“A federal judge in Oregon says he can no longer assume ICE agents are telling the truth in their arrest paperwork, declaring Monday that live testimony is now ‘necessary’ after finding that warrantless arrests are still being made and facts are being ‘fabricated in official records’ by immigration officers. In a 50-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai ruled that ICE repeatedly violated an existing court order governing warrantless immigration arrests in the Beaver State, with inaccurate reports, missing records and accounts that did not match what actually happened. The judge’s loss of confidence in the agency was so pronounced that he withdrew the usual presumption that government officials have properly performed their duties.” (11/03/26)

“On October 21, a New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay the state $25 billion for violating its Unfair Practices Act. That penalty is massive. But the bigger problem is how the judgment treats the gap between a platform’s moderation promises and its imperfect enforcement as deception, penalizing platforms for moderating protected speech and sidestepping Section 230 and the First Amendment. If nothing is done to stop these attacks on free expression, we will all lose access to online platforms, big and small, as we know them.” (11/03/26)

“Notwithstanding the manifest failure of America’s welfare-warfare state and managed-society way of life, with its massive spending, taxation, inflation, and debt, Americans unfortunately remain wedded to this dysfunctional system. The midterm elections are simply a battle over who will exercise the power and dispense the largess that comes with the evil and immoral systems that have destroyed our liberty, privacy, and well-being. To get our nation back on the right track, Americans must move beyond trying to elect the ‘right’ people to public office through a political game of musical chairs.” (11/03/26)

“President Trump said on Tuesday that he has reached a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that will end U.S. aid to Israel this year. Trump said in an interview with ‘Fox and Friends’ that he and Netanyahu made a deal ‘months ago’ for Washington to end its aid to Israel. ‘They’re fine with it,’ the president said. ‘They’ve become a very successful country, They don’t need it, and we won’t be paying anymore.’ Trump noted that the U.S. would ‘help’ Israel if they need it, noting the Middle Eastern country has been ‘a great ally.'” (11/03/26)

“The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) want to overhaul America’s system of government. Its current political program calls for abolishing the Senate and Electoral College and replacing the presidency and Supreme Court with institutions controlled by Congress. These changes would dismantle much of the system of checks and balances established by America’s Founders — a system that has worked well for over 250 years. Here’s what the DSA platform wants to change: 1.) Abolish the U.S. Senate. … 2.) The DSA platform wants to abolish the Electoral College. … 3.) DSA’s proposal would weaken separation of powers, by putting the country’s leader under the authority of the same lawmakers who write our laws. The president can veto legislation passed by Congress. … 4.) The DSA platform wants to replace the Supreme Court with a new system in which Congress chooses the judges and has authority over the courts.” (11/03/26)

“Tennessee National Guard troops in Memphis last summer trained their handguns on a man as he lay dying on a sidewalk after a guard member shot him in the back, video released Monday by county prosecutors shows. A Memphis police officer can be heard in the footage from an officer’s body camera calling for an ambulance and then asking the troops, ‘Hey, you guys got a medical kit or anything?’ … [Tyrin] Johnson, 20, who had been armed, died at the scene from a single gunshot wound, according to investigators. An autopsy report shared by Johnson’s family found that he was shot in the back, contradicting police and National Guard accounts that said he was facing the guard members with a gun when they fired at him.” (11/03/26)
