Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Trump turns to Putin for help on energy prices ahead of the mid-term elections.
I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

An ICE official desposed for this case was so evasive during a deposition that the judge declared her not credible. At one point, when asked to give a rough estimate of how many people were being held at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC in June 2025, she responded with "there's no such thing as an average."
Despite these facts, ICE officials – particularly Zanello – at other points in this case have attempted to downplay the level of overcrowding that existed during the summer of 2025. As the day-to-day supervisor of the tenth-floor hold rooms who was present on the tenth floor on at least most days from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., she was quite evasive about how many people generally were held there at a time. [see Footnote 114 in next image] 

She would not provide even an estimate. In addition to her unbelievable claims that she could not recall approximately how many people were being held at any given time and that there is no such thing as an average number of people who were being heldFootnote 114: (“Q. Over the summer of 2025 while you were there . . . there were often 100 people held on the [tenth-]floor hold rooms at a time. Right? A. I would have to look at the day. Q. What is your best recollection as you sit here of the average number of people who [were] being held in the [tenth-]floor hold rooms in July 2025? A. There is no average that you can provide . . . . [T]he best I could do was a high and a low. Q. Okay. What’s the high and the low? A. I don’t know. Q. . . . [L]et’s take one time period each day. Let’s take noon . . . . What is your best recollection of how many people were being held there at noon in July? A. . . . . I would have to look at a specific date and time to give you that number . . . . Q. Okay. I’m asking you how many people do you recollect being held? A. It depends on the day. I would have to look at the day. Q. But you have no recollection of what the numbers were like as you sit here today under oath? A. It could have been zero. It could have been max. I don’t know. I would have to look at the day. Q. Okay. Give me a rough estimate of one of the most crowded days you can remember? A. I would have to look at the day. I’m not going to guess on a number. Q. Fair to say that at times there were more than a hundred people at a time? A. I would have to look at the day . . . . Q. But sitting here today you cannot even give a rough estimate of how many people were there? . . . . [A.]Footnote 14 continued.
