Out with Schumer and out with Jeffries. It's ENOUGH! Time for new leadership!

Abolish the Presidential Pardon The chief executive shouldn't be able to hand out "get out of jail free" passes to friends and family. Pardons are a bad way to rectify instances of injustice.

The right of a US President to pardon should be abolished. The complete abuse of CHUMP on pardoning, which includes actually SELLING pardons, should not be allowed any longer.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleaguesโ€™ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to โ€œlook up her name online.โ€ He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Yes, Mr. President: Youโ€™re right. We do have โ€œthe worst health careโ€ of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them โ€œviolent mobs,โ€ but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

๐Ÿ“Œ Keep sharing videos, everyone, because theyโ€™re evidence.

Ice agents crashing into US citizens then forcibly detaining them.

They donโ€™t know how to hold guns. They clearly donโ€™t have any training. They obviously arenโ€™t following the laws.

This is embarrassing for our country and dangerous for our citizens.

ICE Detains Citizen After Saying She Doesn't "Look Like" Her Last Name ๐Ÿคฌ

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says heโ€™ll be making โ€œnecessary cutsโ€ to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Chicago priest urges parishioners to leave mass with caution after ICE agents reported nearby Chicago's Rogers Park community remained vigilant after reports of federal agents near a Catholic church during Sunday mass.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."

ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @abugai.bsky.social : โ€œYou said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - Iโ€™d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucksโ€ฆ theyโ€™re usually not the good guys.โ€
