'Fyodor Dostoevsky’s dissection of power’s corruption: dominance dehumanizes the oppressor first. Cruelty isn’t just an act—it’s a degenerative disease of the soul. True strength protects; only weakness delights in degradation.' - Daily Stoic

#Chicago has been voted the “Best Big City” for the 9th year in a row by readers of the travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler.

To trump it's a war zone.

Blue states are under attack from an enemy within. That enemy is the president. Trump is on the precipice of invoking the Insurrection Act, to be followed by martial law. This is the death knell of democracy. Trump is seizing ultimate power in the same way as Hitler did in 1933.

Trump's stunt to send National Guard to Portland would cost an estimated $10 million in taxpayer dollars. Follow along to see what Portlanders would rather do with 10 million dollars.
 
Portland is not a war zone—It’s our home.

Trump’s Little Johnson’s refusal to seat Adelita Grijalva in a timely fashion should result in a motion to vacate the speakership. I believe such a motion can be brought by any House member. Why don’t Democrats bring it?

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Never never never give up

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

No matter how hot or cold a room is, it's still room temperature.

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

Stop private equity from buying single-family homes.

Instead, give young Americans low-interest mortgages & downpayment help to buy them.

Homes for young families, not Wall Street.

That’s new economic patriotism.

Oh, she is giving so much material for the Nuremberg 2 prosecutors to work with. Question: Is being a snotty adolescent a crime against humanity?

Pam Bondi’s testimony on Capitol Hill convinces me that I need to see the Epstein files even more. Release the Epstein files.

A day in the Portland war zone

The Portland War Zone isn't for everyone but at least the chaos is locally sourced.

5-tour military vet calls #ICE agents traitors and tells them to prepare for a one-way mission if they come to his neighborhood #chicago #portland

Now THAT’S true patriotism 🇺🇸

The United States is deliberately coordinating efforts to protect the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. It's being coordinated and directed from the Oval Office.

Durbin on Epstein Files: Who gave the orders to flag records related to president trump? To flag any records which included his name? 

Bondi: I'm not going to discuss anything about that with you

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

I gave up Star Trek for this. Hope America appreciates my sacrifice.

Even during a shutdown, TSA officers & air traffic controllers are showing up without pay to keep our airports running. While I delivered them donuts, I checked in with travelers to make sure they knew they were visiting a "war zone.”
 
It's clear Portland is not a military target. It's home.

Chicago is not laying down for ICE!
This is what community looks like!
