In the midst of a government shutdown, as masked ICE agents roam America’s cities with impunity, with lines at food banks across the country growing, and farmers at risk as America bails out Argentina instead…

Donald Trump threw a Roaring 20s/Great Gatsby themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago.

What categories of crime? Are white collar crimes included? Financial crimes? Nonpayment of contracted fees and charges for BS reasons? Domestic violence (whether charges were filed by the victim or not)?

I would guess those are definitely up.

Usurpation of power, not expansion. It is illegal for the President to expand his powers past what is legal per the Constitution.

it was 19 degrees in MO, KS, NE, other coop states. We have to stop agreeing to furnish anything for Texans who avoid using their God-given brains to figure out how to pay for current and future energy needs. I’m sure some believe God answered their prayers then but it was their pragmatic neighbors.

3. I worry the same people axing food security for millions are planning to do likewise with utilities.

I also worry they might use brownouts as coercion in January and February, or send our coop power down to Texas, as they did the last time TX screwed up their grid. Yes, it was cold in TX, but

Ever been to the US Open or Super Bowl??All those advance teams are in town for 2 weeks+. Plus the T admin is going to want TV time, prob arrest people they pretend to believe are illegals. Deploy Nat’l Guard, army? It will be crazy without the WH creating intentional chaos.

2. FBI is training PD/FD in World Cup host cities. Who is training the citizenry? State, county and city officials are walking around with $$ in their eyes: Bars open 23 hours/day, pop up STR’s everywhere, an NFL stadium full of fans every match. Who is looking out for everyday workers in each site?

Thoughts:
1. Remember that Kazaht/Russian mercenary caught trying to enter the US last year? Wonder what he’s up to now. Probably a simple day job like, oh, nail salon owner, while he trains pardoned J6er’s. Something where he could look the part.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

Toxic Wastewater From Oil Fields Keeps Pouring Out of the Ground. Oklahoma Regulators Failed to Stop It.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, is spewing from old wells. Experts warn of a pollution crisis spreading underground and threatening Oklahoma’s drinking water.

It's ridiculous to interview Dan Brown about the Louvre heist on CBS News.

Who you want to talk to is Nicolas Cage. He has much more experience in these sorts of things.

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

(Exclusive.) Bari Weiss this week clocks up four weeks on the job as chief booker (sorry, editor-in-chief) of CBS News. Breaker hears that she has unimpressed staffers with a series of bold ideas in the 9 am call.

Last week, following the jewel heist at The Louvre, Weiss suggested they interview author Dan Brown. Staffers questioned what expertise in the matter Brown would provide CBS News viewers? Brown is well known as the bestselling author of the 2003 mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code, about a murder at The Louvre.

On Tuesday’s 9 am call, Weiss suggested a story about how people who are scared of climate change aren’t having children. “She is showing her worst self,” one CBS News journalist told Breaker. “People are running to avoid her.”

Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid.

Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

Trump and Texas MAGA get a win by cutting SNAP, which has always been their objective as noted in Project 2025. 3.5M will be impacted and 1.7M kids in Texas will be impacted!

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Jonathan Metzl’s “Dying of Whiteness” + current media situation—Sinclair and Bonneville TV and radio, fox “news” running in a majority of homes and provided free to building public spaces: hospital, medical waiting rooms, gyms, airports, is why “my dad voted Republican” may never learn any better.

Davids: I’ve heard some of my Republican colleagues encourage Donald Trump to be transparent about this idea of importing beef from Argentina. I’ll just say this — we don’t need transparency to know this policy is garbage. We need to be supporting American ranchers, farmers, and this ain’t it.
