This is a better epilogue to my January story about the private equity firm profiting off of ICE's cruelest flights than I could have ever possibly hoped for. CHICAGO: You went to the mat and protected (at a minimum!) thousands of immigrants from torture. Take a bow. prospect.org/2026/10/02/i...

In Chicago, progressive alderpeople held up a contract until a private equity firm was forced to dispatch Omni Air International, protecting thousands of immigrants from deportation.

And I blame Republican Senator Bill Cassidy for measles deaths in Pennsylvania and everywhere else. He had ample opportunity to block RFK Jr.’s confirmation but he told Senator Tillis, and I quote, to “see how it plays out”. Well, Cassidy, how is this playing out for ya?

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.

According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."

Holy cow. This may not be a permanent victory, but my god it’s a victory! Omni hasn’t flown for ICE for months. And I heard there was a big layoff last week. Now we can say for certain it was due to the negotiations between Stonepeak and the Chicago alders. Wowowow. news.wttw.com/2026/09/15/d...

They've known for almost 100 years that they were causing climate change. We, as a public consuming oil and gas, have known that we were causing climate change and we have done nothing to put pressure on our legislators to solve this existential crisis. The enemy is us.

But I need to warn you against three attitudes I’m picking up among Democrats and progressives that frankly worry me. The first is complacency. Some people tell me that Democrats are “sure” to take the House and have a “good chance” to take the Senate.

Ahmed Soliman has been held by Equatoguinean police for two days now. His US lawyers tell me they still don’t know where he is, but they believe he and another third-country national taken with him are alive, and that they are being denied food and water.

OBL succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. The US is now consumed by a paramilitary criminal organization that GWB justified with 9/11. We willingly gave up our civil liberties in return for a veneer of safety. Two foreign wars that meant no gains domestically. Really remarkable.
