it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

Very weird goings on in Bolivia this morning, as local press says the Trump administration is reaching to extreme measures to shut down the criminal probe into Fernando Cerimedo and Brad Parscale and their operation MAGA SUR. No press coverage of any of this in US corporate media, of course.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

Despite 1st Circuit's 9/18 ruling invalidating DHS's 3d-country removal policy, DHS claims the decision hasn't yet taken effect. Class counsel fears a flight will take class members to Burundi, Rwanda, & Central African Republic *tomorrow.* Asks 1st Cir for emergency action.
Plaintiffs-Appellants seek an emergency order clarifying that this
Court's September 18, 2026 decision is in effect as binding precedent and that this Court's March 16, 2026, stay "pending appeal" has been dissolved
now that the Court has issued its decision and judgment. In the alternative,
Plaintiffs-Appellants request the Court either issue an order lifting the
March 16, 2026 stay or issue the mandate. Emergency action is needed because Plaintiffs-Appellants have learned that Defendants-Appellees are proceeding with removing class members to third countries in Africa,
pursuant to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidance which
this Court found unlawful and set aside, tomorrow. In response to an email
from class counsel, Defendants-Appellees' counsel confirmed in a 5:14 p.m.

the mandate is issued. Exhibit A. In addition, counsel for Defendants-
