FBI makes arrest of government contractor

Federal authorities have arrested a government contractor

He was accused of accessing highly classified CIA intelligence and providing sensitive national defense information to his romantic partner, who allegedly used the material in articles published online.

Prosecutors say the disclosures involved some of the nation’s most closely guarded secrets.

A 42-year-old government contractor with access to top-secret intelligence was arrested this month after federal investigators accused him of illegally providing classified national defense information to his girlfriend, a journalist who published articles based on sensitive government assessments.

Ian A. Brinksman, of Washington, D.C., was arrested Oct. 23 following an FBI search of his residence and charged with unlawfully transmitting national defense information, according to the Justice Department.

PBSO backs down, for now, on food-sharing arrests in Bryant Park

Following a blistering legal letter by civil rights attorneys, Lake Worth Beach captain tells deputies to hold off handcuffs ‘until further notice’

THE PALM BEACH County Sheriff’s captain in charge of Lake Worth Beach has ordered deputies to not arrest anyone for violating a controversial city ordinance that bans food-sharing events in Bryant Park.

Capt. Terrence Carn issued the directive Oct. 29, less than a day after lawyers for food-sharing hosts sent the city a letter claiming the ordinance and PBSO’s attempts to enforce it violate their clients’s constitutional rights...

Teamsters president backs GOP Sen. Ashley Moody as Florida vote nears

Well who in he!! would vote for a communist?

Teamsters boss Sean O’Brien cast his Florida ballot for Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, a break with the left that drew sharp pushback from Democrats and union critics.

Fox News reported that International Brotherhood of Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien announced over the weekend he had voted for Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., and was proud to endorse her.

O’Brien, a self-described lifelong Democrat who leads one of the nation’s oldest and largest unions, framed the choice as about pensions, jobs, and apprenticeship programs, not party labels.

Moody faces Democratic nominee Angie Nixon, a Jacksonville state lawmaker whose platform is considered DSA-aligned, with polls set to open nationwide in a matter of hours at the time of the announcement.

The Michigan congresswoman’s surprise endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers has triggered staff resignations, furious Democratic criticism, and an invitation from President Trump to switch parties.

President Donald Trump invited Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan to join the Republican Party on Sunday after she endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers over her party’s nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, prompting fierce criticism from Democratic leaders and the resignations of several congressional staff members.

The unexpected endorsement came just two days before Tuesday’s midterm elections and followed a bitter dispute between Stevens and El-Sayed, who narrowly defeated her in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary in August. [Patrick Houck]

Financial institutions targeted President Trump, his supporters, and conservative-leaning organizations

Pre-Midterm Treasury Report Confirms Conservatives Were Debanked Under Joe Biden’s Administration

For years, conservatives who said they were being cut off from the banking system were dismissed as paranoid. Now the Treasury Department has confirmed it.

On October 14, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Treasury bureau that regulates national banks, released the findings of its review of the nation’s nine largest banks.

All nine had policies between 2020 and September 2025 that could deny or limit financial services to Americans based on their political or religious beliefs or their lawful business activities. The banks were:

JPMorgan Chase

Bank of America

Citibank

Wells Fargo

U.S. Bank

Capital One

PNC Bank

TD Bank

Alaska Senate Race

Tim Scott declines straight answer on Alaska Senate outcome as ballot confusion probe heats up

Sen. Tim Scott refused a yes-or-no answer on accepting Alaska Senate results if Democrat Mary Peltola wins, pointing instead to a ballot scheme under federal investigation.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, the South Carolina Republican faced repeated questions from Kristen Welker about the Alaska contest between incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan and Peltola. Welker wanted a clean pledge: if Peltola wins and the race is certified, would Scott accept it?

Scott did not give that answer. He said the real Dan Sullivan will win, then turned straight to the legal fight over a same-name candidate on the ballot and the Department of Justice response that followed.

The Hill reported the exchange as Scott declined a straightforward commitment on the hypothetical outcome and instead highlighted what he called an illegal effort to confuse voters.

Because Alaska utilizes a ranked-choice voting system, the final redistribution of lower-ranked candidate votes will be critical if no candidate clears 50% on the first ballot. We will know late tomorrow night.

Years long search ends up in arrest

Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrested one of the agency's most wanted fugitives in Boca Raton on Thursday

Jean S. Dorisca, 48, was wanted in Osceola County on a felony warrant for three counts of vehicular homicide tied to a 2024 crash that killed three people, including his mother. The Florida Highway Patrol's Criminal Alien Apprehension Team located him at a residence on Wednesday and took him into custody without incident during a targeted enforcement operation on Thursday.

Dorisca, a Haitian national and lawful permanent resident of the United States, had been designated as one of the Florida Highway Patrol's most wanted fugitives after evading arrest following the July 16, 2024, crash. Investigators say he tried to pass a semi-truck in a designated no-passing zone on State Road 60 near the Polk-Osceola County line and collided with oncoming traffic, killing three motorists.

FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner addressed the yearslong search after the arrest

“For more than two years, this fugitive evaded accountability for a crash that claimed the lives of three innocent motorists," Kerner said. "Thanks to the relentless work of our Criminal Alien Apprehension Team, Jean Dorisca has been taken into custody and will now face the criminal charges associated with this tragic crash.”

