NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.
30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.
Blue Wave or Red, White & Blue Wave?
This was purple mountain majesty, across the fruited plain when you look at the reach, and voters over 45 powered the results... full episode at;

I get more messages from ICE officers about this than anything else. 'We don't know who we're supposed to go after. Are we arresting everybody, or are we just arresting people with criminal histories?' link ⬇️

Now that Susie Wiles is out, we're seeing more reporting about what some say was a pay to play situation in order to get your issues in front of President Trump. @maggieNYT If this was so widely known, why wasn't there more reporting on this sooner? thedailybeast.com/donald-tru…

👀 Post-election text from tenured ICE source
This source and others have lamented to me that the new hires have inadequate training and being assigned to the field with rookies is a liability for experienced officers.

Looking pretty likely this is going to happen for him unless there's some unknown source of Hyde-Smith votes. Mississippi doesn't have automatic recounts either, although they usually wouldn't flip a 1,138-vote margin anyway.
Per the Mississippi Free Press, Democrat Scott Colom leads incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by 1,138 votes, up from 65, with 96% counted. Votes remain in Democratic-leaning Hinds County and thousands of affidavit ballots.
>95% Reported
🔵 Scott Colom – 464,926 (49.0%)
🔴 Cindy Hyde-Smith – 463,788 (48.9%)
Results per AP

Let's be clear to all the pundits, psychophants and morons who talk about Florida being a firewall, we won #MiamiDade County last night, @AngieNixon got more votes than Jollie. This is a new dawn in Florida. The enemy is running and we have to chase them into the ocean and drown them in this #BlueWave. We got rid of the Republican super majority in the #Florida House and Senate, a 12 term incumbent, was almost beaten by a first time novice, @locklin2026,with no money and no support, and the massive shift of Latinos across the country also happened here, while #Cubans start at a bad place, they moved to a much better place. Congratulations #Democrats look forward to serving with this team, and fighting the good fight.

If the committees that reserved $272M in TV this cycle can’t find room for that, the problem isn’t the voters. wgcu.org/elections/2026-11-0…

FL-28 money: Giménez $722K, Ehr $508K, of which $343K was Ehr’s own loan. HMP named Giménez as a target in April. No HMP ads ever showed up in the district that I can find. Ehr was never on Red to Blue or Districts in Play.

Money on the ground in FL-27: Salazar $2.52M raised, Rodriguez $1.57M. Rodriguez outraised her in Q3 ($723K to $418K) with no PAC money. He lost by roughly one vote per precinct.

House Majority PAC had pledged $9M for Miami in April. After the ad it reported plans for ~$2M in TV and $800K digital in FL-27. Then, the week before the election, it pulled $750K back out and exited Central Florida entirely.

That ad, not DCCC’s own targeting, is what moved the money. FL-27 had been on Districts in Play since April 2025. Rodriguez got Red to Blue on Oct. 5, less than four weeks out, after an internal showed 45-45. Candidate #46 on the list.

FL-27 (Salazar). Lines barely changed. Trump +15 in 2024. Salazar won by 20 in 2024, by 15 in 2022.
Last night: 50.27 to 49.73. State count has Salazar up 1,325 votes, 0.54%, a hair outside the automatic recount line.

Who is Nicole Locklin? A first-time candidate who announced May 4, raised ~$600K (about $250K her money), and never had a primary. Diaz-Balart raised $2.8M, got a late Trump endorsement, and still only won Miami-Dade by 22 while she carried Broward by 22. miramarflnews.com/news/local…

Here is Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau's letter to former acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. He wanted this conversation kept secret. Four months after issuing the highest level "Do Not Travel" advisory to the Central African Republic, he penned this secret memo.
A man had protection from being deported to Nicaragua so ICE to the Central African Republican where he is apparently living under 24-hour armed guard in a country with rampant civil unrest.
A judge has ordered the agency to facilitate his return. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

This is happening after the misappropriation of more than one billion dollars from Florida’s emergency fund towards the concentration camp Alligator Alcatraz. DeSantis allowed it, AG James Uthmeier made it happen, and CFO Blaise Ingoglia enabled it.
Aerial footage shows the streets of Port St. Lucie, Florida underwater on Monday, as torrential rain brought widespread flooding to the area.
Officials declared a state of emergency and warned residents to avoid all unnecessary travel as widespread road closures were in place. A flash flood warning remained in place for the city and surrounding areas on Monday evening, according to the National Weather Service.
