Republicans are hauling the midterm conversation back to crime, while Democrats answer that the administration’s immigration-enforcement record makes that sales pitch smell like fried clams left in a hot trunk.
Five fresh reminders that the administration’s preferred governing method is to lean on elections, spending law, courts, and migrants until something cracks. That is not “draining the swamp.” That is trying to own the plumbing.
Trump’s crew is testing detention without bond, immigration-status checks on tax returns, press exclusion, and law-waiving border construction. Different tools, same racket: make government less answerable and ordinary people easier to scare.
DHS says ICE is not planning polling-place operations, but still reserves targeted enforcement near a site. With early voting underway, civil-rights and election groups are preparing anyway—because apparently this needs explaining.
Roy, K1ROY, is very quick to call anyone who doesn’t agree with Trump a communist. But his orange man-crush sure acts like one himself.
Our pedophile president is allied with the men who did 9/11.
Are you ready to immerse and debase yourself in the dumbest imaginable world to fight for what’s right?

The Supreme Court took up ICE’s no-bond-hearing policy, a judge set the next White House press-ban fight for October 8, and Renee Good’s family filed two federal suits over her killing. Real cheerful stuff for a Thursday.
DOJ filed an ethics complaint against Minnesota judges who spoke about immigration-court pressure, while advocates asked a U.N. panel to intervene over ICE’s removal of detainees from its locator. Accountability: now apparently an optional side of onion rings.
Washington’s emergency docket just put the green light back on deportations to countries people may have no connection to. The Court stayed a Massachusetts ruling requiring a chance to object and will hear the policy’s legality in December.
The administration asked the Supreme Court to let the Bureau of Prisons halt gender-affirming treatment restrictions that lower courts blocked. Because apparently medical care in federal custody now needs a constitutional cage match.
The Supreme Court temporarily let DHS resume its expanded SAVE voter-verification system, which links Social Security data to immigration records. The Court says states can ask; the dissent says lawful voters may pay the tab.
