Freedom oppressed: the journalists caught up in Trump’s ICE crackdown
Media workers are grappling with increasingly volatile press climate in US, with some detained and even deported
As hundreds of masked and armed US federal agents besieged the streets of Minneapolis, turning the midwestern city into the frontline of the Trump administration’s unprecedented crackdown on immigration, the independent photographer John Abernathy was documenting one of the protests that had become a daily occurrence when Immigration and Customs Enforcement tackled him.
A photograph of him on the ground, pepper spray running down his face, captured the violence with which ICE agents had for weeks treated immigrants and the thousands of US citizens who had come to their defence. It was also a stark reminder that journalists were not immune to the agency’s aggressive tactics.

Banished to alien lands: Trump’s secret deportation deals
After a plane journey in shackles, an Iranian woman found herself in the middle of Africa in a country she did not know existed. She is one of thousands deported from the US on the back of shadowy deals made with dozens of countries. An in-depth investigation reveals the ‘show of force’ costing American taxpayers millions
No one would tell the shackled detainees onboard the US immigration plane where they were going. The officers in charge would taunt them when they asked, they said. It was only when the seat-back video screens finally showed a map that the 18 migrants worked it out.

What is Trump’s third-country deportation policy and who does it target?
Key questions answered about scheme that has sent more than 25,000 people to countries that are not their own
Since returning to office in 2025, Donald Trump’s administration has deported more than 25,000 migrants, refugees and asylum seekers to countries that are not their own.
Human rights lawyers describe these so-called third-country national arrangements as a “show of force”, intended to make people fear the consequences of entering the US without permission.

Commencez par le bas : pourquoi vos contenus doivent d’abord viser les prospects « Most Aware »
La majorité des stratégies de contenu B2B commencent à l’envers.

Whiplashed middle powers seek new alliances as Trump rages on world stage
While world leaders prepare for annual UN gathering, shifts in the global order continue in the face of a disruptive American president
In the event of a midterms election battering, it is possible that a deflated Donald Trump, constrained by a Democrat-controlled Congress, will gradually have to face up to the indignity of irrelevance.
While continuing to sign off Truth Social posts with his usual, “Thank you for your attention to this matter”, no one will actually be paying much attention. His meandering press conferences will no longer be carried live by TV networks. The Republican party will move on to the question of his successor. Trump could announce he had changed the name of the Champs-Élysées to Sunset Boulevard and even Google Maps will stifle a yawn. He would become that most pitied of political animals, the lame duck.

Veterans Condemn Memorial Arch As A Vanity Project To Trump And Plan To Fight Construction
Veterans and Supporters oppose Triumphal Arch construction plan. Photo: J. Zangas / DCMG
Washington DC—Veterans and supporters stood in the middle of Memorial Circle during afternoon rush hour on Friday with banners and signs urging commuters to join their opposition to a 250 foot Triumphal Arch construction plan. Several groups were involved in the action, including chapters of Veterans For Peace from Washington DC and another from Hawaii; Third Act-DC-MD-VA, and Code Pink Women Against War.
The Triumphal Arch is planned to be built inside Memorial circle, a heavily traveled commuter route, which is just outside the entrance of Arlington National Cemetery. Construction would last several years at minimum and disrupt a major commuter artery, including shut down Memorial Bridge, one of four major bridges linking Washington DC to Virginia. The planned site falls directly under the flight path of hundreds of commercial aircraft flying in and out of National Airport. The height and proximity of the arch to the commercial flight path will pose a risk during inclement weather days.
The Veterans and supporters have been mobilizing against the proposed 25 storied memorial since before Memorial Day when they erected at replica arch near the Lincoln Memorial as thousands of motor cycles rode through for Rolling Tribute (previously known as Rolling Thunder). Their message then as it is now: ‘No Arch.’
A message posted by a spokesperson for the group gave several reasons why they were protesting the proposed arch construction by the Trump White House. It read, in part:
“We are protesting to protect and defend the solemnity and honor of this hallowed ground. To place a memorial that would obstruct the unbroken viewshed from the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington Cemetery would totally destroy all that this space represents. It is unconscionable to suggest that this space could be, and would be [emphasis added], redefined by any one person, let alone someone totally consumed by his own vanity.”
One Veteran among the group was so agitated about the rushed plan that she said she flew all the way from Hawaii on a moment’s notice to join the Veterans’ opposition group.
Retired Colonel Ann Wright, an Army officer with 27-years of service, and a member of the Hawaii Chapter of Veterans for Peace, brought the chapter banner with her for the action. “Over our dead bodies,” she said about the Triumphal Arch plan at Memorial Circle. “It’s for him, Mr. Bonespurs with five deferments from the military.” Col. Wright was emphatic that there would be opposition to the Arch, saying, “A cold day in hell this thing is going up.”
Col Wright was joined by another Retired Air Force Colonel as well as Veterans from other periods of service, including a Vietnam Era Veteran.
The height of the arch would rise 250 feet and at that height it would break the line of sight view between the Arlington House, a property once owned by Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and the Lincoln Memorial. President Abraham Lincoln and General Lee are seen historically as the protagonist and antagonist of the Civil War and the symbolic meaning of reconciliation between two opposing forces splitting the Republic during the Civil War. This symbolism would be destroyed by the Triumphal Arch. An arch built inside the circle would interpose Trump’s image as somehow significant in the design of that area of the city.
Then there is the significance of the proximity of the Arch to Arlington National Cemetery, resting place of over 250,000 war Veterans and many Veterans’ spouses. Many of these Veterans served in the wars since the Civil War, and gave their lives in battle. The Veterans expressed deep concern that the arch would overpower the significance of the full final measure given by 100,000s in every war and conflict fought since the Civil War.
The group of Veterans plans afternoon watches of Memorial Circle from 4:00 to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday, September 21 through September 25. Several other Veterans plan early morning watches starting at 6:00 am. Memorial Circle is about a 5 minute walk from Arlington National Cemetery metro stop and the group has invited anyone to join them with interest in standing in opposition to the Triumphal Arch.
The group is also planning for the possibility that the construction may begin anytime and is planning to mobilize further if it begins.
A late breaking story on Sunday afternoon revealed Trump had added a plan to militarize the Triumphal Arch with sniper positions and drones. But it was unclear if this was a troll or if it was a bonafide preparation for some kind of expected attack. The last time any threat occurred in the area was on 9-11 when American Flight 77 impacted the Wast side of the Pentagon.
Trump has already been flustered by a court ordered removal of his name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The latest incident at the Kennedy Center involving a Board vote to close the iconic building and a initiative to demolish the arts center drew over 10,000 just hours after the Triumphal Arch demonstration.
Trump’s attempt to refurbish the reflecting Pool was also a disappointment and an embarrassment for the White House. The White House, vis-vis the National Park Service, struggled to explain why or how the refurbishing went wrong, blaming innocent observers for damaging the Reflecting Pool which is itself a memorial. The contractor eventually took responsibility for a bad patch paint job.
Economic and trade policy missteps have created rampant inflation and crushed his approval polling to the lowest levels of any president at this time in their term.
The besieged president, is gaining few allies if any among Veterans as his attempt to build the Triumphal Arch which is set to begin construction anytime now.
The combination of all these factors have a knock on effect potential to draw many to oppose the Triumphal Arch as well.

