A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

No, no, no. Trump said this is all lies, and he usually is pretty accurate when he cites numbers and statistics.

Republicans have just rejected the Democrats offer to end the shutdown, per CBS

Exactly. Similarly, the quickest way for an NYPD boss to be promoted is to bash and arrest protesters. Commanders who put hands on people become chiefs.

Trump Escalates Tyranny in Chicago Having a common enemy sometimes unifies people, whether an unhoused Venezuelan migrant in Bronzeville or a mother in a South Shore apartment.

"After the federal mass-deportation initiative dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz” hit the shelter, a meeting was held the next day. Black residents affirmed they stood with Latino residents and the raid impacted everyone. Afterward folks were less divided by race..."

Minutes after MAGA congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced her candidacy for #NYGov, a Team Hochul Twitter account for @governor.ny.gov posted this ad.

And boy, it's savage!

Jeffries: "Stefanik is nothing more than a handmaiden for Trump's extreme policies. She's a sycophant. If Elise Stefanik really wants to do something about the cost of living, she should tell her boss, Trump, to end these reckless tariffs which are increasing costs by thousands per year on familie"
