That $366 million Elon is spending to try and convince voters that Congress should stay Republican? It's more money than McCain's 2008 campaign spent. But it's also, relative to Musk's net worth, the same as a household at the median income spending $32.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid. No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.
Russell Stover has begun using prison labor to make candy in
Kansas
A Russell Stover candy factory in Kansas has begun hiring incarcerated workers through a work release program, Eoin Higgins reports in his newsletter, The Flashpoint. About 150 women are bussed in from the Topeka Correctional Facility and paid $14 an hour, but the prison keeps some of their wages for room and board, taxes, transportation, and other expenses. When all is said and done, they take home less than $6 per hour. These deductions are high, but elsewhere in the country, they're even higher: In our May series on prison

The charges, press releases & online amplification create the illusion that non-citizen voter fraud is widespread. This is a strategic, manufactured, false narrative. Statistics show non-citizen voting is extremely rare, & in the few cases that exist often results from confusion, not willful fraud.

Children living safely with families are being picked up by ICE and referred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which places them in shelters or foster care. These shelters were designed for new arrivals, not settled kids—and the children are struggling badly.

Rep. Magaziner (D-RI) asked Kristi Noem if DHS was deporting veterans. She said no. He had a deported veteran zooming into the hearing in real time and showed she was lying. To me, it was chilling. And a perfect action of a member of the minority in congress.
