And evidence shows, Ali noted, that closed captioning and transcripts are insufficient alternatives."
FBI Begs ICE Agents to ID Themselves as Criminal Imposters on the Rise Hafiz Rashid Tue, November 4, 2025 at 9:16 PM UTC FBI Begs ICE Agents to ID Themselves as Criminal Imposters on the Rise excerpt: "The document pointed out five different instances in which people pretending to be immigration officers committed crimes and targeted members of vulnerable communities.

Criminals in one case allegedly pretended to be ICE agents in order to rob the ATM at a New York restaurant, and in another case, a woman wearing an ICE T-shirt tried to kidnap her ex-boyfriend’s wife. One man allegedly attempted to sexually assault a woman in a Brooklyn stairwell and stole her phone."

California voters sent a strong anti-Donald Trump message on Tuesday by passing Proposition 50, another big win for Democrats during the 2025 off-year election that helps the party in the nationwide redistricting frenzy that will help decide who controls the U.S. House in the final two years of the Republican president's second term. Rebuking Trump, California passes Prop 50 to redistrict in favor of Democrats

Trump threatens ‘legal and criminal review’ of voting if Newsom’s Democratic redistricting measure wins in California The president’s threats portend further actions down the line, potentially to overturn 2026 midterm election results if Republicans lose control of Congress Andrew Feinberg Tuesday 04 November 2025 15:52 EST Trump threatens ‘criminal review’ of Democratic redistricting measure in California excerpt: The president took to Truth Social just hours after polls opened across the Golden State to claim that the “unconstitutional” vote on whether to temporarily adopt a congressional district map to counter GOP-led redistricting efforts in Texas is “a giant scam” because “the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED.” Trump then added: “All “Mail-In” Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are “Shut Out,” is under very serious legal and criminal review. STAY TUNED!”
Trump and Republicans admonish others for their Election Night losses - POLITICO excerpt: "The losses for Republicans, however, were stark. Democrats won all three statewide Virginia races and flipped 13 seats in the state House of Delegates; Democrat Mikie Sherrill beat Republican Jack Ciattarelli by 13 points and Democrats took several counties Trump won in 2024; three Democratic Supreme Court justices kept their seats on the Pennsylvania high court; and California voters approved Proposition 50, which will redraw the state’s congressional maps to favor Democrats. In red-leaning Georgia, Democrats even ousted two Republicans in a statewide election for the Georgia Public Service Commission. Vivek Ramaswamy, a close Trump ally running for governor in Ohio, offered a blunt assessment, blaming the GOP’s poor showing in part on the party failing to address rising costs. “We got our asses handed to us,” he said in a video posted on X."

Perhaps better than the government being shut down over a squabble over whether or not to continue Covid-era subsidies to the Affordable Care Act would be for the shutdown to be used to force Trump and the GOP to finally present their healthcare plan. If the GOP and Trump are so annoyed by Obamacare that they will keep the government shut down over an issue about its subsidies, let them present and implement a better healthcare plan altogether. The public has been waiting over ten years for Trump who keeps blaming his lack of plan on Obama and Biden. When asked about during his 60 Minutes interview last week, Trump didn't have an answer.
Trump is still blaming rising grocery prices on Biden, even though Trump said during the 2024 campaign that he would bring them down starting on day one of his second term. Trump thinks his unrealistic goal to lower gasoline to $1.50 per gallon with Drill, Baby, Drill is going to be his Trump card that will save him from the public backlash of rising prices.
