I love the N. IL Food Bank and Sierra Club. BUT, I wish we lived in a country where they did not have to exist because the government ensured it's people had food and the environment was protected. Since we don't, I support Indivisible and Field Team 6.

Trump just ordered his top generals to crush "the enemy within" - left-wing Americans Trump may not have managed to be dictator on day one, but the fascist squatting in the Whitehouse is having a pretty good crack at it now

All I read lately about US and its president ends in my mind with "So this is how he wants to progress to an absolute dictatorship."

It's so depressing to think of victims of his executive orders and speeches. It's so awful to see it happening.

Are we going to act against it soon enough?

Trumpโ€™s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Letโ€™s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Chicago is not the enemy. Fellow Americans are not the enemy.

Attorney General Bondi is enabling President Trumpโ€™s war on Americans.

I think reporting like the reporting done at @zeteo.com is not only well worth the small price required, but is ESSENTIAL to help protect our democracy!

Still can't get over that two "men" wearing more makeup than their wives just stood on stage and lectured 800+ military generals on how to be "real men." Satire did a triple backflip.

Same guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times shut down the U.S. government 4 times in 5 years of being President. They wanted him to run the government like his businesses and thatโ€™s exactly what heโ€™s doing.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Since day one, Trump has worked to unravel protections our air, water, and environment.

Now, he & Republicans are holding our gov hostage to raise energy & healthcare costs to benefit their millionaire and billionaire friends.

Republicans want to rip away healthcare from millions of Americans โ€” and the GOP has forced a government shutdown to do it.

It has to be illegal for the government to post false information on their website. Iโ€™m going to alert my congressman.

Done.

My feedback, summarized.

The language in the banner related to the shutdown is a disgrace.

Republicans control all three branches of the government; this shutdown is on them.

This website is intended to provide resources to all Americans. Stop using it to push republican propaganda.
