Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Burbank Airport will have no air traffic controllers Monday evening, FAA warns Burbank Airport is bracing for impacted operations as air traffic controllers begin to call out in greater numbers due to the government shutdown.

Thanks, Donald Trump!

Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

I just signed legislation to further protect consumers and put money back in your pocket, including:

✅ Making it easier to get food delivery app refunds
✅ Banning car retailers from tacking on add-on services
✅ Strengthening our Financial Protection Department after Trump's gutting of the CFPB

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Trump & his GOP allies in Congress shut down the government as the Epstein Files discharge petition sits just 1 signature short.

Adelita Grijalva is ready to be sworn in, but instead, Speaker Johnson gave House Republicans more vacation time. They seem awfully scared of releasing those files.🤔

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

BREAKING:

The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

The resistance fought valiantly to push back the fascist forces, risking arrest & harm. The fascists tried beating them, tear gassing, and water cannons to push them back. The resistance was armed with only signs, flags, and the strength of their bravery. #3E #GeorgiaProtests

In emergency hearing Sunday night, Immergut accuses administration of violating her order. She reinforces and expands. It’s gonna get ugly.

Lower courts were right when they stopped the the State Department from denying transgender, non-binary, and intersex people accurate identification.

The Trump administration sent federal agents to an ICE processing center in the Chicago area to brutally suppress protesters and the press.

No one should have to fear rubber bullets or tear gas for making their voices heard or reporting on protests.

The ACLU of Illinois is suing.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Q: "Do Democrats not have reason to be concerned that there are long term plans by this administration to keep the U.S. military or National Guard in American cities?"

Leavitt: "You guys are framing this like the president wants to take over American cities with the military."

On the morning of Saturday, October 4, 2025, I spoke to Major General Boyd by phone. In that call, Major General Boyd stated that he had spoken to General Steven S. Nordhaus, Chief of the National Guard Bureau, at or around 10:19 a.m. on Saturday morning. In that call, General Nordhaus informed Major General Boyd that the Department of Defense was seeking 300 Illinois National Guard troops to be deployed in Title 32 status. General Nordhaus told Major General Boyd that if the State of Illinois would not provide the troops in Title 32 status, the troops would be federalized. General Nordhaus stated that Major General Boyd would receive an email with further details and asked that Major General Boyd acknowledge the email.
