Former Judge Andrew Napolitano, who worked alongside Pete Hegseth for years at Fox, says the Sept. 2 boat strike is "an act of a war crime."

"Everybody along the line who did it, from the secretary of Defense, to the admiral, to the people who actually pulled the trigger should be prosecuted."

When you make fun of busty ladies to make fun of the president, the president doesn't see it but all the busty ladies do and we are vicious, unforgiving, and impervious to pain after years of having random wires digging into our torsos.

Re-upping for the PM crew!

Bill Pullman in Independence Day making his big speech. Guy just climbed up and got on the radio. It was great.

There are not a lot of good fiscal choices in this moment but every single alder playing business as usual should squirm a little.

Now isn't the time to walk down the middle of the street. It's time for Budget Bill Pullman.

(And as always Charles asks the best questions)

And when the inevitable One Future Illinois comes for it I would remind people that our city was just assaulted by its own govt so we are drawing down militarized police presence, we are investing in healing and restoration, we are acknowledging the role strong community played in public safety.

Yesterday @cafetacbva.bsky.social asked me what I would do about the budget if I was the mayor and I think he's in a tough spot but here's the winning message "Trump brought the war to Chicago & I'm going to deliver the peacetime budget Chicago deserves"

And then I would...

Tonight was a very bad night.

I love my Auntie too. She's the best!

Demand an audit of USDA’s budget now. Senate is still around. Call all of them day and night.

Why are they fighting distributing the SNAP funds??? It’s beyond absurd.

The Border Patrol operates on a principle of terror as deterrence and like many other organizations who subscribe to extremist ideology about power and the family they try to control parents by threatening harm to their children.

Top 10 US billionaires’ collective wealth grew by $698bn in past year – report Oxfam warns Trump policies risk driving inequality to new heights – but Democrats have also exacerbated wealth gap

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Another good read. When will we learn that taxing these mf will help with the economy. Neoliberalism has been a failure in which the economic inequilty between the wealthy and the working class poor is at biggest divide in American History since 1800's.

Trump wants filibuster scrapped to end shutdown as top official rejects call to use emergency food stamps funding – live President intervenes in stalemate as agriculture secretary says alternative funding for Snap – which runs out on Saturday, affecting 42 million Americans – would be legally impossible

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Americans will be going hungry. It's absurd that the Republicans and Trump Administration are going to withhold emergency funds, especially with the holiday season around the corner. And they lie about not having any funds left to feed children and our elderly.

If SNAP serves ~1 in 8

Every person in the US - each person in your household - must donate an entire day's worth of food per week to compensate. If you know 3 people who do not donate, you'd need to donate 12 meals/week

Point: do everything you can; also PUSH bc there is only 1 realistic solution

Millions will be impacted by pause in food stamps and other forthcoming changes to SNAP program   • The TRiiBE As the pause in SNAP benefits dominate conversations, the Greater Chicago Food Depository is informing residents about program changes made by the Trump administration.

I didn't fight for the country to have our children go hungry in America.
Every child around the world deserves to have food in their belly.

Once again I am furious that Rollins was confirmed with bipartisan support even though she is a long time benefits cut enthusiast who believes that it is morally correct and good policy to take food away from people.

This is not legal and they do have resources to shift that ensure SNAP benefits are paid. They are choosing to take food away from nearly 42 million Americans, which includes nearly 1 in 4 children.

Trump told Pence ‘you’ll go down as a wimp’ in January 6 phone call, book says Book cites Pence’s notes from call with Trump, who called vice-president a ‘wimp’ if he certified Biden’s 2020 victory

Good read. I'm not surprised by what he said at all. Be aware of the 2028 elections. He didn't want to leave office the first time and he's going to do it again for 2028 presidential elections.

Trump's 'Terrorism' Narrative Puts Dissent in the Crosshairs Donald Trump's administration is accusing its opponents of supporting terrorism, but cities around the US are fighting back.

Here is another amazing article written by the great Tyler Hicks from Inkstink Media. If you haven't read the piece yet, I highly recommend you do. It's very informative and powerful.

Scrutiny grows over Trump competence – but can an unfit president be removed? Impeachment and 25th amendment offer routes for removal – but experts say system is set up to protect the president

Pretty good read about the use of the 25th amendment.

TODAY — At the No Kings rally in Chicago, organizers recognized the work of independent news outlets including The TRiiBE and Unraveled Press, and nonprofit newsroom Block Club Chicago.

Video: CBS Chicago

One thing this moment in Chicago has opened up for me is how many people want to be more involved in each other's lives but aren't sure what the first steps are or if their care is wanted or welcomed.

I have a lot of appreciation for the people who are creating more spaces for people to connect.

Chicago Is Organizing for All Everyday Chicagoans are proving to be the first line of defense against the federal incursion into their city.

A good read. Communities aware ness, participation and engagement is the key to counter this madness.

Great video from the Triibe on what Chicagoans can do to help out our communities throughout the city. Love the reference to the underground railroad! Good job, Triibe we need voices like you more than ever now.

VA’s disability program is an ‘honor system.’ These veterans are defrauding it. Post investigation finds VA’s $193 billion disability program has turned into a rich target for fraudsters. Some fake blindness or paralysis to get as much as $1 million.

www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

I am so disgusted with this article. Has the Washington Post gone down the toilet so much now that they did an article on VA disability fraud. Instead of focusing on Billonares gripping the system and ICE gespto tactics. Have you became the NY Post now.

This is not about crime and safety. In contrast, it's about martial law for 2026 and 2028 elections.

Until June 24, the rule for holding immigrants at Broadview was 12 hours. Then the Trump Admin quietly changed the rule, increasing the max to 72 hours. And still they're holding people beyond that time as well.
