Hirono: "I have to conclude that, since no wrongdoing was determined, that Homan kept the money. And I hope he will put that on his tax returns as income."

Other law enforcement officers were present, including Officer Jason Klepec. Officer Klepec told Ms. Reid that he was filming her, in response to her filming the agents. After Ms. Reid was arrested, she was put into the backseat of a car driven by Officer Dinko Residovic. While Ms. Reid was sitting in the backseat, Officer Residovic viewed a video of the incident, captured by cellphone. Ms. Reid recalls that the video clearly showed what the government has alleged was an attempted knee to the groin. She recalls that the angle of the video shows that the knee was not directed at any law enforcement officer but was a reactive movement.

FPD for Sydney Reid (a woman accused of assault after cops manhandled her for filming an ICE arrest) say that the government did not preserve video that one of the officers watching took, which she claims is exculpatory.

They're moving to dismiss the case.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

the article in the QT is solid & if you’re cis & don’t get exactly how grim headlines like “supreme court poised to overturn conversion therapy ban,” please know that the international council for the rehabilitation of torture victims (ICRT) considers conversion therapy torture.

because it is.

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

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

About 1 in 3 US Nobel prize winners are immigrants.
About 1 in 4 were government employees at some point.
About 44% of all Nobel prize winners were educated in US higher education.
As Trump demands a Nobel prize, he is destroying the means by which America came to dominate the prizes.

*Many more neighbors were affected, but you won't get tallies on those numbers from the media because they don't get free ambulance rides and a PR team to issue statements on their behalf

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

I do think Bari Weiss is important for gender equality in that she’s this big dummy who always seems like she’s waiting for her parents to pick her up despite being like 40 and those people are almost always men

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Don't cave. There's too much on the line. They need to prove they are actually interested in governing. You do not.

I would too.

Dems are actually winning this one. Chuck don't blink. Don't fucking blink. Let them sort it out. Even Marge is tired of this.

Federal workers not entitled to back pay after shutdown, budget office says Federal workers may not be entitled to backpay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration’s budget office wrote in a new draft memo obtained by The Washington Post, ratcheting up ten...

Breaking news: Furloughed federal workers are not entitled to automatic back pay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration argues, adding that a law Trump signed guaranteeing back pay to furloughed workers in 2019 does no such thing.

After the shutdown during the 1st Trump admin, Congress passed a law to guarantee back pay for furloughed workers.

That bill was signed into law by Donald Trump.

Workers will be paid.

This chaos is a distraction from Trump's failure to secure a deal to lower health care costs.

Seems like if the administration had a strong legal theory for killing people in the Caribbean, they’d be willing to share it publicly.

By attacking Whitehouse and refusing to answer a direct question, Bondi just confirmed the Department of Justice has incriminating evidence of child sex trafficking that involves Donald Trump and she's refusing to protect children by prosecuting a pedophile.

Bondi should be ashamed of herself.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

DURBIN: You won't even say whether you talked to the WH about this?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any internal conversations with you


D: They're going to transfer TX Guard troops to the state of Illinois. What's the rationale?

B: I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump

Lmaoooo sorry but that's amazing and kinda gives away the plan to, you know, not pay anyone

They want you to think it's magic instead of a shit ton of energy-sucking computers making guesses of words based on plagiarism

I'm sure this will stem the tide of air traffic controllers calling in sick

I wonder why.
