Every politician who calls this “freedom” should be dragged back to the dirt roads they forgot. We are not the fringe. We are the foundation.
The working class is not your ATM, your cannon fodder, or your political theater. We are the muscle behind the myth … and we are wide awake now.

Jerk, thinks she is above others!

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Zach Bryan’s Lyrics About ICE ‘Bashing Down Your Door’ Slammed by Homeland Security Official: ‘Stick to “Pink Skies”’ A Department of Homeland Security official slammed Zach Bryan's new, apparently anti-ICE song, saying the singer should 'stick to 'Pink Skies.''

Good for Zach Bryan.

ICE Protest sign in Chicago this weekend.

CHICAGO—People are marching in the streets to protest Donald Trump’s federal invasion and the aggressive harassment of citizens.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Rudy Giuliani has reached a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in its $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit over his baseless 2020 election-rigging claims. https://cnn.it/4gKV12g

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Who’s after Kimmel? Corporate-owned media is bending the knee to our dim-witted dictator

"Comedians are being censored, fired and attacked by their government for mocking a criminal president.
For telling jokes.
For telling the truth.
In the United States of America."

Happy Mexican Independence Day, Illinois.

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

A TruthSocial post from Donald Trump, featuring an AI generated image of him in front of Chicago burning and under invasion with the words “Chipocalypse Now” near him stylized like the poster for the film Apocalypse Now. The text accompanying the post reads “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁”

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.

This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

As your Governor, I won’t stop fighting to defend your reproductive freedom.

You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.

Do it!

Why did I want to become Governor of Illinois? I wanted to help people.

Trump claims the G20 insisted to have next year’s gathering at the Doral club he owns and profits from and suggests he’ll actually lose money from it

Massie files Epstein discharge petition Live updates and analysis from POLITICO’s Congress team.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

This seems important…

🚨 Trump is set to make a televised announcement from the Oval Office on September 2, 2025, at 2 PM ET.

My hot take: the new Cracker Barrel logo isn't great. the old one sucked. their food isn't great. also, who gives a shit?

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Guard not needed in Chicago, Pritzker tells AP during tour of city to counter Trump’s crime claims Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is doubling down on his message to President Donald Trump that the nation’s third-largest city doesn’t need or want military intervention to fight crime.

We don’t need or want you here, Donald.
