Zelenskyy: While our teams are meeting in Florida, US President is having conversation with Kremlin leader responsible for this war. I believe they are simply using our team as a cover...clearly not acting in good faith as a partner. And this, in my view, is a weak decision from strong partners.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

Ward 8 News from Council Member Soren Stevenson
October 8th, 2026

Dear neighbors,

The City Council is preparing to amend and adopt a City Budget for 2027. The 2027 Budget proposed by Mayor Frey in August includes cuts to many programs that our communities rely on while increasing the budget for the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) by more than $20 million.

We can recognize that the City is facing real fiscal challenges while rejecting false austerity. These narratives are being used as a pretext for cuts to programs communities rely on, all while allowing MPD to have an ever ballooning budget that goes unchecked year after year.

Fiscal responsibility doesn’t look like just cutting across the board. It means examining every major area of city spending, identifying inefficiencies and measurable outcomes, and ensuring every tax dollar the City spends actually improves residents’ lives or enhances a public good.

MPD has gone $20 million over budget two years in a row, and MPD leaders have publicly admitted that there has been mismanagement of overtime. Earlier this year, both the Commissioner of Community Safety and the Chief Operating Officer both publicly stated they were unaware of this overspending for nearly all of 2025. Earlier this year, when ICE invaded our city, our communities stepped up to protect our neighbors while the MPD did little to nothing to keep us safe yet still got millions in overtime compensation. It is not fiscally responsible to increase MPD’s budget by $20 million when it is widely known that mismanagement of MPD is fueling unnecessary costs that are not meaningfully improving public safety.

The budget is funded by working people, and they deserve accountability and oversight of how their money is spent. This year, the Board of Estimate and Taxation, the body that sets the maximum tax levy, made it clear that unchecked police overspending needed to be meaningfully addressed. The City Council has…

My gosh. Mike Huckabee's top aide: —Covered up an embassy report on Israeli killings of 9 Americans —Fabricated Orwellian reports on Israeli settler violence & the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" to make it sound good for Israel —Questioned staff on whether they were “pro-Israel” or “pro-Hamas”

In late March, at the height of the Iran war, Israel quietly approved more settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank than it ever had at one time.
Staff members at the United States Embassy in Jerusalem saw the move as potentially flouting one of President Trump's explicit red lines for Israel - no annexation of the West Bank - and drafted an urgent report intended for policy makers in Washington.
That memo never reached Washington. It was quashed by David Milstein, a top aide to Ambassador Mike Huckabee, according to three U.S. officials briefed on the process.
This was no isolated incident.
Since taking up his post in April 2025, Mr. Milstein, 36, has repeatedly suppressed or significantly revised embassy reporting on Israeli activities to present the Netanyahu government in a favorable light, according to a dozen people who work with or interact with Mr. Milstein in both Jerusalem and Washington:
• As settler violence in the West Bank surged in the spring, for instance, he stymied embassy reporting suggesting that the Israeli government was failing to take action, according to the three officials. Instead the embassy sent a cable to Washington, viewed by The New York Times, praising Israel for "cracking down" on the attacks.
• When members of Congress pushed for accountability over the killings of nine Palestinian Americans by Israeli settlers and security forces, he suppressed a detailed report that the embassy staff had written, effectively stonewalling lawmakers' efforts to gain information, according to multiple officials briefed on the matter.

Mr. Milstein rewrote the cable to declare GHF's operation a success while overlooking the mass casualties, according to people who saw the cable and were briefed on the editing process.
Troubled by glaring discrepancies between news coverage and the embassy's official reports, White House and State Department officials seeking a clearer picture of events bypassed standard channels at least twice to communicate directly with embassy staff, according to two officials briefed on the outreach and an internal communication from late this summer seen by The Times.
Veteran American diplomats said that withholding or twisting the information sent to Washington should raise serious concerns.
"The embassy ought to tell Washington everything — the good, the bad and the ugly," said Dan Kurtzer, who was the U.S. ambassador to Israel under President George W. Bush. "If they're not doing so, they are damaging the policy-making process and possibly undermining the president's policies."
Mr. Milstein also questioned several colleagues on whether they were "pro-Israel" or "pro-Hamas," according to four officials, who found the question inappropriate and said it made some people fearful of speaking freely.

Do Trump aides take three days to debate whether he means to destroy blue cities or prevent Iran from doing so, too? I mean, he literally did set out to destroy Los Angeles. He used paramilitaries, not nukes. But he did set out to destroy it.