Last week was busy for me and Zach, with the second annual SCOTUSblog Summit as the highlight. Zach conducted a fireside chat with former U.S. solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar, now head of the large and growing Supreme Court and appellate practice at Cooley, while I moderated a panel of three top in-house lawyers: Brian Callanan of TD Bank US, Brett Gerry of Boeing, and Jeffrey Taylor of ExxonMobil. Thanks to the sponsors who made this wonderful event possible: Cooley, Latham & Watkins, Williams & Connolly, Weil Gotshal, Pacific Legal Foundation, Gibson Dunn, DRC Litigation Strategies, Davis Polk, and MoloLamken.
Speaking of conversations about the Supreme Court, please join me, Zach, and Andrew DeVooght, a former SCOTUS clerk (to the late Chief Justice Rehnquist) and current partner at Loeb & Loeb, for a webinar about the Court’s upcoming Term. The event is taking place on Wednesday, September 23, at 2 p.m. (EDT), and it offers one hour of CLE credit in California, Florida, Illinois, and New York. To sign up for this free webinar, please visit the registration page. Thanks to Loeb for sponsoring (and if you’d be interested in having me and Zach work with your firm on a similar event, please feel free to drop me a line).
Every now and then in Judicial Notice, I provide some piece of practical advice—e.g., track down your unclaimed property or freeze your credit to prevent identity theft. Here’s my latest: go into your Uber and Lyft accounts and make sure you’ve set things up so that whenever you take a ride, you’re earning points or miles with one of their partners (e.g., Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors—I’ve earned enough Bonvoy points from my Uber usage to get a free night at a Westin). Also, as a general matter, you should check both Uber and Lyft every time you need a ride; you’d be surprised at how much they can differ in terms of both cost and speed of getting a driver.
Now, on to the news.
Lawyers of the Week: Larry Krasner and Matthew Stiegler.
Since taking office in January 2018, Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence “Larry” Krasner has been one of the nation’s most prominent progressive prosecutors. His supporters praise him for tempering justice with mercy, while his critics castigate him for being soft on crime.
It’s certainly the prerogative of a progressive prosecutor to go after crime less aggressively. Krasner hasn’t hidden his view that prosecutors must wield their power “compassionately”—and with knowledge of his approach, the people of Philadelphia have voted Krasner into office three times.
But Krasner must go about his work in a manner that’s consistent with his legal and ethical duties. And in the span of four months, two courts—one state, one federal—have raised serious questions about whether he has been doing that.
In June, I mentioned that Krasner got badly benchslapped by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. I won’t repeat that discussion here, but will simply note that the majority criticized Krasner for numerous instances of “untrustworthy concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, [and] lack of adequate investigation.” The court ordered that going forward, Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday’s office will independently review any case under the state’s Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA) in which Krasner’s office seeks to “concede relief”—i.e., claim that because of mistakes by the prosecution, the defendant is entitled to some benefit (such as a new trial or release from custody).
Alas, things have gotten worse for Krasner since then. Last Tuesday, Judge Paul Diamond (E.D. Pa.) disqualified Krasner and one of his top deputies, Matthew Stiegler, from Johnson v. Nickelson—a federal habeas case in which Dennis Johnson is challenging his 2009 murder conviction. And not only that, but Judge Diamond referred Krasner and Stiegler to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for possible investigation and prosecution, after raising the possibility that they violated federal law. Yikes.
This news received widespread coverage, from outlets including the Associated Press, CNN, and ABC. One of the more detailed write-ups was that of the Philadelphia Inquirer (via How Appealing):
[I]n 2022, Assistant District Attorney Jaclyn Mason, who worked under Stiegler, filed a brief saying she had discovered problems with Johnson’s case, and recommended the conviction be overturned. Diamond scheduled an evidentiary hearing on the matter this spring.
Ahead of that hearing, Mason’s colleagues in the office’s law division reviewed the filings in the case and found what they called “material misstatements” in the brief. They sought to withdraw Mason’s filing, and apologized to Diamond.
Mason resigned. Diamond called a hearing on the matter. Mason, during the first of a series of explosive hearings in front of Diamond, said she filed the brief only because Stiegler had pressured her to do so.
Stiegler, she said, had been “colluding” with Johnson’s defense attorneys from the Federal Community Defender Office and the Pennsylvania Innocence Project on the most effective paths to secure Johnson’s release. Neither of them had reviewed key evidence in Johnson’s case before seeking to overturn his murder conviction, she said.
“Matt told me: ‘If it’s good enough for the Innocence Project, it’s good enough for me,’” Mason said. Stiegler denied this and said he has reviewed every case carefully.
In a subsequent hearing, supervisors in the law division testified that Stiegler, in an attempt to avoid blame, then suggested they review Mason’s cases to look for other errors in her work to paint her as a “rogue” prosecutor who was routinely making mistakes.
