If you put ten children in a room with a single large red button that launches all nukes, it would be a genuine threat to humanity. But it doesn't mean children are a human extinction risk. It means the person who puts them near the nuke button is a human extinction risk.

We've got a Muslim man running the most multicultural city in the world and making space for all the people in it. That's what cultural victory over fundamentalism looks like, it's a shame that there's a part of the population that couldn't identify a cultural victory if it slapped them in the face.

The idea that Trump is even somewhat unpopular let alone genuinely toxic is one that the entirety of American political media just refuses to contemplate and I’m curious whether the Midterms change that (My guess: only if Dems take the Senate)

NEW: DHS is proposing to scrap the 60-day grace period that lets certain foreign workers stay in the country legally after losing their job while they look for new work or prepare to leave. Under the new rule, their legal status would end the moment the job that brought them here does.

Federal Register notice from USCIS and DHS. It is a notice of proposed rulemaking to remove regulations at 8 CFR 214.1(l)(2), ending the up-to-60-day grace period for certain nonimmigrants after their employment ends. The summary explains that the change ties nonimmigrant status directly to the specific job or activity that justified the person's admission. Comments are due by November 10, 2026.

NEW: The League of Women Voters of Massachusetts-led group of organizations has also filed their brief in opposition to DOJ's stay request at SCOTUS over the new USPS mail ballot rule. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/26...

INTRODUCTION
The United States Postal Service (USPS) seeks to impose unprecedented
eleventh-hour requirements on mail ballots that dictate how states administer mail
voting. If states do not or cannot comply, USPS will refuse to deliver their ballots—
even though states are required by their own laws to mail those ballots to millions of
voters now and in the coming days. No federal statute gives USPS that power, and
the Constitution assigns the Executive Branch no role in prescribing the manner of federal elections. Yet, at the President's direction, USPS rushed to adopt these requirements just days before the start of mail voting for the November 3, 2026 elections. See Ballot Mail for Federal Elections, 91 Fed. Reg. 54966 at 54990-91 (Aug.
26, 2026) (88 705.24.3, 705.24.5) (Rule); Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections, 91 Fed. Reg. 17125 (Mar. 31, 2026) (Executive Order or Order). USPS's Rule gives states mere weeks to implement sweeping changes to their election systems even though USPS has not yet established the necessary
infrastructure to administer its new requirements. The Rule would disrupt the
administration of mail voting mid-election and disenfranchise eligible voters
nationwide, including voters in all-mail states like Colorado and Utah and elderly,
rural, and disabled voters who must vote by mail.

Congress went out of its way to say we can't risk a single district court judge going crazy on redistricting cases, so they go to special three-judge panels only. Judge Clark is flagrantly breaking that law by refusing to convene a three-judge court in the Missouri case. That is not discretionary.
