The Supreme Court is once again siding with President Trump on deportations of illegals to third-party countries. Attorney General Todd Blanche just released a statement on the ruling, which came down this afternoon.
Here’s what he wrote:
Now for the second time, SCOTUS just granted our stay in conducting all third-country removals of illegal aliens. Again, this is entirely lawful and a critical tool for immigration enforcement. Unlike the lower court, SCOTUS waited to hear from both sides before making the decision.
Not only did the Supreme Court grant the stay, but it will now hear the case. And the top two lines of questioning it wants argued are whether the lower court in Massachusetts even had jurisdiction in the first place to issue this ruling, and then if it had the authority to issue classwide relief on the part of the plaintiffs.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all…..today we get a new one.
Some future doctor or engineer (I’m sure) decided it was a good decision to take a huge leak all over the lobby of a New York apartment building.
How charming!
You can see in the video he first looks for cameras and somehow misses the obvious one, then unzips and lets it fly.
The New York Post added that Amazon offered the customer a $50 gift card as a concession:
A barbaric Amazon delivery driver was caught on camera peeing all over the lobby of a posh Greenwich Village apartment building — leaving a resident pissed off over the “foul” delivery.
The disturbing footage captured by Donny, a 30-year-old tenant living in a four-story apartment near the corner of Bleecker Street and Carmine Avenue, showed the moment an Amazon delivery driver unzipped his pants outside of his apartment on Aug. 26 and started spraying urine in the halls and on furniture.
“He walked straight back there as if he’d done it a hundred times, like second nature,” Donny told The Post of the disgusting Ring footage.
“I had shoes in the hallway, a chair in the hallway, a table in the hallway and he was peeing and splashing everywhere,” the resident added.
The footage shows a man wearing a light blue-and-gray Amazon delivery driver uniform ring the electronic doorbell system at around 3 p.m. to gain entry into the building.
Donny, who wished to not be identified by his last name, buzzed the driver into the building and thought nothing was unusual — until he later checked footage on the Ring app and was shocked at what he saw.
The footage shows the deliveryman look around the hallway, presumably to check if the coast is clear before he unzips his pants and does his business all over Donny’s belongings.
When Donny reached out to Amazon to complain about the whiz, he said Amazon called it a “horrible” incident and dropped a mere $50 gift card as their way of saying sorry.
“I didn’t think that was appropriate for what had happened” Donny said. He refused the coupon, he added.
The Mary Sue reports that this is far from the first time this has happened:
One woman’s recent experience with an Amazon delivery driver went so poorly that it resulted in her calling the police—and a cleaning crew being hired.
What Went Wrong With This Amazon Delivery? In a video with over 7.7 million views, TikTok user Eve Hoppe (@evehoppe) shows Ring camera footage of an Amazon driver making a delivery.
After he drops off the package, he walks down the stairs. Then, he unzips his fly—and urinates all over the floor of Hoppe’s building.
“Amazon really said ‘special delivery,’” she writes in the video overlay text
What Happened Next?
In a follow-up video, Hoppe recounts what happened after she discovered the driver’s actions.
First, she says she immediately reported the issue to Amazon. Then, her mother reached out to the police. The police asked for her Ring camera footage; Hoppe obliged. In response, the police said they were going to “go look for” the man.
“I don’t really know what his plan was—like, if he was gonna arrest him, just talk to him,” she says. “I don’t know the details of that, but he definitely is getting fired.”
For Amazon’s part, Hoppe says that they gave her a gift card for the approximate value of her order. She states in a comment that this was equivalent to around $22.
Amazon also sent cleaners to scrub and sanitize the carpet.
“So, everything is all good,” Hoppe summarizes.
Has This Happened Before? There are a surprising number of cases of Amazon drivers being caught urinating on customer property.
In June 2024, an Amazon driver was caught peeing on a customer’s porch mid-delivery. Then, in September 2024, a California couple filmed what appeared to be an Amazon driver urinating on their car. Later, in May 2025, an Amazon driver urinated and defecated on two different properties in the Los Angeles area.
Why does this happen? It’s uncertain, but several drivers have alleged that they are not given enough time to use the bathroom and complete their route.
According to a November 2024 piece in LAist, one worker alleged that peeing in bottles was “incredibly common” amongst Amazon drivers. While drivers are given 15-minute breaks to use the bathroom, some report difficulty finding a restroom within this amount of time, or feeling the need to use the time to decompress rather than locate and use a toilet. Others claim that they were unable to use the 15-breaks altogether due to the demands of the job.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith testifies during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Hart Senate Office Building on Tuesday.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith collected the banking information of thousands of Americans who had contributed to President Donald Trump and Trump-aligned Republican groups.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said in a Tuesday news release that records provided to the committee through whistleblower disclosures revealed that Smith’s team acquired at least 4,782 checks from Americans who contributed mainly small dollar amounts between September 2019 and August 2023.