At some point, Krasner got looped in—and allegedly said the following to four of his prosecutors, according to Judge Diamond’s 40-page opinion (which captures the saga in all its sordid detail—this is only a capsule summary):
[S]omeone gave me a really good idea. Actually, it was Matt, Mr. Stiegler, that gave me this really good idea. I think that we should go through Ms. Mason’s cases, find mistakes that she made in other cases, say that this was a pattern by her, and then file something with the Court saying that.
But instead of going along with Krasner’s “really good idea,” the four colleagues of Krasner and Stiegler blew the whistle on them to Judge Diamond, who then dug into the situation. And instead of cooperating with the judge’s investigation, Krasner and Stiegler allegedly “attempt[ed] to impede the Court’s hearing and inquiry into the [conduct of the District Attorney’s Office (DAO)] in Johnson.”
Krasner’s prosecutors reported the alleged cover-up to Judge Diamond as well, making the situation even worse for Krasner and Stiegler. This led the judge to make factual findings suggesting that the two lawyers might have engaged in “conduct that may constitute false statements, false declarations made under oath, perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy.” (Note that the possible perjury relates only to Stiegler, who testified before Judge Diamond; Krasner never testified.)
In the wake of all this, Stiegler stepped down from his role as head of the conviction-integrity unit (but will stay on as a prosecutor in the DAO). As for Krasner, he’s now facing calls for his ouster. Some have appeared in right-leaning outlets—but even the editorial board of the Inquirer, which previously endorsed Krasner, expressed the view that he “has created an untenable situation that could impact the treatment of crime victims and wrongdoers.”
It doesn’t appear that Krasner will step down voluntarily. “I respectfully and vigorously disagree with the court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law,” he said in a statement. “I look forward to appealing to the higher court as soon as the law allows.”
Other lawyers in the news:
U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche “has repeatedly participated in campaign events and spoken in partisan terms about the coming midterm elections since his confirmation last month, despite criticism that he violated a longstanding Justice Department principle of steering clear of electoral politics,” per Charlie Savage of The New York Times. But as Professor Stephen Gillers, an expert on legal ethics, told Savage, Blanche’s political statements and activities are protected by the First Amendment (even if they might be ill-advised).
Blanche is also getting criticism from career DOJ prosecutors “about politically motivated firings and low morale,” including on a recent visit to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Atlanta (N.D. Ga.), as reported by Ben Penn of Bloomberg Law.
In a follow-up on last week’s Lawyer of the Week, Joseph diGenova provided more information about his abrupt resignation as head of the Trump administration’s “grand conspiracy” investigation. As diGenova told Josh Gerstein and Kyle Cheney of Politico, “I take my time when I bring cases…. Sometimes it takes longer than some people want, and they want things done faster, and that’s just not possible sometimes. So, as a result, there are disagreements about timing, and that happens all the time in the Department of Justice.”
If you’re a major rainmaker at your firm who’s planning to defect to a rival, who you gonna call? For many, the answer is Lisa Solbakken of Arkin Solbakken, profiled by Mike Vilensky for Bloomberg Law. Described by one of her clients as “a lioness,” she advises departing partners on issues such as “demanding deferred compensation, how to tell clients they’re leaving without violating solicitation rules, and how to prevent the firms they’re departing from trying to keep their clients and violating those same rules.”
In memoriam:
Senator Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.)—who practiced law for two decades in Phoenix, represented Arizona in both the U.S. House and Senate, and worked as a lobbyist for Covington & Burling—passed away at 84.
Thomas Graham Jr.—who served as chief counsel of the (now disbanded) Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, playing a key role in negotiating nuclear arms treaties for almost 30 years during the Cold War and beyond—passed away at 92.
May they rest in peace.
Judge of the Week: Judge Patrick Schiltz.
Back in February, then-Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz (D. Minn.) was a Judge of the Week. During the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and St. Paul, dubbed “Operation Metro Surge,” Judge Schiltz repeatedly benchslapped the administration. Specifically, he claimed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) failed to comply with “dozens of court orders,” “has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence,” and “is not a law unto itself.” (By the way, he’s no longer Chief Judge Schiltz; in July, he took senior status and was replaced by Chief Judge Eric Tostrud.)
Judge Schiltz’s words carried more weight than certain other judges’ critiques of the Trump administration because he was appointed by a Republican president (George W. Bush). And not only that, but Schiltz clerked for a conservative icon, the late Justice Scalia—twice, on both the D.C. Circuit and SCOTUS—and served on the faculty of Notre Dame Law, where he was a mentor to Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
