Surveys show Democratic Senate candidates tied or leading in Alaska, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas. Democrats’ lead on the generic congressional ballot has slightly widened, according to analyst Nate Silver’s polling average. wapo.st/4zqdk53

What a damning report of the economic destruction ICE has left in its wake—recession-like conditions for local economies, small businesses forced to shutter, and a rise in unemployment. ICE must be reined in and held accountable. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/07/i...

ICE came to town and left behind weakened economies
Research links ICE enforcement surges to lasting declines in local spending, foot traffic and jobs. In Minneapolis, businesses are still recovering.

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

Don't think the people should be allowed to protest against you? Then just put a fence around the public spaces where they go to do it and lock them out. Every dictator knows this trick, right? It's easier to get away with than just shooting them.

As the Supreme Court said of Lafayette Park, "Although originally part of the White House grounds, President Jefferson set it aside as a park for the use of residents and visitors" and is in fact "visited by vast numbers of visitors from around the country" and the DC area.
Screenshot from the US Supreme Court case Clark v Community for Creative Non-Violence: "The network of National Parks includes the National Memorial-core parks, Lafayette Park and the Mall, which are set in the heart of Washington, D.C., and which are unique resources that the Federal Government holds in trust for the American people. Lafayette Park is a roughly 7-acre square located across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. Although originally part of the White House grounds, President Jefferson set it aside as a park for the use of residents and visitors. It is a "garden park with a . . . formal landscaping of flowers and trees, with fountains, walks and benches." National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, White House and President's Park, Resource Management Plan 4.3 (1981). The Mall is a stretch of land running westward from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial some two miles away. It includes the Washington Monument, a series of reflecting pools, trees, lawns, and other greenery. It is bordered by, inter alia, the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art. Both the Park and the Mall were included in Major Pierre L'Enfant's original plan for the Capital. Both are visited by vast numbers of visitors from around the country, as well as by large numbers of residents of the Washington metropolitan area."

CIDRAP has been instrumental in keeping factual info available to the public since the collapse of CDC under RFK Jr. They send timely newsletters. People need to fully understand the risks in not taking vaccines. I still hear people say they stopped flu vaccines because it “gave them the flu.”

When I was 67, I asked my dr if he thought my measles vax was still effective, and considering I was vaxxed in the 1960's, he thought that was a good question. He ordered a blood lab for me. My vax is still protecting me. For those seeking "miracles..." vaccines ARE your miracle. VACCINATE.
