yet another case of U.S. Citizens arrested by immigration agents on serious charges — then the government drops those charges

A common trait in many cases of citizens detained by immigration agents that @propublica.org reviewed

DEVELOPING: With prosecutors abruptly moving to dismiss all charges, Marimar Martinez’s case is poised to be the latest — and clearly highest-profile — indictment against “Operation Midway Blitz” protesters to disintegrate at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy.

Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies — retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.

He also claims the Dems are engaging in 'seditious behavior'.

One of the people arrested on September 27 at Broadview was a 70-yo Air Force veteran who was hospitalized with his injuries from ICE assault. First charged w/felony, then misdemeanor.

He was going to call Greg Bovino at trial.

It just got dismissed.

This is the biggest advantage Democrats have had in Marist polling for control of Congress in 8 years:
A new Marist poll of registered voters has Democrats holding a 14-point lead over Republicans in a generic congressional ballot.

55% would back a Democratic candidate. 41% would back a Republican.

Release the transcript.
Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