It appears that Judge Schiltz isn’t done saying his piece. Last Thursday, the New York Times published an article based on what reporter Mattathias Schwartz accurately described as “a rare 90-minute interview.” It’s highly unusual for a sitting federal judge to speak on the record, at such length, with a leading media outlet—and although Judge Schiltz was careful not to discuss pending cases, he did discuss substantive subjects that are still in the news. Here are some highlights:
What happened in Minnesota’s federal court during Operation Metro Surge “created a grave threat to the rule of law…. I would say aloud to myself, ‘This just never happens.’”
Schiltz was constantly checking his phone during that tumultuous time: “The cost of me enjoying a movie could be somebody waking up in New Mexico the next day when they shouldn’t have.”
“The rule of law to democracy is like oxygen to a human body. It is something that you absolutely need to survive, and yet it’s something that people just take for granted.”
“You walk down the street, and you assume you’re generally safe because of the law. It’s the rule of law. If you don’t have it, you have either anarchy or you have authoritarianism. You have Russia or you have China or you have North Korea.”
Judge Schiltz wasn’t the only judge who spoke with the Times. A total of seven judges from the District of Minnesota, including both Democratic and Republican appointees, agreed to be interviewed. But Schiltz’s remarks were the most extensive.
When asked about Judge Schiltz’s comments, DOJ spokesperson Kiersten Pels said she found it “remarkable that sitting federal judges are giving on-the-record interviews” criticizing the administration—and said they should consider recusing themselves if they “have made public comments on pending or related matters.”
As noted, Judge Schiltz didn’t comment on any specific pending matters, and I don’t believe anything he did say violated any rule of judicial ethics. Canon 4A(1) of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges explicitly provides that judges “may speak, write, lecture, teach, and participate in other activities concerning the law, the legal system, and the administration of justice.” And the commentary adds that “[a]s a judicial officer and a person specially learned in the law, a judge is in a unique position to contribute to the law, the legal system, and the administration of justice.”
But one could still argue that interviews like the ones that Judge Schiltz and his colleagues gave to the Times, even if permitted by the canons of judicial ethics, are unwise as a prudential matter. As Professor Josh Blackman wrote at the Volokh Conspiracy, “judges are supposed to voice their opinions in, well, judicial opinions, not the New York Times.” (For a counterpoint, check out Joyce Vance at Civil Discourse, praising Judge Schiltz for “rais[ing] the alarm” about recent threats to the rule of law.)
Readers, what do you think? Take my poll below.
In other news about judges and the judiciary:
Ahead of their return to the bench on October 5, U.S. Supreme Court justices were on the speaking circuit (coverage via Howard Bashman’s How Appealing):
Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the University of Oklahoma at Tulsa (“My greatest fear is that people don’t understand our system of government…. Some of my colleagues don’t either, by the way, and I’m not joking.”);
Justice Amy Coney Barrett at the University of Virginia (“I don’t want to talk about anything that the president has said in particular.”); and
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson at the Philadelphia Bar Association (accepting an award named in honor of the late Justice Brennan, citing his powerful dissents—and arguing that they reflected his “faith in the future”).
Speaking of justices, Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald resigned from the New Hampshire Supreme Court amid claims of judicial misconduct. MacDonald allegedly orchestrated a personnel move that allowed Dianne Martin, his former chief of staff back when he was New Hampshire’s attorney general, to collect nearly $50,000 in unused vacation and sick time (to which she wasn’t entitled).
Representative Scott Fitzgerald (R-Wis.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced a bill that would allow Judge Pauline Newman (Fed. Cir.), 99, to resume hearing cases. As explained by Fix the Court, Fitzgerald’s proposal “would limit the length of ‘temporary’ suspensions of judges permitted under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act to two years,” at which point “a subject judge would be reinstated, though the complaint record would ultimately be sent to the House to decide whether to proceed with impeachment.”
Judge Newman would like to return to the bench—while Judge Judith B. Sheindlin, 83, is hanging up her robes. Although Judge Judy’s CBS show ended in 2021, after more than 20 years, she continued to appear on an Amazon Prime spinoff series, Judy Justice. But that show will air its last episode on October 22.
In nominations news, the Senate confirmed two district-court picks, Ohio state appellate judge Matthew Byrne (S.D. Ohio) and Kirkland & Ellis partner Kasdin Mitchell (N.D. Tex.). Mitchell was Trump’s 55th confirmed Article III judicial nominee in his second term, compared to 68 confirmations at around this point in his first term.
In memoriam: Justice Joyce Kennard—the second woman and first person of Asian descent to join the California Supreme Court, where her 25 years of service made her one of its longest-tenured justices—passed away at 85. May she rest in peace.