“Thousands of Americans across all 50 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, who donated as little as $1 to President Trump and Trump-aligned Republican entities had their checks secretly subpoenaed by Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team,” the news release declares.
The checks show the donors’ home addresses, bank accounts, and routing numbers and signatures.
“Smith’s team acquired the checks as part of its ‘Arctic Frost’ election case against President Trump, allowing the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to gain access to nearly 5,000 Americans’ highly sensitive information,” the news release stated.
There may be additional subpoena returns yet to come showing more donor checks obtained by Biden’s DOJ, Grassley added.
Grassley confronted Smith during a Tuesday Judiciary Committee hearing, saying, “No matter what you say, there’s no legitimate basis for what you did. Especially since your staff killed an investigation into the Clinton campaign.”
“Donations to Republican groups weren’t necessary to your investigation, which is proved out by the fact it wasn’t mentioned in your public report. Now, the Justice Department and FBI will forever possess thousands of people’s addresses, phone numbers, banks, bank account numbers, bank routing numbers and a copy of their true signatures. Every member on this committee ought to be outraged for what happened to their constituents,” the senator continued.
“Every member of this committee ought to be outraged for what happened to their constituents,” Grassley said. “I hope my Democratic colleagues will join me in this outrage.”
Speaking before Grassley’s statement, Smith acknowledged that his team acquired financial information, but claimed it was in the line of duty.
“As I sit here right now, I cannot recite every subpoena we issued. I can tell you why we issued subpoenas. And it was to conduct a criminal investigation of one of the most serious crimes that’s ever happened in our nation’s history,” Smith said. “I had a duty to collect facts.”
The billionaire George Soros' nephew told attendees he helped launch El-Sayed's career through a family fellowship
Jeffrey Soros, the wealthy nephew of billionaire Democrat mega-donor George Soros, detailed his yearslong connection to Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during a Monday night fundraiser, according to footage obtained by Fox News Digital.
The Soros nephew, a wealthy Hollywood producer, hosted El-Sayed at his home Monday night for a fundraiser that attracted controversy given the emphasis the candidate has placed on getting money out of politics. During remarks, Soros noted that he played a key role in helping El-Sayed get his career off the ground, according to footage obtained by Fox News Digital.
"I just wanted to welcome you here and express my appreciation for coming. And it's been a privilege," Soros said while standing next to El-Sayed during the event, the footage showed. "Speaking of privilege, I've had the pleasure of knowing Abdul since 2012. I got to interview him as a finalist for my parents. Fellowship, the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans."
The El-Sayed campaign and the Los Angeles Media Fund, where Soros serves as CEO, did not respond to requests for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, speaks at the Michigan Democratic Nominating Convention in Lansing, Mich., on Aug. 29, 2026.
Attendees were asked not to record the event, a common practice at many political fundraisers, organizers said in footage reviewed by Fox News Digital.
The Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, which is designed to help immigrants and the children of immigrants get a leg up in the United States, pays out tens of thousands of dollars in stipend and tuition support to winners. El-Sayed won the fellowship in 2012, and it is touted on its website as one of its success stories.
Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, speaks to supporters at a campaign event, on August 2, 2026, in Detroit, Michigan.
The financial and political ties come as El-Sayed has made the influence of wealthy donors a recurring theme of his campaign.
"The fundamental corruption of our politics has been the system that allows corporations and would-be oligarchs and billionaires to buy politicians," El-Sayed said during a 2025 local news interview.
"I want to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, pass Medicare for All," he said during a follow-up interview.
A flyer promoting the Soros fundraiser, which was attended by Hollywood notables, stated that attendees could donate up to $57,800 to the Abdul for Michigan Victory Fund, Fox News Digital previously reported. The Soros family’s political machine has also dumped millions into political committees that are supporting El-Sayed’s run for Senate.

"Abdul El-Sayed raising dark Soros money in California after begging Chuck Schumer for money in DC is the least surprising thing he’s done all cycle," Alyssa Brouillet, communications director for GOP nominee Mike Rogers' campaign, previously told Fox News Digital. "That’s what a conman does — says one thing and does another. Michiganders can’t trust this guy."
El-Sayed’s campaign has defended itself by arguing that "corporate special interests are spending millions of dollars in dark money to try to buy Rogers a Senate seat because he’s spent his entire career making himself and his billionaire donors richer while Michiganders pay the price."
A story popped up in my X feed a few days ago, and I glossed right over it.
After all, it was about a fashion trend, and I don't care about fashion trends. It was about nail polish, and I definitely don't care about nail polish.
Thank God it wasn't about eyebrow plucking. My wife always asks me what I think when she gets hers done, and I just nod and say they're beautiful, because women apparently care about their eyebrow shape.
I barely even wondered why X fed me that story, and did so more than once. Apparently, I was supposed to care, according to the algorithm, and it turned out it was right.
The story wasn't about fashion at all. It was about how bare fingernails are now considered racist. Because everything is now considered racist.
