Federal agents shot a woman in the Brighton Park neighborhood on Chicago's Southwest Side Saturday morning after they became boxed in by vehicles, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. DHS originally said the shooting happened while agents were patrolling in Broadview, where the department has a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility that has been the site of ongoing protests and clashes between agents and demonstrators. But officials later confirmed the incident happened near 40th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Chicago. The patrolling agents were rammed by vehicles and "boxed in by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. DHS said the agents were unable to move their vehicles and got out of the car.
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking crimes will return to the Capitol to hold another press conference demanding Congress force a vote to release the Epstein files. On Wednesday, Oct. 8, survivors will stand alongside Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna to support the pair's bipartisan bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of the few Republican supporters of the bill, will be in attendance as well. Epstein survivors last held a press conference with the congresspeople on Sept. 3"during which time Trump had a fighter jet fly over their words and drown them out. During that press conference, survivor Chauntae Davies alleged that Donald Trump, 79, was very close with Epstein, to the point that the late sex offender kept a portrait of Trump on his desk.

The United States is experiencing a level of left-wing political violence not seen since the early 1970s, with one key and chilling difference: Today, a radicalized violent extremist can be anywhere. In the past year or so, we have seen the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, two near misses for President Trump, the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York, the church shooting in Minnesota in which a transgender assailant allegedly killed two children, and, this week, the killing of two detainees at a Dallas U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
Much like the elites of a Charles Dickens tale " tapping walking sticks in their finery while using a nosegay to mitigate the stench of the masses " in Portland, human misery fades into the background, like the quiet but incessant rain. I could almost hear the hipsters mutter to themselves, "Are there no soup kitchens? Are there no safe injection sites?"

We are all used to the ideas of hardware and software in the computers we currently use. The somewhat eyebrow-raising term Dr Jordan and others in the field use to refer to what they are creating is "wetware".