Can Trump and Xi cooperate to guide humanity through the AI revolution? Humanity might depend on it | Alan Finkel
The CEOs of tech firms issue stark warnings over the rate of change, with AI capability doubling every four months
Recently, Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic, quit his job over concerns that AI was on a collision course with humanity. A flurry of headlines put the spotlight on the current crisis: unregulated competition between technology companies and between the US and China is putting our global infrastructure at risk at the very least, and threatening human existence at worst.

Trump reportedly to form health funding board that could veto ‘woke’ initiatives
President’s latest order expected to bring NIH funding under control of Trump administration to align with agenda
Donald Trump’s latest executive order is expected to establish a board responsible for approving National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant funding, marking another attempt by the Trump administration to censor topics that do not align with the president’s agenda.
The executive order, reported by outlets including the Washington Post and Politico, was discussed in a meeting on Friday in which senior administration officials accused the NIH of funding “woke” initiatives that went against Trump’s political priorities.

Andy Burnham faces a weakened Trump – but the president remains unpredictable
PM hopes to be firmer with US leader than his predecessor without provoking diplomatic warfare, as the Iran war weighs on the UK economy
No international relationship has more power to determine the success of Andy Burnham’s premiership. So you might imagine the stakes for the prime minister’s first face-to-face meeting with Donald Trump on Tuesday would be high.
Yet Burnham may prove to be a lucky general. The balance of risk has shifted. Trump is unpopular at home, where inflation remains high, and is mired in an intractable conflict in Iran that has the potential to sink his midterm dreams.

Quelques coups de masse contre le travail !
Début septembre les vitres de l’agence France Travail du quartier Chantenay à nantes ont volé en éclats et se sont faites taggué « MORT AU TRAVAIL ». C’est après tout peu chère payer face aux flicage et à l’humiliation constante auquel nous soumet cette institution qui comme le reste de la société voudrait nous faire passer la quasi entièreté de notre à assurer notre survie. Sans oublier non plus que France Travail participe à la traque des sans papiers au côté des flics (sociaux ou non) pour permettre leurs placements en rétention et leurs expulsions. Il ya en effet bien mieux à faire que travailler dans ce monde se révolter et lutter en font parti.
MORT AU TRAVAIL ! MORT A L’ETAT !

House Republican doubles down on jab at Trump’s immigration enforcement
Florida’s María Elvira Salazar warns Trump that advisers are ‘compromising his legacy’ and not showing ‘whole picture’
María Elvira Salazar, the Republican congresswoman who has accused the president of going too far on immigration enforcement, doubled down on her criticism of the administration on Sunday, warning Donald Trump that some of his advisers were “compromising his legacy”.
In an interview with CBS News’s Face the Nation, the Florida representative who is locked in a tight race for re-election pleaded with the US president not to “squander” his relationship with Hispanic voters. Though she couched her remarks as criticism of top administration advisers, it was clear that her focus was on Trump’s much-vaunted ambition to carry out the largest mass deportation of undocumented immigrants in US history.

The poll also has other bad news for Republicans.
And hoo boy.
It was a strong week in polling for Democrats all around.
With Democrats now favored to sweep both the House and Senate in November.
I mean, just look at these Senate race polling averages.
And these House race ratings changes.
Polls show Democrats surging in Texas.
In Ohio…
And Iowa!
And now Democrats are expanding the map into deep red Trump country, such as Nebraska…

