment”. “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is sounding the alarm about the Trump administration’s approval of a new bank backed by two GOP megadonors, tech billionaires Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey” … 1/ www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Welp.

Here it is. Trump's Gaza cease-fire deal just went up in flames.

Reported just 12 minutes ago.

Israel not only has suspended aid into Gaza but has launched a massive wave of attacks.

Time Magazine is going to have to come up with a new cover of Trump.

Israel strikes Gaza and accuses Hamas of violating ceasefire after soldiers killed | CNN Israel launched a wave of strikes on Gaza and blamed Hamas of violating the US-brokered ceasefire after two Israeli soldiers were killed in the enclave on Sunday.

Classic Trump: He does something that won't last, slathers himself in glory, and then watches as things fall apart.

Lots of promises, little reality.

How are your grocery prices?

Meet the scientists sounding the alarm about the doomsday risks of mirror life | CNN Kate Adamala started work on a cell in which the natural molecular structure is reversed. Then a possible doomsday scenario became clear.

Mirror cells sure sound like a great way to exterminate all life on Earth. Let's pray this research stops, as if COVID-19 killed 1.5 million Americans largely due to Trump, Trump 2.0—with that psychopath Kennedy in tow—would easily let 300+ million Americans die if a mirror-cell bioweapon got loose.

“Larry Ellison’s Oracle & Peter Thiel’s Palantir now form a single operational spine for digital governance and defence, from cloud infrastructure to predictive analytics. And Trump’s Gaza peace plan looks like the vehicle thru which that spine could extend into Gaza’s reconstruction.” 10/16/25 …1/

Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history

Disgusting.

MAGAs are accusing the Harvard Law Review of discriminating against white men. They prefer the Harvard Journal of Public Policy, which is affiliated w/ the Federalist Society & just published an article calling for the reversal of the 1947 Everson case on separation of church & state. 1/

When will voters ever learn that the GOP is not the fiscally responsible party?

ICE is actively hiring for construction-related jobs It's unclear what types of projects they'll be serving.

NEW from me — ICE is actively searching for job candidates with backgrounds in construction management and engineering via a third party recruitment agency. This comes on the heels of the @aclu.org uncovering ICE's plan to expand their detention facilities in 10 states.

My report:

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Jake Tapper can take his book and shove it. The end.
