This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Three Chinese reconnaissance satellites flew over the Lviv region 9 times today from 00:00 to 11:30. The satellite was also detected in the morning over Dnipro.

Earlier, intelligence had already warned that China was providing Russia with satellite data for missile strikes.

Trump administration demands universities sign up to โ€˜compactโ€™ in return for funding Critics say linking funds to adherence to the White Houseโ€™s principles undermines academic freedom

Federal funding to universities is appropriated by Congress. Trump asks them to sign an "agreement" to get preference for future funding. This is exerting control over higher ed.

History rhymes. University professors in Italy were subjected to this in 1931 by Mussolini.

" National security directive NSPM-7 stipulates that anyone who insults Trump, calls him or his enablers 'fascist,' or opposes Christo-nationalism is anti-American. Anyone deemed 'anti-American' is a proper target of persecution."

The GOPโ€™s Big Lie: โ€œDems want free healthcare for undocumented people!!โ€

Reality: hospitals spent <1% of Medicare funds on emergency care for undocumented people from 2017โ€“23.

They hype pennies while slashing care for millions of Americans and sending $20 BILLION to Argentina.

Trump says the US is in "armed conflict" with drug cartels.

Meanwhile, his DOJ is disbanding a task force that took on cartels.

Trump doesn't care about stopping drug trafficking โ€” he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

This is a power grab.

Trump asks Supreme Court to uphold birthright citizenship restrictions he wants to impose President Donald Trump's administration is asking theย Supreme Courtย to uphold hisย birthright citizenshipย order declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.

President Trump's executive order that aims to decimate the 14th Amendment is blatantly illegal.

We will continue fighting to protect the right to birthright citizenship.

Targeting Blue States to cut government funding is an obscenely shoddy version of partisan politics, especially since it is those Blue States that disproportionately paid for that funding.

Vought isn't going to cut funding for Mississippi, which Illinois paid for, because that state voted Trump.