Montpellier : 4 000 personnes manifestent contre la loi “permis de tuer”
Environ 4 000 manifestants ont défilé ce dimanche 20 septembre à Montpellier contre la proposition de loi accordant aux policiers et aux gendarmes une présomption d’usage légitime de leur arme. Une mobilisation appelée dans une centaine de villes, à quelques semaines de l’examen du texte au Sénat
Ils sont environ 4 000 ce dimanche après-midi dans les rues de Montpellier contre le « permis de tuer ». La marche répond à l’appel national lancé par le collectif Stop aux violences d’État (SAVE), le Comité Vérité pour Adama, la Ligue des droits de l’Homme, Amnesty International France, le Syndicat de la magistrature, le Syndicat des avocats de France et Flagrant Déni.
"Zyed, Bouna, et Adama, on n’oublie pas, on pardonne pas !" À Montpellier, plusieurs milliers de personnes manifestent contre la loi "permis de tuer" https://t.co/IQ0XVdVxeR
— Le Poing – Montpellier (@lepoinginfo) September 20, 2026En cause, la proposition de loi du député LR Éric Pauget, adoptée en première lecture à l’Assemblée nationale le 7 juillet par 313 voix contre 199, avec le soutien du gouvernement. Le texte prévoit que les policiers et gendarmes qui font usage de leur arme sont présumés avoir agi dans un cas autorisé par la loi. La présomption est simple, donc théoriquement renversable, mais elle déplace la charge de la preuve du côté des victimes et de leurs proches. L’idée a de la bouteille : une proposition du même ordre avait été déposée en 2007 par Jean-Marie Le Pen. Quant à la pétition contre le texte, ses 730 000 signatures n’auront pas suffi à obtenir un débat à l’Assemblée.
Livia Jampy, militante de La France insoumise et élue d’opposition au conseil municipal, aligne les chiffres au micro : « En 2024, 54 personnes sont mortes après une intervention de la police, dont 24 par balle. Ils étaient 50 en 2023. » Depuis la loi de 2017 sur l’usage des armes, le nombre de morts aux mains de la police aurait selon elle été multiplié par cinq. « Ce sera désormais aux familles endeuillées d’avoir le courage de faire les démarches pour prouver » que le tir était illégal, poursuit-elle, avant de résumer : « Jean-Marie Le Pen en rêvait, la macronie l’a fait. » Et d’y voir « une justice à deux vitesses, une pour ceux qui tirent, l’autre pour ceux qui meurent ».
Cette loi de 2017, portée par Bernard Cazeneuve et qui a élargi les possibilités de tir en cas de refus d’obtempérer, personne n’a oublié d’où elle venait. Florianne, militante au syndicat étudiant Le Poing Levé, le rappelle aux nouveaux venus du cortège : « Le Parti socialiste a signé l’appel à manifester aujourd’hui, mais cette loi a été rendue possible par des années de gouvernement PS. »
La marche déborde vite le seul cadre hexagonal. « S’il y a bien un pays qui a légalisé le permis de tuer, c’est Israël », lance l’un des organisateurs. Ibtissame, porte-parole de BDS (Boycott désinvestissements sanction, campagne internationale et non-violente de soutien au peuple palestinien), file la comparaison : « L’islamophobie et le racisme de la police, on connaît depuis longtemps. Ceux qui subiront le plus ces lois, ce sont les gens des quartiers populaires, les personnes racisées, les musulmans. » Et de conclure : « De Gaza à Montpellier, nous refusons la même déshumanisation. »
Le texte doit être examiné par le Sénat en octobre.

In a world of wars and climate crisis, a new leader could save the UN. But would Trump allow it? | Steve Bloomfield
As the organisation meets this week, it remains the best hope for restoring order. But it relies on goodwill from the US president – and that is lacking
If all goes to plan, at some stage in the coming weeks 15 diplomats will emerge from a small sound-proofed room deep in the bowels of the United Nations headquarters in New York and announce the organisation’s next secretary-general.
The person they choose will face a combination of challenges unlike any that their predecessors have had to deal with. Two of the security council’s permanent members, the US and Russia, are engaged in wars of choice that have no end in sight. A UN commission of inquiry has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, but the UN has effectively been reduced to the role of bystander, pushed out by Donald Trump’s Board of Peace. The climate crisis is creating a cascade of new humanitarian disasters, while every day now seems to bring a new security threat caused by the unregulated rise of AI.

Trump claims triumphal arch will serve as a ‘top grade military complex’ to store weapons
US president on Truth Social claims his new plan for the 250ft arch comes at the ‘strong request’ of the US military
Donald Trump is proffering a new argument for building his triumphal arch in Washington DC: it will be converted into a “top grade military complex” replete with drone and ammunition storage space and customised sniper facilities on the roof and plaza.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday morning, Trump claimed that his new plan came at the “strong request” of the US military. He said the 250ft structure would be able to “house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage”.

‘An out-of-touch Silicon Valley radical’: meet Trump’s AI whisperer pushing for limited regulation
David Sacks convinced Trump against any restrictions on AI – putting the White House out of step with its own party
As lawmakers from both sides of the aisle in the US have joined together calling for the regulation of powerful artificial intelligence models, one of the few vocal naysayers has been Donald Trump. He’s called the perceived dangers of the technology a “hoax” and a “scam”, arguing that the government already has “tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies”.
It’s a starkly different stance from those of his former adviser Steve Bannon, the Republican Texas senator Ted Cruz and even the heads of the world’s leading AI companies. But it’s directly in line with the opinion of David Sacks – a prominent billionaire venture capitalist and Trump’s onetime AI and crypto czar, who has pushed back publicly and forcefully against recent claims of an impending AI apocalypse.

Trump's Greenland deal: A triumph of optics?
The new agreement between the United States, Denmark and Greenland on the security of the Danish autonomous territory appears to be good news. It may finally put an end to nearly two years of repeated intimidation of Greenlanders by Washington and ensure that the stated red lines on territorial integrity and sovereignty are not crossed. We still do not know exactly what the agreement contains, but the emerging picture is close to a best-case scenario for Denmark and Greenland. The dispute appears to have been moved back onto the diplomatic playing field, where questions of international law, investment and security policy can be handled. -
‘There’s a whipsaw nature to it’: how we’ve covered Donald Trump’s tumultuous trade wars
The erratic escalations and climbdowns by the US president have made covering trade disputes a high-octane affair. We spoke to some of our business reporters and our correspondent in Toronto about how they keep up with it
Reporting on international trade disputes is challenging enough at the best of times. But how do you cover a chaos-riven trade war launched against the whole world by a US president who acts as if he doesn’t understand how trade and tariffs work?
With the recent showdown between the US and Canada, our reporters have been reflecting on how they’ve kept our audience properly informed during the 15 months since Donald Trump dramatically announced a slew of tariffs in the White House Rose Garden.

