Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Rent, groceries on minds of US military families in Asia Pacific as government shutdown continues Americans with the U.S. military in the Pacific are concerned about how they will afford groceries and rent if the shutdown continues.

One week into a federal government shutdown, U.S. service members, DOD civilian employees and their families in Japan and South Korea were taking stock and asking how much longer, with affording groceries and rent the main concerns.

“.. How can anyone in Congress — Democrats or Republicans — make a budget ‘deal’ with this administration if we now know the President is going to ignore implementing any part of the ‘deal’ he wants?”

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

At Oversight Hearing, AG Bondi Responds to Questions With Attacks Instead of Answers At Oversight Hearing, AG Bondi Responds to Questions With Attacks Instead of Answers

At a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi hurled insults at Democrats in response to their questions about the stark politicization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) since she took office. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

The United States is deliberately coordinating efforts to protect the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. It's being coordinated and directed from the Oval Office.

Stephen Miller just said the quiet part out loud claiming that Trump has plenary authority when it comes to deploying troops. (Plenary means full authority.) After making the statement, he froze completely, like a deer in headlights. The video is worth watching.

Phang: How are these Epstein victims supposed to feel about closure when you see Blanche meeting with Maxwell and then giving her a minimum-security camp move?

And now, conversations allegedly that Trump is going to have with the DOJ about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. It is an abomination

I'm not aware of any Attorney General, no matter how harshly grilled by the opposing party, who conducted themselves at a hearing with the hostility and open contempt that Pam Bondi did today.

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

My God look at those eyes

Any police officer knows what we are looking at there

Sen. Adam Schiff listed the questions Pam Bondi has refused to answer:
 
1. Whether she consulted ethics lawyers before Trump accepted that Qatari plane

2. Which DOJ officials ordered Trump's name be flagged when found in the Epstein files

Sounding like a shell game to me.

Welfare for farmers

“Patriot Farmers” are more like “Welfare Socialist Farmers.”

Besides it was really just a tax on the American consumer.

Just came from the grocery store.

Everyone is pissed.

Bingo. He is not a businessman he is a mafia con man

Oh come on, it was always a slush fund for Trump to buy off whoever and whatever he wants, for power. It's all about power.

Welfare for the farmers

“.. there is the question of how the bond market will react to tariff revenue being redirected away from lowering the deficit.”

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

What are in the Epstein files that is worth keeping the government shutdown?

It's a lie. And completely teched.

Notice her non-answer.

This is explosive. Should be explosive. The US AG who said she had the Epstein files on her desk cannot say whether or not the FBI has pix of Trump with half-naked women, which one witness who knew Epstein has said he has seen.

“..’ Our family gatherings are filled with crying and trying to figure out how we get past this moment,” Mr. Aguayo said. “People are being terrorized. People are being attacked. That’s what it feels like.”
