Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

The political ads in the Georgia governor’s race have taken an interesting turn. It’s like Brian Kemp is running for a 3rd term. Where in the world is Slick Rick Jackson? He’s silent and in the background, or absent entirely, from his own ads. He’s not popular and he knows it.

All but one of the victims sustained gunshot wounds as boy faces 11 charges of attempted second-degree murder

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

DON’T BE AFRAID, BE PREPARED. AG Todd Blanche was asked a simple question: Will the DOJ try to block states from certifying election results? He couldn’t give a simple NO. Instead, he left the door open to hypothetical scenarios. @marcelias.bsky.social

After 13 months in ICE detention, Rev. Edward Nalwamba was so weak he had to be carried out when he was finally released. A federal judge found ICE didn’t even have a concrete plan to deport him. Thirteen months of his life. Despicable. #SheShed

The best is yet to come!!!

Now do “Ambassador” Kushner.

‼️ Heads up Tennessee Dems‼️ Some resources for you.

I really hope that @barackobama.bsky.social does bigger rallies until Election Day for all the Senate Democrat candidates, in larger and larger venues. I would to love to see the orange one’s head explode when Obama crowds dwarf empty MAGA seats. The narcissistic injury would be satisfying.

DOJ filed a notice of appeal of its TRO request in the US v. CA "likely noncitizens" voting case today. Below is what DOJ's Julie Hamill wrote, including asserting that "the Court's silence is a constructive denial" of the request — while ignoring Carter's 10/21 order setting a hearing for 10/27:

Rubio, today: "I’m not aware that we knew about this decision beforehand. I certainly – but it’s irrelevant. The bottom line is that .. is governed by a private commercial contract as to the – how their stuff can be used and what speeds they allow it to be used at." www.state.gov/releases/off...

Breaking: Public Citizen submitted a Freedom of Information Act asking for all communication between the Department of Homeland Security and Meta regarding the No Kings Movement.

This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness. Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

2 weeks before Election Day, in the middle of hurricane season. Genius.

“No one has ever seen an American president become an enemy of America,” says David Rothkopf. “Trump is aiding Russia who is funding Iran that is killing our troops.”

NEW: The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now.

"I Believed American Healthcare Was the Best in the World. Then I Did the Math" Yale epidemiologist @Alison_Galvani anticipated a hefty price tag for Medicare for All. But she found that we are already paying more than enough right now to cover the cost of universal healthcare.

Georgia: 40% increase in first-day turnout compared with the 2022 midterms, and more than double the first-day participation seen during the 2018 midterms. "Early ballots in North Carolina and Maine are up 38% from the last midterms, while Iowa has seen a 61% increase" www.kark.com/news/early-v...

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social @keishaforga.bsky.social @lastwordmsnow.bsky.social Keisha’s interview needs to be shared widely. Looking forward to getting some clips to work with!

Great interview w/ Keisha Lance Bottoms by Jonathan Capehart on The Last Word tonight. Appreciated the focus on my hometown of Dalton. I didn’t realize 20% of Whitfield County is on Medicaid. Keisha has a good grasp of Whitfield County issues, including PFAS pollution. Vote for Keisha, Dalton!