Affaire du 8 décembre : le verdict en appel est tombé !
Jeudi 10 septembre 2026, la juge Isabelle Schoonwater a prononcé le délibéré de l’affaire du 8 décembre 2020. On l’attendait depuis plus de 3 mois, depuis que le procès en appel s’est terminé fin mai à Paris.
Ou plutôt depuis 2 ans et demi, depuis la condamnation en première instance des 7 personnes censées constituer cette association de malfaiteurs terroriste. Et même depuis 5 ans et demi, depuis que les potes avaient été arrêtés par des flics sur-armés agissant pour le parquet anti-terroriste, et séquestrés dans les caves sordides de la DGSI à Levallois-Perret. Pour rappel, lors des plaidoiries de 2026, les avocat·e·s avaient plaidé la relaxe générale pour l’accusation d’association de malfaiteurs terroriste (AMT) et une re-qualification des faits pour chacun.es.
La juge en a décidé autrement puisqu’elle maintient l’AMT. Comme en première instance elle le justifie par le fait que cette AMT n’a pas besoin d’être constituée en groupe, ni d’avoir un but ou un projet mais qu’il suffit d’une “potentialité suffisante”. Pour cela elle se repose principalement sur la fabrication d’explosifs et d’une “convergence manifeste se caractérisant par une rupture avec la société” des accusé·e·s. Eh oui, vous avez bien lu, cette condamnation est bien celle d’un groupe qui n’en est pas un, pour avoir donné l’impression d’avoir un projet, indéterminé, de peut-être s’en prendre aux forces de l’ordre. Condamné·e·s pour des suspicions d’intention et un esprit rebelle !
Les peines (et les petites joies)
Pour Libre Flot, le soi-disant chef de la soi-disant bande, leur cible favorite, la condamnation est lourde : 5 ans de prison dont 3 ans de sursis probatoire pendant 2 ans, quasiment comme en première instance. Il ne lui reste que 2 mois qu’il n’a pas déjà fait en détention provisoire et qui pourront être aménagés (en bracelet électronique par exemple). Mais aussi un suivi socio-judiciaire pendant 5 ans avec une peine d’un an s’il n’obéit pas à ce suivi, ce qui représente une équipe pluri-disciplinaire sur son dos tout ce temps, “destinée à prévenir la récidive”. Également pour F, comme en première instance, l’inscription au FIJAIT, le fichier des auteurs d’infraction terroriste, qui court sur 20 ans avec des obligations (pointage, signaler les déplacements…) pendant 10 ans.
Pour les autres, le FIJAIT est retiré. C’est la perspective de retrouver petit-à-petit de la liberté de déplacement, en particulier pour les déménagements et les voyages à l’étranger, la fin des pointages trimestriels. Chacun·e subit encore un certain nombre d’obligations (de soin, de travail ou de formation) et d’interdictions (de port d’arme, de travailler dans certains domaines). Mais n’étant pas associées à un dispositif de marquage des ennemis intérieurs de l’État, les conséquences liées à ce fichage ne pourront au moins pas être étendues, et des demandes pourront être faites pour assouplir les contraintes du quotidien. Autre élément nouveau depuis le début de la procédure, les interdictions de communiquer entre elleux sont enfin tombées ! C’est une petite victoire après toutes ces années d’éloignement forcé. Élément qui pourrait être risible qui a été ajouté à leur peine et qui n’existait pas en première instance, une inéligibilité pour une durée de 5 ans, au cas où l’un·e d’elleux voudrait se lancer en politique ;) Cela démontre néanmoins la crainte qu’iels utilisent des moyens politiques officiels.
Dans le classement de cette juge, vient ensuite S, dont la peine est un peu allégée par rapport à la première instance. 3 ans et demi dont 32 mois de sursis probatoire : il reste donc les 10 mois de ferme, qu’il a déjà purgé en préventive. En ce qui concerne C, W et B, iels sont condamné·e·s à 3 ans de prison dont 2 de sursis probatoire pendant 2 ans. On s’éloigne très peu des condamnations de la première instance, sauf pour B qui n’avait pas de ferme et qui n’avait pas fait de préventive. Les mois restants pourront être aménagés, par exemple en bracelet électronique, selon la volonté du ou de la juge d’application des peines anti-terroristes (JAPAT). On attend ce rendez-vous pour connaitre le détail des conditions de vie des 5 “associé.es” ces prochains mois.
Pour l’un d’entre elleux l’AMT tombe puisque la juge a prononcé la relaxe de M ! “Au bénéfice du doute”. C’est le seul qui n’a pas participé à la confection d’explosifs. La juge l’a bien interrogé sur les lance-pierres qu’il avait chez lui, mais ça semblait décidément trop ridicule de les considérer comme des armes. Enfin un vrai soulagement quelque part. On lui souhaite toute la tranquillité du monde, et de bien profiter de sa nouvelle vie libre. Avec toutes les parties d’air soft qu’il veut, si ça l’amuse. Et on espère fortement que cela puisse être utilisé en jurisprudence pour d’autres qui seraient accusé·e·s d’AMT dans le futur.
Pour conclure, on pourrait dire que ce jugement est globalement dans la même lignée qu’en première instance, puisque la justice les condamne définitivement pour association de malfaiteurs terroriste. On se réjouit bien sûr de la relaxe de M et de la désinscription du Fijait pour 5 d’entre elleux. Mais cela ne vient pas ébranler la construction du PNAT et de la DGSI, le fond de leurs motivations reste semblable. Il y a donc une jurisprudence qui semble s’établir en France pour condamner de terroristes des personnes n’ayant pas réellement eu de projets de terreur mais qui ont des convictions politiques qui critiquent l’État. Par ailleurs cela continue d’isoler Libre Flot, sur qui la justice semble déterminée à s’acharner.
Est-ce que c’est vraiment terminé ? Ça dépendra de la décision des inculpé·e·s d’aller en cours de cassation ou non. C’est la juridiction au-dessus, qui a pour but d’unifier et de contrôler l’application des lois, et qui le fait de manière très administrative (des audiences de quelques heures, avec des avocat.es spécialisé·e·s, sans droit de parole pour les condamné·e·s). Si le jugement était cassé par cette cour, s’en suivrait un nouvel appel (sûrement une attente de plusieurs années et un procès d’un mois comme les précédents). Yels ont jusqu’au 10 octobre pour lancer la procédure, ou en rester là.
On vous tient au courant quand on saura quelle est la suite ! Merci pour toutes les formes de soutien qui ont apporté beaucoup de force aux camarades pour traverser tout cela depuis le 8 décembre 2020.
En effet, la classification comme organisation globale terroriste par les USA de la plateforme numérique Autistici/Inventati (et qui nous fait terriblement écho) signifie la disparition imminente du blog des soutiens du 8.12, nous envoyons tout notre soutien à celleux qui ont permis à des milliers de blogs d’exister gratuitement et librement et un immense merci. On envoie aussi un merci à tous les sites d’auto-média de nous permettre de donner des nouvelles de nos malfrats préférés !