Dorisca was taken to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Detention Center He remained in custody pending extradition to Osceola County, where he faced up to 45 years in Florida state prison and revocation of his legal status as a permanent resident of the United States.

Elon: How a Democrat Sweep will hurt America

Musk Sees a High-Stakes Election Test

Elon Musk is sounding the alarm over a possible Democratic sweep that could reshape the federal government. The stakes are tied to next week’s midterm elections and the 2028 presidential race. Musk said his biggest fear is that Democrats could win control of Congress this fall and then capture the White House in 2028, leaving the America we know and love gone.

That is a warning about a possible chain of events, not a claim that these changes have already happened. In a second post, he wrote, “It would be game over for America.” Musk argues that the Senate balance in 2029 could decide whether the plan moves forward. His message to conservative voters is blunt: Republicans need enough senators to block what he describes as a sweeping effort to remake the nation’s political system.

The Three Moves Musk Says Democrats Would Make:

1. First, he says Democrats would make Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico states, adding four Senate seats and creating what he calls a strong Senate advantage.
2. Second, he says they would reopen the borders and legalize everyone living in the country illegally through mass amnesty. Musk argues that move would help establish a permanent Democratic majority.
3. Third, he says Democrats would expand the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority. The warning is that such a move could put First and Second Amendment rights at risk.

Taken together, Musk says the three steps would produce a permanent one-party state and end democracy in any meaningful sense. That is a serious claim, and it explains why he is placing so much emphasis on the number of Republican senators serving in 2029.

His argument is that election victories in the House or presidency would not be enough if Republicans cannot hold the Senate.

Ilhan Omar’s 2009 marriage application is drawing fresh attention because of a series of crossed-out entries. The application, obtained by the New York Post from Hennepin County, Minnesota, appears to show Omar first writing “Omar” as her last name in the section labeled “COMPLETE NAMES OF PARTIES AFTER MARRIAGE.” She then crossed it out, wrote “Elmi,” crossed that out as well, and returned to “Omar.”

The form does not settle the broader identity dispute by itself, but the repeated changes are now part of the public controversy surrounding Omar’s marriage and immigration history.

A recent Justice Department court filing identifies Omar as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” The report says this was the first time the federal government publicly used that name in a filing. It also relays allegations from sources familiar with the investigation that “Ilhan Omar” was used as an alias by Ilhan Nur Said Elmi to obtain citizenship in 2000, live in the country illegally, and run for office.

Driving without lights, guy wouldn't stop

3-year-old found in truck after driver allegedly failed to stop for FHP on I-95

A 3-year-old was in the truck as her father allegedly continued driving after troopers activated their lights and sirens during a stop on I-95 near Boynton Beach, according to a Florida Highway Patrol arrest report.

The report identifies the driver as Jeremiah Baxter, 29. It says troopers responded after the Lake Worth Regional Communications Center relayed a caller’s report that a black Dodge Ram was swerving, traveling without headlights and being driven by someone who appeared to be drinking and using a phone.

A second trooper moved in front of the truck, and Baxter stopped. The first trooper drew a firearm and repeatedly ordered Baxter to show his hands, the report says. Troopers allege Baxter refused commands to show his hands and get out of the truck, then resisted as they removed and handcuffed him.

Baxter was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail. He faces four misdemeanor charges: failure to obey a lawful order, resisting an officer without violence, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He also received a civil traffic citation for driving at night without headlights or taillights.

Florida Woman Arrested After Alleged Threat Against Trump at Daytona Rally

Threats against President Donald Trump have become a serious concern, especially after several unsuccessful assassination attempts. But the number of threats does not make any one of them acceptable.

A reported social-media post from a Florida woman quickly drew law enforcement attention after it appeared to target Trump at a Daytona Beach rally.

The woman, identified as Allison Albro, was described in the report as a Trump opponent. She allegedly posted a selfie and wrote: “Going to the trump rally in my city tmr so I can sh—t him with my glock! Wish me luck guys!!”

Albro was reportedly in jail facing charges for “written threats to kill” as well as “unlawful use of a communications device.” Those are allegations and charges, not a finding of guilt. Still, the case illustrates the risk of treating violent language as harmless internet humor, especially when it names a public figure and refers to a specific rally.

A separate social-media post about the incident likewise said Albro was in jail after allegedly claiming she planned to shoot Trump at the Daytona Beach event. It also repeated that the Volusia County Sheriff’s Domestic Security Unit and Secret Service had reportedly gone to her home within hours.

Voting arrests of Illegals

ICE and DOJ announce fresh noncitizen voting arrests days before midterms

Federal immigration and justice officials announced dozens of arrests and new charges against noncitizens accused of illegal voting, a crackdown officials say protects ballot integrity just days before the midterms.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday it had arrested dozens of illegal immigrants nationwide on alleged voter fraud charges, many accused of casting ballots they had no legal right to cast. The Justice Department, on the same day, said it charged another 18 people in North Carolina for illegally voting, bringing that state’s total to 30.

Just the News reported the twin announcements as the midterm elections sat only days away, placing noncitizen voting back at the center of the election-integrity fight.

Acting ICE Director David Venturella and acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter both framed the cases as straightforward law enforcement: noncitizens cannot vote in federal elections, and when investigators build a case, charges follow.

ICE released 18 example cases from the nationwide sweep. Three of those names put a face on the pattern officials say they keep finding.
