Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

Your regular reminder that the job of an ICE officer is dramatically safer than the job of a regular cop, such that not a single ICE deportation officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1949 (and that was actually a stabbing inside an INS jail in Hawaii, not street enforcement).

In covering the decision to livestream a public execution, the New York Times accurately compares Pentagon officials to ISIS www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u...

Pentagon officials said on Thursday that the Army officer convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting would be executed in public, a practice that ended in the United States nearly a century ago and is most commonly carried out in a handful of countries, including Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan.

The Pentagon said in a statement that the military execution, scheduled for Dec. 3, would also be broadcast via livestream. Such a broadcast has little precedent, and releasing video of executions is most often associated with extremist militant groups like the Islamic State.

Ossoff: "If you want to understand whether the Trump-Collins budget has helped you, just go fill up a tank of gas. Go to the grocery store. Try to buy food for you kids. Look at your electric bill. Look at your health insurance premiums. They've doubled for more than a million Georgians."

Later, he claimed Mamdani never commented about the recent stabbing of an NYPD detective. Mamdani talked about the stabbing several times, including the below statement where the mayor notes he visited the injured officer:

Earlier today, an off-duty NYPD detective was stabbed several times in the Bronx during what preliminary information indicates was an attempted robbery.

I visited the detective and his family at Jacobi Hospital with Police Commissioner Tisch.

He is thankfully in stable condition, and I am hoping for his quick and complete recovery. I am confident that the NYPD will identify and apprehend the suspects and that the people responsible will be held to account.

Judge Sorokin orders vindictive-selective prosecution discovery & disclosure of grand jury minutes for Ksenia Petrova, the frog embryo researcher. "Credible showing [she] was prosecuted due to her status as Harvard-affiliated researcher & J1 visa holder." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They, in turn, reproduce under-oath statements made by a longtime customs
attorney in Petrova's federal habeas proceedings, which also concerned the events at issue in this
case. Doc. No. 45 at 13. The attorney had provided a sworn declaration attesting that, during his thirty-five-year career, he was not aware of any person having been prosecuted for smuggling without having been processed by customs officers for a "failure to declare" violation, nor could
he recall ever seeing smuggling charges brought for failing to declare a research sample
regardless of the traveler's willfulness. Id.; Doc. No. 67 at 22 (quoting same declaration). In the
circumstances presented, the foregoing suffices to satisfy Petrova's burden of supplying "some
evidence" of discriminatory effect as the relevant caselaw requires. The cited declaration
comprises a credible showing that Petrova was prosecuted due to her status as a Harvard-affiliated researcher and J-1 visa holder-
facts which "some evidence" before the Court also
shows placed her in the crosshairs of those presently controlling the Executive Branch. E.g., Doc. No. 67-2 (referencing visa and "educated individuals with a pedigree"); Doc. No. 67-4 at 5 (responding to "fake news" and mentioning Petrova's affiliation with Harvard); see also Doc.
No. 67 at 9-10 (describing context in which Petrova's case arose and actions targeting Harvard
and higher-education-related visa holders). The same declaration also credibly shows that other
travelers who have willfully failed to declare research samples or similar items but were not
Harvard-affiliated visa holders were not treated the same way.

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.
