"Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

Also, more and more reports are confirming what should have been admitted for years. The Trump administration has business deals ready to go with Putin, once they can bully the Ukrainians into surrendering more of their land and people. This is the real Trump/Kushner win-win.

“My party is being infiltrated by people like Bo French,” Rove said. “Nick Fuentes goes to Dallas and meets with a bunch of Republican leaders. This guy is a Nazi. We’ve got all these people getting on their little podcasts and so forth, saying: ‘We’re just asking questions about the Jews.’”

Once again, I ask why the New York Times & every other media outlet immediately & instinctively reports on the 🇩🇪 AfD as a “far right” or “extremist” party but does not regularly cover the 🇺🇸 Republican Party as such: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 2d ago

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

Ukrainians and Canadians are strong and united while Britons and Americans are weak and divided. This is the context of Russia's global war against the West. 2/2

The Trump administration paid for TV ads showing the president in a favorable light using money intended for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, an official confirms to NBC News.

Pro-Trump TV advertisements paid for with Customs and Border Protection money, official says

The ads, which the White House has described as “public service announcements,” drew bipartisan criticism for being paid for with taxpayer money.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president — let's say Al Gore, to give ourselves a giggle — refusing to approve a single highway project for almost two years, and the absolute hellfire that would erupt in response _across_ the political landscape.

617 days into his 2nd term, Trump's Department of Transportation has *still* not approved a single new transit project for full funding. The problems I highlighted in March—how this lack of funding only makes projects cost more & delays completion—have only worsened www.urban.org/urban-wire/r...

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

This merger strikes a chilling blow against that freedom — and hands even more power to billionaires like David Ellison to decide what Americans see and hear, all while lifting scrutiny off the federal leaders who pushed it through.

I am grateful to Attorney General Tish James for the protections she secured for workers. This decision is a shameful monument to corruption and a betrayal that the American people won't soon forget.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

There is nothing “hybrid” about the Moscow empire’s war against the West. It is war. It is global war. It is World War III. If Ukraine continues to be the only fighting defender of the West – as it has been for more than 12 years – then our civilization will fall.

Aleksandr Ovechkin is a fanatical follower of Putin and propagandist for Russia's genocidal war on Ukraine. The Washington Capitals and the NHL are normalizing the murder of Ukrainians and destroying the bonds of humanity that keep the world together. This statement is a lie.