Naviguer dans le reflux – Une analyse critique de la dernière flottille pour Gaza
Une flottille pour Gaza qui devait être la plus grande jamais organisée. Des dizaines de bateaux, des mois de préparation, une mobilisation qui avait tenu bon face à la répression. Et puis, au moment décisif, l’impossibilité de décider — ni d’avancer, ni de s’arrêter.
Ce texte part de cet échec pour poser une question plus large : que fait-on quand on veut agir en pleine période de reflux, alors que le mouvement qu’on espère porter s’essouffle plutôt qu’il ne monte ?
Il retrace le contexte — des désaccords et des différences entre les organisations, la Méditerranée de plus en plus militarisée, la solidarité avec la Palestine qui recule dans les pays du centre impérialiste tout en restant vive ailleurs — puis remonte le fil des choix qui ont mené à l’impasse : un mot d’ordre qui recouvre deux objectifs contradictoires, une alliance stratégique qui devient ingérable, une structure horizontale qui masque des hiérarchies.
Le texte ne s’arrête pas au constat. Il s’en sert pour interroger deux tentations qui traversent d’autres mouvements d’ « action directe » : croire que la force de la volonté suffit à créer les conditions d’une victoire et croire qu’un groupe déterminé peut se substituer à un mouvement qui n’existe pas encore ou plus.
Il questionne aussi une culture militante où l’éthique finit par étouffer le débat stratégique, et où le soin, pensé comme gestion individuelle des émotions désamorce les désaccords politiques plutôt que de les affronter.
Ce n’est pas un règlement de comptes mais d’une tentative de comprendre ce qui a coincé, pour que la prochaine fois, ça coince un peu moins.

‘People are pissed off’: anger at the elite and the establishment is fueling this year’s midterms
Coming midterm elections are starting to be framed not as right versus left but instead the ‘well-fed versus the fed-up’
Brian Leeland, a 79-year-old Democratic voter in Detroit, had enough. Frustrated by the way the US media covers this febrile political era, from Donald Trump’s Washington to political campaigns across the country, he contacted the Guardian.
“Your decision to frame the race here as a simple progressive versus establishment choice is overly simplistic verging on lazy,” he wrote to this reporter, after our coverage of progressive Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign in the Democratic US Senate primary in Michigan. “As an electorate, we are not binary for the convenience of the media.”

As White House shields the AI gold rush, Trump family and other allies strike it rich – with few guardrails
It’s not clear that financial interests are driving White House policy, but they run parallel even as resistance mounts
Donald Trump’s sons, through a series of AI-linked defense and technology ventures, have picked up a $620m Pentagon loan, a Marine Corps robotics contract and an undisclosed air force drone deal in the past year. His longtime friend Michael Dell won a Pentagon contract worth nearly $9bn. And this week, as public support for artificial intelligence sinks to some of the lowest levels ever recorded, the president went to bat for the industry.
“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades,” he posted on Truth Social Monday. “There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers.” It was the first of many aggressively pro-AI posts he would make this week.

UK minister warns of impact of Trump’s Iran war on next month’s budget
Bridget Phillipson says Burnham’s past criticisms of US president not an issue as PM prepares to meet Trump at UN
Next month’s budget will be made more difficult by Donald Trump’s war with Iran, one of Andy Burnham’s cabinet ministers has said, while adding she did not expect the prime minister’s previous disparaging comments about the US president to be an issue.
Burnham is expected to meet Trump early next week at the UN general assembly summit in New York, the pair having previously spoken twice by phone since Burnham entered No 10.
