Bloodied Faces, Sobbing Children: #Immigration Officers Smash Car Windows to Speed Up Arrests
==
We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before #Trump took office.
#ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”
You can judge for yourself.

Rudy #Giuliani's Coffee Company Comes Under Scrutiny
“Two election workers can go after Rudy Giuliani's coffee profits because the company involved is #Trump lawyer's "alter ego," a legal expert has said.
New York federal judge Lewis Liman on Thursday sharply criticized Giuliani's attempts to use company law to stop Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, from freezing funds held by Giuliani Communications” https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-rudy-giuliani-election-workers-ruby-freeman-atlanta-georgia-1968569
Go #Harris! Call #Trump out for the fraudulent coward he is
Harris: "I released my med records. As has, I believe, every candidate…except Trump in this election cycle. & it's just further ex of his lack of transparency— that on top of his unwillingness to debate again, his unwillingness to do an interview w '60 Min', which again, is part of norm of what anyone running for president of the US does. & I think that it's obv that his team, at least, does not want the Amer people to see everything"
“.. if I did, it's a smart thing."🤦🏻♀️

Breaking: #Trump just refused to answer whether he has spoken to #Putin since leaving the White House.
Q: "Can you say yes or no whether you have talked to Vladimir Putin since you stopped being president?"
Trump: "Well, I don't comment on that. I will tell you that if I did, it's a smart thing."
Via Chef José Andrés:
This is what #Trump and his people believe about Latinos and Puertoricans…and Haitians and Mexicans and actually about anyone that is not like them…..
Kamala #Harris
TeamKamala will support Latinos and will work hard to be a President for all
Americans!

“There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico”
A conservative think tank that has been laying the groundwork for a possible second #Trump administration has been targeted by an apparent cyber attack.
The America First Policy Institute says it 👉🏼contacted federal authorities for assistance👈🏼 after its internal network was breached. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/11/afpi-cyber-attack-trump-00183540
Perfect response. #ClusterFox
#Harris spokesman Ian Sams on Fox News in response to a q about alleged tension between Biden and Harris: "Well, I think first and foremost when you think about tensions between a president and VP, you have to think about #Jan6 when #Trump let his supporters chant 'hang Mike Pence'"
👀“As COVID tore through the world in 2020, and the United States and other countries confronted a shortage of tests designed to detect the illness, then-President Donald #Trump secretly sent coveted tests to Russian President Vladimir #Putin for his personal use.”

Harris on Saturday ripped Trump for meandering in his public remarks, saying that the former president "generally for the life of him cannot finish a thought."

#Walmart's announcement today that it plans to raise #prices is expected to open the floodgates for #retail price hikes.
The world's largest retailer—whose brand is inextricably linked to low prices & affordability—said despite the #China #trade deal earlier this week it is too late to avoid higher #costs for #consumers.

This is a smart way to draw attention to what access to abortion could look like across America if #Trump wins.
It is not a play to win #Texas. And the fact that people are reacting this way shows that its a great way to get attention -- the most valuable resource at this stage
Sam Stein:
#Harris will head to TEXAS on Friday. Will campaign with Allred. Will focus on #abortion policy
Via @Brandi_Buchman :
NEW: #JackSmith files his response to #Trump's demand that at least two of his charges be dropped in the #Jan6 case in light of #SCOTUS ruling in Fischer (obstruction statute impacting J6 rioters). It won't surprise you to learn, Smith isn't convinced.
Smith: Trump totally ignores evidence against him that alleges how he sought to create & use false evidence-fake elector certificates-as means to obstruct proceeding on J6. Fischer covers that specifically
Via Eric Columbus:
This filing (which Judge Chutkan will not grant) is a prelude to Trump seeking relief from #SCOTUS. Look for more filings today, maybe an intermediate stop at the DC Circuit (where he won’t win).
Kyle Cheney:
JUST IN: On the day #Chutkan plans to release a large cache of #JackSmith’s evidence, #Trump asks her to delay until Nov. 14 #legal
Remember when #Trump had to subsidize US farmers because his trade war with China caused the country to put retaliatory #tariffs on soy (and other agricultural products)?
Imagine that amplified 1000X and involving multiple countries and various products & industries (beyond agriculture).
And Trump plans to act without Congress, which he has done before and will do again (only likely worse because he will have nothing to lose).

🤬“A new Republican super PAC is invoking the name of deceased Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in an audacious attempt to defuse the volatile issue of abortion as a liability for #Trump.
The group,called RBG PAC and came into existence only days ago, began to spend $20 mil on Friday in support of Mr. Trump, according to federal records. The group posted two abortion-themed ads focused on Mr. Trump’s declaration that he would oppose a federal abortion ban”
"Federal authorities believe a viral video spreading online showing mail ballots being destroyed in the key battleground suburb of Bucks County, #Pennsylvania, might be a hoax perpetrated by Russia as part of its covert effort to help elect former President Donald #Trump..."

I can't. I just can't with this idiot.
Via Rupar:
OMFG -- "When he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said 'oh my god. That's unbelievable" -- #Trump says that when other golfers showered with Arnold Palmer they would marvel at how big his dick is
ADDED: Video via Rupar:
Amen.
#Harris tells MSNBC "the American people deserve so much better" when asked about #Trump calling her a 'shit Vice President.'
"What you see in my opponent … really is— it demeans the office and I have said — and I am very clear about this — Donald Trump should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States."
