“Algeria decided to sever diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after what it described as the ‘exhaustion of all means to preserve bilateral ties’, Algerian state media said on Thursday. Algeria accused the UAE of ‘provocative and hostile acts’, without providing details in a statement released by the foreign ministry. … Shortly after Algeria’s announcement, Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, said on X that diplomatic relations should be based on ‘rationality, communication and clarity of interests’, rather than ‘riddles and signals that require decoding’.” (09/10/26)
“Across the country, a chilling shift is occurring. Political violence has become a twisted form of virtue signaling. Mahatma Gandhi is out and Luigi Mangione is in. For an increasing number of young people, nothing signals your values like a willingness to kill others for them. For decades, being nonviolent has been the touchstone for many on the left. Something is changing. On my campus and others around the country, students are rationalizing violence and even idolizing assassins.” (09/10/26)
“The city of Denver filed a lawsuit Thursday to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from going to voting sites. The lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Secretary Markwayne Mullin argues that ordering federal officers to carry out detainments and serve warrants violated the ‘troops at polls’ law. The troops at polls law, established by Congress during the Civil War, imposed fines and potential jail time for federal officers who show up to ‘any place where a general or special election is held, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States.'” (09/10/26)

“Anyone who thought Donald Trump was a fiscal conservative may want to reassess after his most recent promise he made during his Dallas trip earlier this week. At the September 9, 2026 Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, President Trump offered $5,000 to every adult American citizen if the Republicans keep power in the U.S. House and Senate from the November 2026 midterm elections. Trump’s promise, like many, lacks reality. He’s like every other politician buying votes, something Republicans accuse Democrats of doing frequently. And the math of his promise should scare all Americans, as Trump exposed his disdain for financial conservatism. With around 240 million adult American citizens, Trump’s ‘dividend’ would amount to around $1.2 trillion, when we are already running a deficit of TWO TRILLION DOLLARS a year.” (09/10/26)
“US wholesale inflation picked up more than expected in August, government data showed Thursday, driven by higher energy costs in the month – particularly for diesel – as the US war with Iran continued. Rising prices at the pump are squeezing US households and businesses weeks ahead of key midterm elections, pressuring President Donald Trump’s administration, as average diesel costs hit new highs. The Producer Price Index (PPI) was up 5.4 per cent year-on-year last month, the Department of Labour said. This was a significant acceleration from the 4.8 per cent rise in July and above the 5.3 per cent that economists expected in a consensus forecast published by MarketWatch.” (09/10/26)
“Many of the free speech fights today rest on the question: How do we protect kids online? But some of the battles over what can be said or shared on the internet are about protecting a remarkably less vulnerable — and significantly more powerful — group from so-called harm: public officials. One such case is in Australia, where top bureaucrat body the Secretaries Board is asking Parliament to cap politicians’ and parties’ ability to share and criticize clips of testimony from the very officials the board represents.” (09/10/26)
“One August day, immigration officials boarded a shackled South King County man on a flight leaving Boeing Field. The Colombian immigrant had been held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma and was suddenly told he was leaving. He was one of about 95 people U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement put on the flight — part of an unprecedented wave of transfers from the local [concentration camp] to [concentration camps] out of state. … In one week alone at the end of August, authorities boarded roughly 400 people on ICE flights leaving Boeing Field, formally known as King County International Airport, according to passenger numbers counted by a recently hired county staffer monitoring such flights. … The increase in flights comes as the federal government is planning for the Tacoma [concentration camp’s] future. ICE’s contract with the GEO Group, a national corporation that owns and runs the [concentration camp], runs out in late October.” (09/10/26)
