Opinion by Martin Rosas: Lowering beef prices requires curtailing ICE activity in Kansas and elsewhere #ksleg

We're asking millions of Americans to be ready to mobilize in response to election disruption and subversion if needed.

I am not a believer in ghosts, but I was definitely somewhere historic in the twilight by myself where I felt the eyes of the past staring at me.

Deliver absentee ballots in person! Not enough time to mail them.

HUGE, GOOD NEWS: In total reversal from Friday’s stonewalling, perjury-flirting “status report,” ICE now says it has secured a one-way travel document so Ahmed Soliman can return to the US via a commercial flight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."

probably you shouldn’t say that yeah

Best Twitter riposte of the day. Virtually everything Elon says about Ukraine is false, or, as a White House staffer says today to the Economist, "it's as if he spoke to Putin first." And that, literally, is what he does.

Three times in the past two days, Elon Musk tweeted out "Live by the sword, die by the sword." He was responding to suggestions that he and his business interests will soon be facing a lot more scrutiny. Two of his three tweets were in response to us at The Bulwark.

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

In response to weaker demand Air Canada announced it will cancel 5 routes beginning in /27. Includes flights to Seattle, Nashville, RaleighDurham, Boston& Charleston Canadian travel to US has plunged after repeated threats of annexation by Trump & his trade war #Pinks globalnews.ca/news/1211323...

Immigration officials approved 173,000 people for citizenship through the first eight months of 2026, down 72 percent from last year. A sharp tapering off in naturalizations has left hundreds of thousands of immigrants waiting as midterms approach. https://wapo.st/4Bm1UAO

🔴 King County Elections confirms two bins with election ballots were found in a dumpster at Seattle’s Golden Gardens this week …. it recovered 92 ballots in total, and it has reissued all ballots to the respective voters.

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

NEWS: the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have unionized and the Cowboys have agreed to recognize the union

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Trump says he ordered the Justice Department lawsuit over Alaska's US Senate race: 'I'm the one that said do it.'

🧊✈️ The 5th Circuit is Texas, Louisiana & Mississippi, which explains why my ICE flight maps all look like this ⤵️

BREAKING: Fifth Circuit, on a 10-7 vote, says no bond hearing for detained immigrants pending removal proceedings, no matter how long they're detained — reversing panel decision and district courts. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

The Ukrainians literally just used tanks in their most recent counteroffensive lol

🧊 THEY LIED TO THE COURT ‼️ The Eastern 767 (N703KW) flight to Equatorial Guinea that ICE claimed in court was canceled – in order to avoid returning a wrongfully deported man – just landed in Malabo 👀

3 Mil transport planes making low passes and steep turns over I-29 before circling wide and landing at KCI. @jjindc.bsky.social

I am unsure how: 1) He was not prosecuted during the Biden administration. 2) He was ever allowed to work on behalf of the US government again in the second Trump term.

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...

She speaks Russian and is an interpreter. It does not mean she negotiated it.

The police officer who shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley outside a Walmart in Mississippi has resigned from the department

He knows not what he says, and vain is it That we present us to him.

BREAKING: Officials in the Ahmed Soliman case tell the court the government can’t return him to the US on the ICE flight I reported was scheduled to land there tomorrow because it has been canceled. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This totally isn't going to bite us
