A federal judge struck down a Trump administration ban on issuing immigrant visas to people from 75 countries, but immigrants continue to be stuck in their countries. Attorneys say the federal government is slow-walking the processing of visas on purpose. n.pr/4i89mYP

I highly recommend reading this article by Michael @mcfaulmike.bsky.social The former U.S. Ambassador to Russia makes a point I fully agree with: "Helping Ukraine as it fights for its independence and against Russian occupation is not just the right thing to do;it’s also the pragmatic thing to do

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...

DEEP DIVE is up! How the Star Tribune turned Republican “Somali gangs” rhetoric into an election-year crime narrative—and helped give demands for expanded local, state, and federal enforcement the authority of news.

This is a reminder of the ways in which you can influence betting markets with fake scams, at a time where big news outlets like CBS News are incorporating these markets into their coverage and graphics.
We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

UPDATE: I found Wedgewood’s Kalshi account. He goes by Andrew and has been insider trading using the fake polls that he was posting. I reported this to Kalshi, hope they do something about it @gelliottmorris.com

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

They both did it, it was a joint effort, it’s one of the crazier things to happen in the national security space (which is really saying something) and every government should be scrambling to reduce dependence on—and as soon as possible get off—Starlink/shield or any Musk product, including the US.
BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

I remember Senator Lieske churlishly whining during floor session about not getting named when they listed the doctors in the MN Senate. It’s because chiros don’t have to learn stuff like the difference between varicella and measles, or between good parenting and deliberately making your kids sick.
Minnesota Republican state Sen. Bill Lieske: "Back in the day when the measles vaccine didn't exist, measles was a joke! ... yes, there are increases cases. How many of those are actually resulting in deaths? Are they just going home with the sniffles? Back in the day, people had measles parties."

I've convicted over 350 fraudsters, one every 8 days. Ron knowingly took donations from fraudsters who stole $1.6 million from the government. Who do you think is really serious about fighting fraud?

In recent election questionnaires, House Speaker Lisa Demuth said she voted to cap the price of insulin for Minnesotans. But in both 2019 and 2023, Demuth, alongside nearly every other Minnesota Republican, voted against measures that would reduce insulin prices.

Imagine if a crib that sometimes collapsed while a baby slept inside was treated as an impossible to predict feature of the emergent complexity of cribs and therefore we decided nothing could be done.
They weren’t acting on their own. They were doing what their negligent creators designed them to do.

We've seen what Trump's government coming to the "rescue" looks like. It ended with two Minnesotans shot dead by federal agents, racial profiling, assaults, and the violation of our rights. Never again. If Trump tries, I'll drag him back to court.
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!"
