ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

And don't stop talking about the Epstein files!

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

We’re on Day 3 of Trump's FORTH shutdown, and GOP Senators are debating whether to go party at a $600/night fundraiser at a luxury golf & beach resort with rich donors.

Government workers get fired or furloughed as Republican senators attend a luxury fundraising weekend.

Thugs.

Spot on.

A Washington Post poll on Thursday found that 47% of respondents were blaming Trump and the GOP compared with just 30% blaming Democrats. Our messaging is working, keep it up! #MAGAShutdown

The Republicans are lying their arses off – at the same time they're trying to make you hate. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for a single penny of healthcare funding.

Don't let Republicans' othering of people whom they hate rub off on you. Do not let their hate infect you.

Screenshot from Politico: SPOTTED: Thune, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso and other GOP pals dining last night at swanky Capitol Hill hotspot Bistro Cacao — where filet mignon and magret de canard go for $45 a head and the cabernet sauvignon list ranges from $60 to $750 a bottle, per Playbook’s Adam Wren. Fine dining on the first night of a government shutdown?

They’re loving it. Your health care is not on their minds.

Gov. Pritzker: "ICE is running around harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace. That’s not making America great."

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

Swear her in.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

GOP lies are coming fast now. They didn't have a clean funding bill; they refused to keep government open unless $90 million in our cash was released for *their* security details. Dems said no, we're not putting ourselves first, we're putting the working class's healthcare—which Trump trashed—first.

Government frozen, Epstein fire🔥 still burning.

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

Folks, I'm not saying the guy claiming to have proof of Mike Johnson's Grinder account is a grifter, and I'm not saying he's not. I have no idea. I don't know him. He could absolutely be telling the truth. But please don't give him money for "legal defense" until he actually needs it. Free advice.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Gee, I wonder why?

It’s a bad look.

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power.

But health care is a human right.

And in America, we have no kings.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

A post on X by Paris Schutz (@paschutz ), a CBS Chicago reporter, timestamped 23 hours ago, includes a photo of a car with a damaged hood and text overlay. The post reports that journalist Asal Rezaei was doing her job when an ICE agent shot directly at her car today, unprovoked, with chemicals entering through an open window, causing her to feel sick for two hours. It mentions no protester was in sight, and she was simply driving by to check the scene, about 50 feet from the entrance, an area local authorities and news organizations have been monitoring for weeks. The post also notes this incident follows the detention and release of journalist Steve Held the previous day.

ICE is out of control. They must be reined in.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.
