The New York Times asks the RNC for crowd sizes for Trump's events. Rather than provide numbers, the RNC issues a meaningless statement, and the NYT prints it! Why would the RNC answer a reporter’s questions when the NYT is willingly to reprint Republican propaganda instead?
Natalie Baldassarre, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, responded to a request for crowd sizes at each event by saying on Sunday that the rallies were “drawing some of our highest ticket demands to date,” adding that “our Republican candidates will continue to build off this momentum and drive voters to the polls as we approach Election Day.”

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

We desperately need a truth and reconciliation commission. It’s not simply about accountability, which may be stymied by Trump pardons. It’s about fully understanding and processing how far we fell as a nation, accepting that we put our faith in the wrong people, and knowing to never do it again.

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.

NEW: Attorneys for CNN/MSNOW ask for emergency court hearing, arguing their journalists are still being denied access to White House 1/
A screenshot of the first page of a federal court filing titled, in bold and underlined text, “REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE HEARING.” The document is in a case against “Donald J. Trump, et al.”

The filing says that earlier that morning, the court issued a Temporary Restraining Order directing defendants, except President Trump, to “immediately return, reinstate, and restore” White House hard-pass press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked on or around September 18, 2026.

The plaintiffs state that despite the order, journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO attempted to enter the White House that morning and were turned away. The filing alleges that Secret Service agents also confiscated hard passes from journalists whose passes had not previously been taken. It specifically says plaintiff Betsy Klein, whose hard pass had been confiscated on September 19, requested its return but was denied and refused access to the White House complex.

The filing emphasizes urgency because CNN is scheduled to serve as the television pool for President Xi Jinping’s visit to the White House that evening. It concludes by stating that plaintiffs’ counsel contacted defense counsel that morning and asked to call the court together, but defense counsel had not responded. Page number “1” appears centered at the bottom.

Free journalist Luis Galeano from ICE detention! www.freepress.net/download/coa...
Top of letter: Press-Freedom Coalition Sounds Alarm on ICE Detention of Asylum-Seeking Journalist Luis Galeano, Calls for His Immediate Release September 18, 2026 We, a coalition of 15 civil-society and press-freedom organizations, condemn the arrest and detention of renowned Miami-based journalist Luis Galeano by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). We urge his immediate release and for his pending asylum case to proceed.  Galeano was detained on September 14, 2026, while working as a rideshare driver to support his primary role as director of the news outlet Café con Voz. Galeano came to the United States in 2018, having been exiled from Nicaragua after the Ortega-Murillo regime stripped nearly a hundred journalists of their Nicaraguan citizenship as penalty for covering the totalitarian tactics of the Nicaraguan government. Galeano’s reporting in Nicaragua consistently elevated the human rights abuses of the Sandinista government. Since arriving in the United States, Galeano has conducted Spanish-language reporting for Miami and wider communities throughout Florida. He has a Social Security number and a work permit, with a pending asylum case filed nearly seven years ago. The U.S. government’s targeting and detention of Galeano are a troubling escalation of attacks on journalists and media workers, particularly immigrant journalists, who consistently provide much-needed journalism and civic information for their communities.  In the case of Galeano, there are severe dangers should the U.S. government seek to ignore his asylum case and move to deport him. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) withdrew temporary protected status (TPS) for Nicaraguan immigrants starting in July 2025. That would mean any unfounded punitive actions taken against Galeano that might lead to his deportation could very well place him in dire circumstances upon return to Nicaragua, where he was a vocal leader in the press community advocating for human rights.
