A report at WisPolitics revealed the LWV had sued the Wisconsin Elections Commission demanding the court block enforcement of state rules that say "an elector who mails or personally delivers an absentee ballot to the municipal clerk is not permitted to vote in person at the same election on Election Day."
The League wanted voters who mailed their ballots to be allowed to vote on Election Day … just in case the mail service didn't deliver their ballots on time.
The judge in Dane County refused to suspend election rules for that.
Instead, Canada posted its worst monthly loss in seven months, and the unemployment rate climbed to 𝟔.𝟓 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭, up from 6.4 percent in August (Statistics Canada, The Daily, Oct. 9, 2026).
It's the second straight month of losses — August cost Canada roughly 42,000 jobs — and the damage is concentrated exactly where you'd expect from a government fighting its biggest trading partner instead of making a deal...
This is ultimately not merely an election-administration issue — it is a matter of sovereignty.
The proposition that only American citizens may vote in elections is a cornerstone of our republic. The citizenship requirement preserves self-government and ensures that those who decide our elections are members of the American political community. If these basic rules are treated as mere aspiration rather than an enforceable legal requirement, then American sovereignty is at risk.
I'm not really a music person. - Jim Riley I like some, love others but have no real knowledge or connection to most of the music world. Toe-tapping, non-dancing, geezer vaguely remembering melodies from the past. Lately I've been surfing Youtube for music that never made it big in the US. Much of it from Europe.
I'd never heard of Scot Maggie Reilly or the song, Moonlight Shadow.
Most national delegations of MEPs supported the proposal, while Spain and Finland stood out as the only countries where a majority voted against it... The resolution focuses on what lawmakers describe as
Islamist entryism,
referring to attempts by Islamist networks to gain influence within political institutions, civil society organizations and other established structures....
Throughout the debate, Rogers used his time to remind listeners about El-Sayed's troubling ties to Islamic terrorist groups.
For instance, though she was never charged with any crime, El-Sayed's birth mother long worked for a group that was later designated a specially designated global terrorist organization and that may also have helped fund al-Qaeda.

The DeSantis administration said its approach aims to stop suspicious Medicaid claims before taxpayer dollars are paid out rather than trying to recover improper payments afterward. The strategy mirrors a call from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to move away from traditional "pay-and-chase" models.
Three of the costliest policy failures in recent decades—
the 2008 financial crisis,
the Covid lockdowns and
the campaign for rapid decarbonization
—share a pathology we call the Consensus Trap.
Problems began with the output of complex, unvalidated models presented as facts.
Institutions and public figures under pressure to appear authoritative ignored uncertainties.
Along with the press, these institutions and people became arbiters of truth, amplifying the declared consensus rather than critically assessing the evidence...
The war in Ukraine is revealing something that is easy to overlook in peacetime:
modern military power, like modern civilization itself, depends on continuous supplies of usable transportation fuels and other products made from crude oil...
...Why would a refinery be such an important target?
The answer lies in the difference between crude oil and refined products.
Crude oil is a valuable natural resource, but it is not directly used as gasoline for a car, diesel fuel for a truck, or jet fuel for an aircraft...
In this sense, the refinery is a critical conversion point between a natural resource and the usable forms of energy required by our modern industrial society...
He cites the "dishonesty, intimidation and political bullying have become standard operating procedure at the Colorado Capitol," where Democrats are in the governor's office and hold the majorities in the House and Senate.
"The message from lawmakers is increasingly simple: Vote however you like — we'll make sure it turns out the way we like," he explained, "When voters might say no, they rewrite the question. When elected officials won't cooperate, they replace them. When citizens organize an initiative, they sabotage it. And when the law becomes inconvenient, they exempt themselves from it."
