President Donald Trump is on the road to support Republican Senate nominees, including Michael Whatley in North Carolina and former congressman Mike Rogers in Michigan. Trump’s Kansas rally also featured a $8 bn aid package for farmers hit by soaring diesel prices, a cost that has nearly doubled since last year due to the U.S. war on Iran. The announcement came 15 days before the midterm elections, as Republicans face growing voter anger over fuel costs and the war. Trump’s remarks also touched on the French riots, repeating unverified claims that mass migration caused the unrest, despite no evidence from French authorities. The president’s presence in Kansas underscored the urgency of the electoral challenges ahead.

The United States ordered federal civilian agencies to remove products from the Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek over national security concerns. The Department of Homeland Security issued the order in July, citing that DeepSeek’s China‑based servers could expose sensitive U.S. data. Beijing’s foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning criticized the ban as politicizing technology and pledged to safeguard Chinese companies’ rights. The dispute comes ahead of a planned November meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, where artificial intelligence is expected to be on the agenda.

Federal investigators questioned Sahra Noor, older sister of Representative Ilhan Omar, following a Homeland Security Investigations raid on Omar’s Washington, D.C. residence. The raid, conducted on October twelfth, 2026, was part of an immigration fraud probe into whether Omar or her father falsified citizenship documents. Noor voluntarily spoke with agents after the search, and her book tour stop in Minnesota was canceled amid the fallout. Omar’s personal belongings were seized, and her attorneys demanded the return of some property. The investigation has prompted calls for denaturalization if allegations are proven.

A Guardian investigation found that Louisiana’s justice of the peace courts may violate tenants’ constitutional rights by allowing eviction fees to boost judges’ incomes.

In a case in Baton Rouge, Marchana Watts, who earned $20 an hour as an insurance analyst, presented receipts proving she had paid $950 in rent for a year and a half.

The judge, Tracy Batieste, reportedly ignored her evidence and instead focused on a court fee, instructing the trailer‑park manager to pay.

The judge accepted a $100 bill and told Watts she had 24 hours to move.

Louisiana’s 390 part‑time justices of the peace handle thousands of evictions each year, earning income directly from court fees that can exceed $150 per case.

Advocates argue that the fee‑based compensation creates a conflict of interest that incentivizes judges to favor landlords and expedite evictions.

Bradley Benton, a former legal‑aid attorney, said landlords prefer justice of the peace courts because they are faster, cheaper, and easier to win against tenants.

In one suburban court, eviction fees helped a part‑time judge earn more than $400,000 last year, surpassing the chief justice of the United States.
