@#1 ... Following the incident, ICE said officers observed a suspect they were targeting, identified as Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, entering a vehicle with Parra Hernandez. An immigration advocacy group, FIEL Houston, said the alleged suspect died years ago according to documentation provided by the man's family, The New York Times reported. ...

So, ICE was targeting a person, who may have died years ago.

And because of that apparent ICE mistaken identification, a person had his leg broken by ICE agents?

Maybe the I-95 anal-pores in this song are ICE agents, a.k.a. apparently Pres Trump's private militia?

@70

Also, how many other such races have the current Republican incumbent so clearly marked?

... Still, customers are increasingly handing over their log-ins as personal AI assistants grow more popular. Sharing your banking username and password with an AI assistant runs the risk that it could do something with your finances without your knowledge, or that your bank thinks someone's raiding your account and locks you out of it.

Worse, a security flaw in the AI assistant could result in it leaking your banking credentials elsewhere, giving financially motivated hackers a way into your bank account.

This latest warning comes as banks are still exploring how AI agents fit into the financial world but are reportedly grappling with unauthorized agents accessing their customers' money.

As we discussed onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt, banks, payment providers, and processors are still trying to figure out how to allow customers access to their bank accounts using AI tools, such as for agentic payments, which allow people to set agents to autonomously buy things at the best price or the right time.

A spokesperson for Bank of America confirmed the authenticity of the bank's email that was posted to social media. ...

... "The evidence that we have in this case is as clear as any that I've ever prosecuted or investigated," Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare said in a news conference on Friday, according to NBC.

"An ICE badge does not give you free rein to injure, kill, or violate the constitutional rights of anyone," Teare said.

Parra Hernandez, a 48-year-old immigrant without legal status, was driving to work when federal authorities attempted to pull him over. He stopped his car, and he and his passenger attempted to run away.

Surveillance footage from the incident shows the two men running away while an SUV veers and hits Parra Hernandez, who suffered multiple injuries to his leg.

An ICE spokesperson said in an emailed statement to NBC that the indictment "is nothing more than a political stunt by Houston sanctuary politicians." The spokesperson said that only federal agencies can investigate "federal officers acting in the course of their duties."

At the press conference, Teare said that is "false."

@#20 ... But this stunt proved EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what the moron perpetrators were trying to "prove". If anything, this should make folks feel SAFER regarding their vote. ...

Agreed.

... And just like any other election fraud, I believe they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. ...

Again, agreed.

No, you're not.

Yup.

@#4 ... It was Obama's typical disdain for what he perceives to be beneath him. ...

How so?

This does not bode well.

@#4 ... Our Pentagon is run by Russia. ...

Well, Sec Def Hegseth seems to be assuring that those remaining leaders in the Pentagon are like himself, i.e., a Pres Trump most-ample-derriere-kissing toady.

So that the Pentagon seems to be telling our European allies to go easy on Pres Putin should be no surprise.

@#66 ... In an election so skeeed by Elon Musk this minor thing is just too minuscule in importance. ...

Thanks for bringing that up.

That one person tries to have such an overwhelming effect upon the elections based solely upon trying to buy the results of elections.

I mean, that is something that should be investigated.

@#50 ... The problem isn't the "dirty tricks" of putting people on the ballot

The problem is Piggy using this as a justification for a bullshit legal justification

The problem is magat scum using this as a justification to not certify a D win ...

Agree.

... Pentagon officials have in recent weeks asked several NATO countries to tone down their rhetoric regarding the threat posed by Russia, arguing that some statements by European leaders and officials have undermined continental security, four people familiar with the matter said.

Among the nations that have received messages urging them to keep public statements in check are Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. It was not clear if the messages, which were delivered in bilateral meetings, were conveyed to other European governments.

The US requests come as the Trump administration restarts an effort to press for a negotiated end to the full-scale war in Ukraine, now well into its fifth year. The latest push has blended incentives for Russia - including sanctions relief - with pressure on Ukraine to halt its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.

Asked for comment, a Pentagon official said: "Private conversations among allies are just that, so we will not comment on these allegations."

Among the comments that have drawn US officials' attention are suggestions by European leaders that Russia is cornered and resorting to increasingly desperate measures as its invasion of Ukraine slows to a crawl, one of the people said.

Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby, a key figure in an ongoing review of US troop levels in Europe, was one of the US officials delivering the message, the people said. Reuters could not determine what other officials were involved.

None of the people, who include three European officials and a US official, suggested the advice was communicated in a confrontational manner.

EUROPE SHOULD AVOID "POKING" RUSSIA

The US messages reflect a debate within NATO regarding how to publicly address the threat of an increasingly assertive Russia. ...

Personally, I'd prefer to see those candidates running for office avoiding these types of shenanigans.

But when the races are as close as they appear to be this election cycle ... well, it looks like lawful, and not ethical, seems to be the possible red-line that is not crossed.
