Human Rights Groups Ask UN Panel to Help End ICE’s ‘Enforced Disappearances’ of Noncitizens | “Disappearing people into a network of remote detention sites, hiding their whereabouts, and cutting off their access to outside help is the definition of an enforced disappearance.”

Wow! Schmitt didn’t just get it wrong, his team was warned the texts were unvetted, but he used them anyway. Not only that, Chuck Grassley’s Judiciary staff left the texts out of its own hearing memo. Schmitt’s team went digging for them, then used them to accuse Jack Smith of perjury.

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

I’m spitballing here, but: “Petrol thieves” sent to scout base and get information on surveillance/response times. Trump’s “they wanted to do big damage” comment could be a lie, but could be a leak of a classified assessment referring to the actual would-be attackers, not the recon element.

This morning's softer PCE inflation numbers appear to have changed the Fed debate. Futures markets reckon the chances of a pre-election hike have fallen sharply, although it remains a very real possibility.
Horizontal bar chart titled "October Fed decision odds: yesterday vs today" shows probability of different Federal Reserve rate decisions. Market expectations shifted dramatically overnight, with the odds of no change plummeting from 57% to 29%, while the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike surged from 43% to 71%. This 28 percentage point swing transforms a rate increase from a minority view to the clear consensus expectation for the October Fed meeting.

It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.
