[quote=Anonymous][b]Judge tells faux-tough-guy Border Patrol chief not to tear-gas trick-or-treaters.[/b]
“If you’d like a gauge of how far basic human decency has fallen under the Trump administration, consider this quote from a federal judge addressing the guy spearheading a violent crackdown on immigrants in Chicago.
“Kids dressed in Halloween costumes walking to a parade do not pose an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer,” U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said to Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino during an Oct. 28 hearing. “They just don’t. And you can’t use riot-control weapons against them.”
That seems correct. I don’t think there are too many Americans out there who would be in favor of masked federal agents/goons using riot-control weapons on trick-or-treaters. You’ve got to really hate Halloween ‒ and children ‒ to pull that kind of crap.”

[b]Project 2025 Has Stalled: Tracker[/b]
“According to the tracker, the rate at which the objectives outlined in the document have been implemented is now in decline. As per information provided by the tracker, between January and July, 13 objectives were completed on average per month. But since August, an average of one policy objective per month has been implemented.
Overall, Trump has enacted almost half of Project 2025 (48 percent) including budget cuts at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).”

[b]Republican Senators Strongly Rebuke Trump’s NATO Troop Withdrawal.[/b]
“Senior Republican lawmakers sharply criticized the Trump administration Wednesday for its decision to scale back U.S. troop deployments in Eastern Europe, calling it a dangerous signal to Moscow. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama, who chair the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, said they “strongly oppose” ending the Army’s rotational brigade in Romania.”

[b]Trump Nixing of Dem State Disaster Aid Backfires, Screwing MAGA Voters.[/b]
“In recent days, President Trump has approved federal disaster aid for the red states of Nebraska, North Dakota, Missouri, and Alaska while denying it to the blue states of Maryland, Vermont, and Illinois. The White House has not offered meaningful explanations for the discrepancies, which just happen to punish states that didn’t support him in 2024. But we noticed something interesting about this whole saga: In Maryland, the disasters and damage in question severely afflicted the state’s westernmost counties. Allegany and Garrett counties are in Appalachia, deep in Trump country: Both voted for Trump by at least 40 points.”

[b]RFK Jr. Admits He Doesn’t Have “Sufficient” Proof for Tylenol Claims.[/b]
““The causative association between Tylenol given in pregnancy and perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism, but it is very suggestive,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy’s comment came just one day after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Kenvue, Tylenol’s parent company, alleging that it failed to alert consumers that using its product during pregnancy posed a “significantly increased risk of autism” and ADHD. But that claim isn’t true by Kennedy’s own admission.”

[b]Retailers Exploiting US-China Trade War for Price Increases: Report.[/b]
“A new study has found that price increases implemented by companies during tit-for-tat trade escalation between the U.S. and China far exceeded the levels that the duties themselves would have justified.
The report from researchers at the marketing services agency Growth Bite found that prices rose significantly during the six-week period in April and May when both tensions and tariffs peaked—“weeks before any tariffed goods could reach store shelves.”

[b]‘We Deeply Regret These Errors’: DOJ Walks Back Key Evidence In Defense of Trump’s Portland Deployment.[/b]
In a letter to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Andrew Bernie, a DOJ attorney, said the Trump administration made several “errors” in describing how many special law enforcement officers it sent to Portland in response to protests outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the city.
The disclosure, which came in Portland and Oregon’s lawsuit against the deployment, marks a rare walkback from the DOJ that may damage its legal defense of Trump’s military intervention in the City of Roses.”

[b]Voters Challenge New York Congressional Map, Targeting GOP Seat.[/b]
“A group of Staten Island voters* filed a lawsuit in state court Monday arguing New York’s 2024 congressional map dilutes the voting power of Black and Latino residents in violation of state law. 
They’re seeking a redraw of New York’s Congressional District 11, which includes all of Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn, and is currently held by Republicans. If successful, the legal effort could give Democrats an additional seat in Congress — helping to counter a slew of recent pro-Republican gerrymanders in GOP-controlled states.”

[b]Judge Looks Set to Weaken Virginia Felony Disenfranchisement Law.[/b]
““We are encouraged by how the hearing went and are optimistic for a favorable ruling,” said Agraharkar. “A victory for the plaintiffs would strike down a lingering relic of Jim Crow in Virginia and would prove it’s never too late to right a wrong. More importantly, it would restore the right to vote to our plaintiffs and hundreds of thousands of additional eligible voters—including about 1 in 10 Black adults—who never should have been disenfranchised.”

“The Trump administration has ordered FBI employees to immediately search their workstations and digital media for any records pertaining to the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, two law enforcement sources told CNN.
The directive, which comes nearly a month into the federal government shutdown, is the latest in a series of highly unusual demands in recent months directing FBI employees to conduct priority searches for any files they may have on decades-old mysteries.”
