A partial list of what Bovino does not have to tell a federal judge happened today:
*An agent pushed a City Council member in Albany Park
*Agents deployed pepper spray in Albany Park & Evanston
*Agents were involved in a car crash in Evanston
*An agent pointed a gun at a woman in Evanston

Love this….Manny’s Deli in Chicago will be feeding the community that needs help starting Monday….this is the way 💪 since our government/MAGAs want people to starve

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Donald Trump is demolishing part of the White House—the People’s House—to build his own grand ballroom and put his billionaire friends’ names all over it.

@robertgarcia.house.gov, @repyassansari.bsky.social, and @naturalresources.bsky.social's @rephuffman.bsky.social are demanding answers.

“Although I spent many of my formative years living in the White House, I always knew it wasn’t my house. It was my home, absolutely, but not my house. The White House belongs to the American people, and that’s why we call it the People’s House.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Want to know why health insurance in America is so damned expensive, and unreliable when you actually need it? Read this interview. Educated me, for sure.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov and Mayor Brandon Johnson need to channel the ghost of Richard Daley.

At 3am in the morning, have 30 dump trucks of sand dumped around that ICE facility, and declare the streets under construction.

The problem is capitalism. Capitalists monetized everything. The media, government, nearly every aspect of living.

I think he's doing this to cause chaos in the blue cities, but also to show Canada, 'Look what chaos I can bring to your country if you don't play my tarrif games'. This is the worst administration.

Sometimes, when reading these headlines, I feel like I've been dropped into a weird math/grammar combo class.

4. In one example that received significant news coverage, on September 6, 2025, Trump posted on social media an image of the Chicago skyline in flames, stating “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” including a depiction of himself in the image of the fictitious warmonger character Lt. Col. Kilgore from the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, titling the post “Chipocalypse Now.”

Trump's Truth Social posts might doom his invasion of Chicago just like they did in Portland.

From a just-filed lawsuit.

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers ‘It seems like cruelty is the point,’ one attorney said.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

Student journalists fight Trump’s anti-speech deportations ‘Whether working for or speaking to our newspaper, no one should fear deportation for what they have to say,’ said The Stanford Daily Editor-in-Chief Greta Reich

Corporate media could learn a thing or two from the Stanford Daily about fighting back.

With the help of @thefireorg.bsky.social, the Daily is suing over Trump’s anti-speech deportation tactics.

Read more about why, in our interview with Editor-in-Chief Greta Reich.

If FIFA won't ban Israel for committing genocide in Gaza, then other countries should boycott all FIFA tournaments.

Russia rightly gets banned for starting an unprovoked war. But somehow, it's okay for Israel to reduce the entirety of Gaza to rubble?

LOOK. AT. THIS.

78 % of U.S. adults say Congress should extend the ACA subsidies.

Only 22 % favor letting them expire. 
- Support spans party lines:
• 92 % of Democrats
• 82 % of independents
• 59 % of Republicans (including MAGA-aligned Republicans!!!) - Kaiser

Brazil’s supreme court finds Bolsonaro guilty of plotting military coup Former president faces decades-long jail sentence for seeking to forcibly cling to power after losing 2022 election

"A majority of Brazil’s supreme court judges have voted to convict the country’s former president Jair Bolsonaro of plotting a military coup, leaving the far-right populist facing a decades-long sentence for leading the criminal conspiracy."

Trump has thrown sand into the gears of the American economy.

Blumenthal: They’ve exhausted the 120 days for Alina Habba, and so they’ve tried to make her acting US Attorney. But the statutes simply don’t authorize that. A judge has concluded she is without authority for any of the actions she’s taken. Everything she’s done could be challenged.

The very best you could hope for from MAGA is that they're ignoring or obfuscating the horrible for greed, and it just gets worse from there.

“Reality has a well-known liberal bias” – a phrase Stephen Colbert, in character as a conservative pundit, coined in 2006 – really captures a general sentiment that has always been a core element of modern conservatism’s political identity.

Now these guys are leaving reality behind entirely.

Hell yes, in a stunning upset tonight, Democratic candidate Catelin Drey has won the special election for Iowa State Senate and has flipped the seat from red to blue thus ending the Iowa fascist GOP supermajority in the state senate. Let’s keep this going. 💙👊👏

I have purchased a 6TB HDD, and moved as much data from the cloud as possible.

Might take a little more, but yeah.

I just got back from a visit to Boston, and I went to the Old State House. They have a great exhibit on the Boston tea party. I think we need something equivalent to today's tea. I'm thinking AI data centers, crypto.
