Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

I deleted a post of me in a frog suit with my 7-yr old daughter because a big account reposted, admonishing us for not being serious enough protestors (or something). I shouldn’t have included my daughter in the image, which was why I deleted it. But I was stunned by the condescension.

"We're cold, but not as cold as ICE," said a sign on one rider's back.
Cyclists followed a route south to the Burnside Bridge where they staged a "die-in," lying down next to their bikes before continuing along their route.
Onlookers at the ICE facility cheered the cyclists as they reached the building around 4:15 p.m.
Sunday. The riders paraded in front of federal officers on the roof in a fashion show of rain jackets,
Halloween costumes and nothing at all.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

I always caution people to append the phrase "in mice" at the end of any miraculous medicine story since we can make mice do, basically, anything biologically.

This is different. While it is a study in mice, the mechanism has little to do with mice's uniquely malleable biology.

If you’re hearing news about a cancer break-through and wonder what’s hype and what’s not, here’s a good explainer of the actual findings in animal studies.

This is some elegant science that pulls together several lines of long-standing inquiry, and yes, it’s a BFD.

"They keep saying as loudly as possible, we're going to do more illegal partisan impoundments, and I think Democrats are seeing this and it just reinforces their sense they can't negotiate with these guys," Bobby Kogan, senior director of federal budget policy at the Center for American Progress, told me. "It's Darth Vader saying 'I have altered the deal, pray I don't alter it any further'—again and again and again."

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 14h

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.
