Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

If it makes grandpa happy, then the puppet masters are happy

I think this is right. I like mayo and deeply deeply hate Miracle Whip - they are NOT the same

I am simultaneously fascinated and dismayed by the amount of politics in law

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

And if there is a way to get Johnson out of the way to restart Congress, the media should be reporting on that too

Are there any Rs other than Rand and MTG who give a shit and can vote to oust Johnson as speaker? Anyone? Bueller?

Pentagon accepts $130 million donation to help pay the military during the government shutdown The Pentagon has confirmed it's accepted an anonymous $130 million gift to help pay members of the military during the government shutdown.

🚨 A billionaire donates $130 million to pay soldiers during the shutdown, and a kleptocracy grows stronger, tightening the grip of Republican Party authoritarian rule in America.

Horrifying, but also, how absolutely savage that this is published in the peer-reviewed literature 🔥

(And the answer is not that the House is not in session, so…)

Trump in July: "It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

Now:

Yeah, not spending money is definitely a protest I can get behind, particularly when I have none left for Christmas shopping

I’m so impressed by the college’s responses. Well done Harper

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

She thinks sharing the messages puts her in a good light? What an idiot.

Thanks for your reporting - really appreciate it!

Thank you for your reporting!

A 60 second summary of some of the biggest and best sights from #NoKings Day.

Congratulations to every single organizer, volunteer and attendee👏

History.

All I see is an AI generated tantrum…which basically proves our point

Nope. No. Just…no

A Facebook post by Sara Whitmer recounts how Indiana University abruptly ended the print edition of its student newspaper, The Indiana Daily Student, before Homecoming because the issue criticized university leadership. Purdue University’s student paper, The Exponent, printed and delivered the banned edition overnight in solidarity. The post celebrates student courage and calls for active resistance through solidarity.

🔥 When Indiana silenced its student press, Purdue broke the silence. Rivalry became rebellion as students printed the forbidden paper and carried it through the night to Bloomington. This is what freedom looks like when courage refuses permission.

Let’s go Arlington Heights!! #nokings #50501 #indivisibleillinois

All these #NoKings photos and posts are giving me goosebumps! Showing the admin that we are not okay with this - ANY of this!

Will be watching out any agitators at the marches around Chicagoland today. All they need is an excuse…

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer. @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Heck yeah! “The 18-page opinion, which sets up a potential appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court... [Judge] Rovner was nominated to the appellate court by President George H. W. Bush; Hamilton was nominated by President Barack Obama; and St. Eve was nominated by Trump.

Well done, sir!

I’m so sick of seeing articles that refer to ICE as law enforcement. Or showing photos with these goons wearing gear with “Police” on it without correction. They are immigration and customs enforcement. Not police. And at the moment they are absolutely lawless
