From Justin Miller: Last summer's move by #Republicans to redistrict #Texas, under marching orders from Pres. Trump, was seen as a politically dicey maneuver at best. In hindsight, they were completely high on their own supply. https://www.texasobserver.org/yep-texas-got-dummymandered/#politics #midterms #Texas #news
‘He’s a force’: Obama answers call to boost Democrats – and rattle Trump
Former president has given series of blistering speeches to help candidates in key races – and deployment has proved a hit with party’s progressive wing
That could have been awkward. Barack Obama, campaigning for Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, acknowledged that his fellow Democrat has criticised some aspects of the Obama presidency.
“Yeah, Abdul didn’t agree with some things we wanted to do – that our administration was doing – when I was president,” he told a rally in Detroit. “You know who e…

Trump administration's social media posts ahead of elections criticized for being inflammatory
The Trump administration’s online accounts are circulating images of a pumpkin carved with a sombrero design and a fake Halloween-themed background around a Black man apparently accused of food assistance fraud, in social media posts slammed by critics as inflammatory rhetoric.

“Britain is firmly back in the grip of a full-blown moral panic about left-wing ‘anti-Semitism,’ once again manufactured by the UK’s political and media classes desperate to shield themselves and Israel from scrutiny.
They are keen to smear large swaths of the British public as Jew haters, just as they did a decade ago when they targeted Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party.
But this time the task will be far harder”

Pentagon watchdog declines bipartisan request to investigate Starshield slowdowns in Ukraine | CNN Politics
Shaheen said in a statement Wednesday that “it is concerning that the inspector general has apparently decided not to investigate satellite communication disruptions that Ukraine relies on to protect its civilians.”
“The Trump Administration and SpaceX have provided conflicting accounts of what led to those disruptions, which weakened Ukraine’s defenses and put American personnel in Ukraine at risk unnecessarily,” the New Hampshire Democrat said. “There must be an independent accounting and review to determine responsibility and prevent this from happening in the future. I urge the Inspector General to conduct a full investigation.”
Mollie Halpern, the spokesperson for the Pentagon’s inspector general office, said that the office “carefully considered the congressional request and determined that the matters raised were best addressed by the Department.”
“Should new information come to light, we may reconsider,” she said.
The issues with Starshield were discovered after the administration threatened to withhold intelligence to Kyiv over its strikes on Russian refineries and after President Donald Trump made a deal to buy Russian diesel and ease sanctions on Moscow.

A key problem with the instrumentalist view of education, is that it includes a clear conclusion that education can be 'wasted' if someone doesn't get a job that reflects their 'level of education'.
Education is never wasted, its a benefit to society to have better educated individuals, and it is also a benefit to individuals' self-development.
Both public & private goods, it seems to me are absolute, and as such the instrumental view misunderstands education itself!

‘We spend our days in silence’: fear and repression in Ohio as ICE terrorizes Haitian immigrants
For months, ICE has terrorized members of Springfield’s immigrant community, speeding after vehicles down normally placid streets and causing crashes. Chief among those being targeted are the city’s Haitian community, who began immigrating to the struggling town of 60,000 residents eight years ago to fill hundreds of open blue-collar jobs.
But a supreme court ruling allowing the Trump administration to end temporary protected status (TPS) for more than 350,000 Haitian nationals in July meant they could no longer work legally, and within days, dozens of ICE agents descended on Springfield. In September, Markwayne Mullin, the US homeland security secretary, said 380 people had been detained by ICE agents in Springfield.

The US founders made a grave error in granting presidents pardon power
From betraying Ukraine and dispatching masked agents who killed Americans to deporting US citizens and pulling out of accords controlling climate change and Iranian nuclear weapons, the list of Donald Trump’s abuses is long and growing still longer, seemingly by the day.
Looking back decades from now, historians will see that at the top of this shameful list is Trump’s utter abuse of his pardon power. It started on the first day of his second term, when he pardoned more than 1,500 insurrectionists who, on 6 January 2021, had stormed the US Capitol.
More recently, as documented in astonishing accounts by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and 60 Minutes, Trump has overseen a robust pardons market in which friends or relatives of criminals offer to pay millions for presidential clemency.

Haley Stevens thrown out of the Michigan Democratic Party, state chair says: ‘You don’t abandon all your values!’
Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel made it crystal clear on Sunday that Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) was no longer welcome in the state’s Democratic party.
Hertel posted to X after Stevens yanked her support from Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) and gave it to his Republican challenger, “Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future.”
