Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

In 1940, the RCMP arrested members of Technocracy Inc, charging them with belonging to an illegal org. Joshua Norman Haldeman, a Regina chiropractor, one of those arrested, was the maternal grandfather of Elon Musk. Gleaned from reading Jill Lapore's The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State.

When small tribes keep losing, the vote is so predictable. I fast forward and lose interest. The added second vote advantage saved this weeks' episode from itself. Not a fan of three tribes. Must be a better way to mix it up. #survivor51

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

The publication features a collection of essays about how two technological revolutions have transformed our relationship to images. buff.ly/QL1iTo6

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

We are sensing a pattern

“We were micro-targeted and spam-botted, but-her-email’d and Comey-memo’d into installing a Russian mole in the White House, while our national security experts—the journalists & academics, intel professionals & advisors—dismissed the threat entirely or, at least, did not take it seriously enough.”

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Jackie Kennedy’s legacy of preserving and protecting the White House is being destroyed by the very people entrusted with its stewardship, as grift takes precedence over history and public trust. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

ICE has disclosed another detainee who died We know: -After 17yrs, he'd only ever been busted for... *an expired car tag.* He was in a camp run by for-profit w/ history medical neglect An American died at one of its jails *after strep-throat.* austinkocher.substack.com/p/julian-cur...

Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire is quietly shooting a pro-ICE movie that dramatizes the Renee Good killing. We got the script. My latest False Flag for @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/daily-wire...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. HAHAHAHAHAH. Eric Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of lying about going to an Atlanta Hawk's basketball game. Smith went to see the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Another huge loss. Annie Dillard #RIP www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...

BREAKING: Gloria Steinem, the potent voice of the U.S. women’s movement and a co-founder of Ms. Magazine, dies at 92.

how i be getting around in my car now that Apple Maps and Google Maps are dead to me

NEW: MapQuest is currently the number one navigation app on the Apple App Store, overtaking Google Maps thanks to Google's decision to follow Trump's lead in renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America.

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

goodbye Ms Dolly Parton - an absolute gem of a human and an enormous talent. with her sisters from 1970

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

Danny Leon timed a skateboard move with the total eclipse for a unique and viral moment for the ages.

The whole story about Ken Paxton, the stolen Mont Blanc pen, and a courthouse videotape, is just one wonderful detail after another. Here you go:

Thugs

If you wanted to fly Donald Trump out on a different plane without advanced warning to protect him, that would be one thing. But to put others on what you believed to be a targeted plane served only one purpose: To propagate and maintain a lie to assuage a single man’s ego.

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

Few days ago a massive and well coordinated campaign started in Moroccan Facebook/Instagram with message "Spain opened the borders, they let everyone in" The one responsible is unknown and even if we find the bot networks they might be 3rd world hires, a standard practice for many governments 🧵 1/6

Do you know what China's been doing while we've been dropping bombs and allocating more money for new weapons? Beating us on alternative energy, manufacturing, high speed rail, technology, microchips, and infrastructure.

Tom Cibrowski, Bari Weiss's soon to be fall guy deserves everything he gets for not standing up to her sooner.

Elon Musk trying to sink a Christopher Nolan movie was honestly the funniest and dumbest course of action he could have taken. He’s one of the most popular filmmakers alive and now it proves Elon and his fanboys have no real cultural impact outside of X

People don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into detention centers. They don't want billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a rogue police state. They want healthcare. They want affordable homes. They want their basic needs met.

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

The conduct depicted in this story—involving a storied Wall Street law firm—is astounding and appalling to me in so many ways I find it difficult to count.

ICE Agent is once again using excessive force If slamming a man’s face into a concrete wall isn’t assault, then attacking the guy that caught him on video is! Screen shot of agents face is in replies make sure everyone sees him!

CBS just keeps looking dumber. Boycott CBS. Bullshit propaganda variety.com/2026/tv/awar...

The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

Bari Weiss sidelines yet another 60 Minutes veteran in favor of her own pick, report says

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.
