BREAKING: Two US federal judges have ruled that the Trump administration's decision to suspend food-aid benefits during the government shutdown is likely unlawful and officials must use contingency funding to make SNAP possible during this time.

Sen. Durbin isn’t taking Kristi Noem’s crap. Nor should he!

A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads:
“.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.”
It continues:
“Our @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offenders—that YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.”

Senator Dick Durbin posts:
“Your agents arrested a young cancer patient’s dad. She’d just returned from chemotherapy. No criminal record. Immigrants aren’t the threat here. You are.”
Below the tweet is a photo showing a man wearing a cap and an American flag t-shirt sitting next to a smiling young girl in a sombrero at a restaurant, with food and drinks on the table in front of them.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

This is an actual campaign ad by Andrew Cuomo.

It features an AI generated pregnant and feminized "bill."

ChatGPT is literally the last place one looks to find a "fact." If Cuomo or his team knew anything about AI, they should know that.

On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.

ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago for Halloween—and Parents Are Fighting Back

Fear and a whiff of tear gas hang over festivities this year. In response, even people who aren’t usually politically engaged are mobilizing.

The group chat pings around school drop-off and dismissal time. “All quiet at [Elementary School X],” one message says, or “smooth sailing at [Middle School Y].” Neighbors are on heightened alert because a federal government helicopter has been doing laps over our communities…

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?

NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Pathetic.
