WGN-TV producer detained during ICE enforcement action in Lincoln Square A WGN-TV video editor and producer was roughly detained by two Border Patrol agents on Friday morning during a highly visible rush hour enforcement action in Lincoln Square.

Outrageous -- and apparently in blatant violation of yesterday's ruling protecting protesters and journalists from this kind of shit. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/10/w...

Vought sounds layoff siren: ‘The RIFs have begun’ At least nine agencies appear to be affected.

Donald Trump has been illegally shutting down the parts of government he doesn't like and firing tens of thousands of federal workers since Day One.

Republicans’ shutdown doesn't give him any more power to create chaos.

It’s workers and the American people who will suffer.

A Letter to America’s Discarded Public Servants: You Deserved Better

Bluesky was all “Everything being public is great, blocklists and labelers are fine, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs!” until their CEO got called out using that public information. User who called her out? Permabanned. Labeler lists? The maker ”voluntarily“ dismantled it. Mm-hmm

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Trump administration considers sale of federal student loan debt The discussions have taken place among senior Education Department and Treasury Department officials.

Donald Trump wants to sell YOUR student loan debt to Wall Street.

He's not looking out for you — he's looking to make his CEO buddies more money off of your back.

The President of the United States is openly seeking revenge on his political opponents.

First Jim Comey. Now Tish James. Anyone who seeks to hold Donald Trump accountable could be next.

Trump is ripping a page right out of the authoritarian handbook.

ICE is openly terrorizing my neighborhood today, including an elementary school, and these asshats need to be held accountable to the fullest possible extent on the other side of all this.

This is a big deal.

Remember this as Trump goes on about being "tough on crime."

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

When the people speak up in a unified voice, the powerful are forced to listen. Microsoft has pulled its plans for a Caledonia data center after opposition from residents and elected officials.

"Based on the community feedback we heard, we have chosen not to move forward with this site."

Bill Gates: $106B | Microsoft: $3.9T
Jeff Bezos: $232.5B | Amazon: $2.3T
Larry Page: $204.2B | Google: $2.84T
Mark Zuckerberg: $243.5B | Meta: $1.8T

Can someone please explain why on earth we’re paying the power & water bills for their data centers?

Microsoft has withdrawn its proposal for a data center in a Milwaukee suburbs after community pushback.

After opposition from area residents and elected officials the 244 acre Caledonia project will not proceed.

As troops invade Chicago, Trump threatens to jail the mayor and governor "What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?"

This morning, Trump declared that the mayor of Chicago, Democrat Brandon Johnson, “should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!”

“Governor Pritzker also!” Trump added.

If you think these threats are just bluster, consider that Comey was arraigned today—a longtime dream of Trump’s.

As the Trump administration dramatically reshapes the U.S. public education system, ProPublica’s reporters are investigating how these changes affect people across the country.

The Trump Admin’s assault on federal workers is nothing new. They have no regard for the public servants who are currently going without pay because of the shutdown they continue to prolong.
 
I spoke with federal workers in New Jersey. They see the lawlessness and are asking me to hold the line.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

“You - can - leave!”