In recent months, Paloma Buddemeier has watched a stream of people walk into her nail salon with the goal of looking as if they'd never been there at all.
"It's crazy," the owner of Wumman Spa in London says.
These customers still get their nails filed, buffed, and trimmed. "You still do the cuticle, you do the soaking and hydrate everything," says Buddemeier, "but you just put no polish on."
Driving this, she says, is a viral craze for bare-looking nails.
In recent months, artsy shots of glossy naked nails have been flooding social media and taking over fashion runways and red carpets, which some are viewing as the latest symbol of "quiet luxury".
But critics argue the bare nails trend actually says something about class, the hamster wheel of beauty standards, and who gets to define what is considered tasteful.
Nail art's historical and creative roots are linked back to black, Latino, and Asian communities and the suggestion that bare nails are now a sign of high status could stigmatise bold manicures, they say.
"That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities," beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo tells the BBC.
So...if I understand the way that this sort of thing works, women who get their nails painted are appropriating black culture, but women who don't get their nails painted are spitting in the eye of black culture and making a statement that they are better than black women.
You could have written that story either way, and since the trend is for bare-looking nails, it's bare nails that are racist. When the trend reverses, as they always do, that will be racist too. Because cultural appropriation is racist.
The BBC faced so much ridicule over the story that they actually took it down, although the tweet to the link is still up, probably due to social media policies (or laziness).
It's a neat trick, if you can pull it off. In our Manichean world, being racist is the worst thing you can be, and being a victim of racism is the get-out-of-responsibility card for almost any sin.
Frank Luntz, a smart pollster who fell out of favor with the right for refusing to get on board with Donald Trump, just handed Republicans a glimmer of hope for the midterms. And that hope comes from the very man Luntz spent years criticizing.
Luntz's standing with conservatives took a serious hit starting in 2016. As Trump took over the Republican Party, Luntz grew more and more critical of his rhetoric and put real distance between himself and the GOP. A big chunk of the conservative movement tuned him out, and his skepticism toward Trump fueled most of that backlash.
So when Luntz says Trump could carry Republicans to victory in November, it's worth listening.
His polling shows a rough cycle for both parties, but the details favor the GOP. Trump and Republicans aren't polling well, yet Democrats are doing even worse, and they've dug themselves deeper into their media bubbles. Even the turnout advantage Democrats are banking on turns out to be pretty thin.
"I'm looking at a turnout differential that advantages the Democrats by a couple of points, which means that there are more people who oppose Donald Trump, who are planning to vote, than those who support him," Luntz told CNN This Morning on Monday. "There's always been a historical advantage to the party out of power in the midterms, particularly in the first midterms."
A couple of points? That's it?
The party out of power usually walks into its first midterm with the wind at its back, and Democrats can only manage a two-point edge.
Luntz also explained why that edge is so fragile.
Trump's voters show up when he's on the ballot and stay home when he isn't, which makes his absence in November a bigger problem for Republicans than his approval ratings.
"When he is on the ballot, his people come out. They participate," he said. "They did in the on-year elections, 2016 and 2024. And they did not, in 2018. And they did not as much, even when Joe Biden was the president in 2020, for the 2022 election."
The fix is obvious, and Trump is already working on it. Luntz said the whole map hinges on whether the president can get those voters engaged again, starting with the biggest prize.
"But he needs his people to vote in a place like Texas," Luntz continued. "If the Trump voters participate, the Republican nominee in Texas is elected. If the Trump voters don't participate, the Democrats will achieve an upset. It's the same thing in states as small as Iowa, Alaska. It even matters in a state like Ohio."
When CNN's Audie Cornish pressed him on whether that coalition still holds together, Luntz ticked off the groups he's watching. He admitted Trump's Latino numbers have slipped, but said the president "saw the difference" those voters made for him and for down-ballot Republicans. He's also tracking male union voters, who shifted toward the GOP at historic levels in 2024, and voters under 30, who gave Trump more support than young voters usually give a Republican. "And this allowed him to bring over more senators, more congressmen," Luntz said.
Then came the line that should make every Democrat nervous.
"Donald Trump does have more influence on more races than any other Republican, even than Ronald Reagan," Luntz added. "I've never seen a Republican as engaged and involved as this guy. And it matters."
More influence than Reagan. From Frank Luntz, of all people.
Luntz did warn that voters are frustrated with the war, affordability, and Trump's style, and he had a message for the pollster-bashers in Trump's orbit: "The votes are the votes. The results are the results." But he made it clear that the path to victory runs straight through Trump.
"But if he turns out his people, who still like him, still believe in the Trump message and the Trump agenda, we can have an upset," he said.
Democrats have spent months treating a midterm wave as a sure thing. They won't be happy to hear that a pollster who has never been a Trump cheerleader has them polling worse than the GOP, clinging to a turnout lead of just two points, and facing the most engaged Republican he's ever seen.
The upshot is clear:
