Yesterday afternoon, ICE agents — who did not present a warrant, and who appear to have been disguised as construction workers — fired 7 shots into a car with a 5-year-old child, hitting Oscar Belgal in the neck.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Collins has his head down through all of this, presumably mapping out what he’ll be doing as a private citizen next year

OSSOFF: Mike Collins is one of the most extreme members of Congress. He's a Trump puppet election denier. I want to hear if Mike still believes the 2020 election was stolen. What do you say Mike? COLLINS: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

🪪 With less than a month until Election Day, New Hampshire voters still don’t have a clear answer on what IDs are acceptable for voting. The state wants to fully enforce its ban on using student IDs to vote — and students already face a variety of obstacles to casting their ballots ⬇️

@timmiller.bsky.social on Laura Loomer and Randy Fine’s increasingly explicit anti-Muslim rhetoric, and why Republicans should have to answer for it: "It's hard to imagine a congressperson saying, calling out mainstream Jews, 'Speak up about the Jewish takeover of America or lose the midterms.'"

Mark Carney: "In recent days. the US proposed new terms that were uneconomic, unfair, and undermine the net benefits for Canada, and called into question the reliability of any deal. In short, they asked too much and they offered too little ... You're at war when you get attacked. We got attacked."

I'm grateful to the FBI and the New York State Police for their swift action to protect New Yorkers and thwart this alleged attack on the New York State Capitol in Albany.   While there is no immediate threat, we will remain vigilant and continue to keep New Yorkers safe.

Psaki: Why do you think Mike Rogers is so far refusing to agree to a date for this debate? El-Sayed: I mean, I hate to say it, he’s a coward. Rogers the Dodger does not want to actually debate because he knows that he’s an empty suit with no new ideas

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
