Elvis-it's a nickname

Yes!!
My partner was saying this tonight! Can’t stand that the headlines are about gas prices & global markets and not people dying & being maimed.

WE make so much when gas goes up, don’t we? Woohoo!

Trump’s attack on Iran and the plot against your vote Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms.

As this war deepens, I suggest you read what I wrote about Donald Trump's plan to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

As an elder, I’m trying to understand. Does he think that companies that already give us “intelligence” (in exchange for ads & a shit-ton of personal data), on the internet that we already pay for, are going to go away?
What can’t I look up now? And I don’t need a machine to think or write for me.

Sorry, I laughed.

Self-described visionaries are never such.

Politico Europe: Iran had not posed a “direct threat” to Europe or the United States before the attacks by the U.S. and Israel earlier this month, Poland’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski said.

Thank you.

Balint, Sanders, Welch Statement on Recent ICE Operation in South Burlington: "President Trump’s domestic army, ICE, came into Vermont yesterday from out of state and, as is virtually always the case, acted in an irresponsible, reckless and unprofessional manner. What happened yesterday in South Burlington was outrageous and avoidable. Rather than notifying local and state law enforcement of a planned arrest, ICE created a crisis that resulted in them using flashbang grenades and tear gas against protestors. To make matters worse, they failed to arrest the person they were initially pursuing and instead arrested at least three individuals who were not named on the warrant. As a result of the reckless actions of ICE, local and state police were put in an impossibly difficult situation. At a time when our country is deeply divided, this is not the way a federal agency should be conducting itself. It is long past time for Congress to take action to rein in ICE’s lawlessness.”

We are still learning more, but here is my initial statement with Senators Sanders and Welch about what happened with ICE yesterday in South Burlington.

Florida Senate passes own version of anti-voting SAVE America Act The Florida bill is an attempt to impose the national SAVE America Act's severe voting restrictions on a state level.

If this is enacted, Florida will be sued.

"Florida lawmakers are poised to approve sweeping new restrictions that would require voters to prove their citizenship status, as well as remove student ID as an acceptable form of voter identification." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You’re amazing!

Republicans, please fund FEMA, without including more money for ICE. Break out ICE from the bill as Senator Murray has asked.

Uh oh, I’ve logged on with only 3 of your minutes left. Hope you had some tea. Or 15 min exercise & 15 min tea.

GOVERNMENT’S MOTION TO DISMISS THE INDICTMENT AS TO CATHERINE SHARP AND JOSELYN WALSH As the United States Attorney’s Office does in every case, the government has continued to evaluate new facts, evidence, and information to ensure that the interests of justice are served. Accordingly, the United States hereby moves to dismiss with prejudice the indictment against Catherine Sharp and Joselyn Walsh, in the interests of justice. Respectfully submitted, ANDREW S. BOUTROS United States Attorney

#BREAKING Federal prosecutors in Chicago drop charges against Catherine Sharp and Joselyn Walsh, two of the so-called "Broadview Six" ICE protesters who were indicted for conspiracy.

Just bc the words are lined up in a sentence does not make something real. “Dating an AI partner” is as real as dating a block of cheddar cheese.
They were interacting with a computer program designed to simulate a human. I’m not knocking it, but please let’s not call it dating. Or partner.

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

Sounds delish!
Wishing you well.

U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

It is unclear how it’s possible you can accidentally precision-bomb what the NYT reporting shows was for many years obviously and very clearly a *school*. That is one hell of a fucking accident. Where did the intelligence come from & why did we act on it like this?

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America? The AI surveillance state is real — and it's being built by Palantir.

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America.

Are any of the current vaccines reasonably effective against this variant?

UPDATE: DHS Deploys Special Operations After Multiple Violent Attacks on Federal Law Enforcement by Domestic Terrorists in Chicago Release Date: October 4, 2025 Three vehicles used as weapons against our brave law enforcement as they work without pay to make America safe again WASHINGTON – This morning, Border Patrol law enforcement officers were ambushed by domestic terrorists that rammed federal agents with their vehicles. The woman, Marimar Martinez, driving one of the vehicles, was armed with a semi-automatic weapon and has a history of doxxing federal agents. She took defensive fire from CBP agents and has been discharged from the hospital and is currently in the custody of the FBI. The driver of another vehicle, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, involved in the ramming has been apprehended by law enforcement.

Worth noting that the DHS press release falsely labeling Marimar Martinez a domestic terrorist is still live on the DHS website despite her lawyer's repeated attempts to have it taken down.

Bloomberg matches the @theguardian.com reporting from yesterday:

“.. Iran has told regional intermediaries that for a ceasefire, the US must guarantee that neither it nor Israel will strike the country in the future, according to several officials ..”

Body Cam Footage Raises Questions About ICE’s Account of Ruben Ray Martinez’s Fatal Shooting Footage adds to pattern of escalating use of force and secrecy that Mullin must address during confirmation following Noem departure

ICE didn’t publicly acknowledge its fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez until nearly a year later.

Now, body camera footage appears to contradict ICE’s account of the incident.

DHS must answer for its culture of secrecy and its lack of accountability.

Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

It was not enough for Elon Musk's minions to gut the Social Security Agency.

An ex-DOGE engineer allegedly took SSA's master databases of personal information to a job in the private sector.

DOGE was never about fighting fraud. It was about exposing Americans to more of it.

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans.

Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE.
