A federal judge's repeated stays blocking the end of Temporary Protected Status for Somalis finally ran out today, clearing the way for termination after months of what DHS called open defiance of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Luigi Mangione stood up in federal court and admitted it himself: "I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan, and he died" — a guilty plea that guts a year of online conspiracy theories and folk-hero mythmaking overnight. And Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is having the worst 48 hours of his campaign. TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN: - Temporary Protected Status for Somalia officially expires today after Judge Allison Burroughs' latest stay lapsed, following a Supreme Court ruling that lower courts can't override DHS on TPS terminations - Luigi Mangione pleads guilty in federal court to stalking charges tied to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, admitting "I shot Mr. Thompson" on the record — a plea that could still collide with his separate state murder trial next month - Chaos at the Iowa State Fair as Democrats stumble through soapbox season, with agriculture secretary candidate Chris Jones facing brutal blowback over resurfaced comments calling farming "not that hard" and Iowa farmers "wealthy, older white guys" - Abdul El-Sayed's campaign is reeling from two fresh scandals in 48 hours — records showing nearly 4,700 dogs and cats euthanized at Detroit Animal Control on his watch as health director, and his sister, a University of Chicago professor, resurfacing in old video celebrating October 7th - Is the Strait of Hormuz about to become a U.S. territory?
