If you live in New Jersey please make sure you get out and vote for Democratic candidate for governor Mikie Sherrill. She will be an amazing governor fighting for everyone. Polls are very close meaning very vote counts. Don't let Trump's handpicked GOP nominee win! Vote Democratic!

Of the hundreds of Russian banks that exist, and the five or six that were involved in Trump-Russia Scandal discussions at *all*, the two most frequently appearing Kremlin- and Trump-linked Russian banks named during the scandal were Alfa Bank and Sberbank.

I mention this for no reason.

A 61-year-old Tennessee man posted a liberal meme on Facebook after Charlie Kirk's death. A conservative sheriff had him arrested. Bail was set at $2 million.

He spent nearly 40 days in jail before charges were dropped. Now he's planning to sue. Our story: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit before Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago have filed their response to the 7th Circuit, over whether Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino should have to appear in court daily.

They note, as Ellis did, that "Bovino himself has stated publicly" that it "poses no obstacle to his work."
The district court’s administrative appearance requirement does not justify the extraordinary relief that the government seeks. The trial court is not micromanaging the Executive Branch, its administrative order is not the “extraordinarily disruptive requirement” the government contends it is, Motion at 1, and it does not “severely limit” Defendants’ ability to address threats of violence. Petition at 2. Instead, concerned with the lack of regard for judicial authority and court orders, the district court has entered a modest and temporary reporting requirement to enforce its TRO, and to investigate whether Defendants are in contempt of its orders. At each stage of the case, the district court has taken great care to ensure that there is no limitation on executive or law enforcement operations or on lawful uses of force. Defendant Bovino himself has stated publicly that the reporting requirement the government now challenges poses no obstacle to his work. Indeed, he said after the district court’s order that he “looks forward” to reporting to Judge Ellis.

Here is DHS making false allegations about @katmabu.bsky.social.

Read the affidavit and show me where it alleges that she assaulted anyone.

Spoiler: it doesn't.

The conspiracy charge / title of the statute is throwing people off / leading to a lot of bad faith attacks.
“If you assault or obstruct law enforcement, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law--regardless of who you are. Abughazaleh assaulted law enforcement and obstructed officers by directly blocking the pathway of a federal law enforcement officer vehicle outside our ICE Broadview facility. She is now facing the consequences of her stunt to earn 15 minutes of fame. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” On or about September 26, 2025, at Broadview, in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, KATHERINE MARIE ABUGHAZALEH, defendant herein, forcibly impeded, intimidated, and interfered with an officer of the United States, namely, Agent A, while engaged in or on account of the performance of his official duties; In violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 111(a)(1) and 2.
