"We are closing up Democrat programs that we disagree with, and they’re never going to open again.”
No, these are not Democratic or Republican programs—these are life-saving resources that help families make ends meet.
This is illegal & everyone will be harmed.
“We are under attack by our own federal government,” says Congressmember Delia Ramirez of Trump’s immigration crackdown in Chicago.

#WolffBites: A president stretches the law to enhance powers that include killing. It is a desperate gesture trying to offset the decline of the empire and its "rules-based international order." All previous empires declined despite such gestures.

Zohran Mandani for mayor placard.
All the years I've lived in Manhattan we have never had door knockers from campaigns. Takes a lot of drive to hit all the buzzers at an apartment building and come upstairs.
Polite, informed volunteers. This campaign is out in full force.
Who really put this plan together. Is he able to read and write? Asking for a friend…

Partisan politics to cut people off period seems the agenda. A long range plan of cruelty and hate to benefit billionaires.

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor.
“He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said.

Let's get this straight: Speaker Johnson canceled session and refuses to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the 218th signer of the discharge petition to force a vote to release the Epstein files.
Bring us back in session, release the files, and let's open the government.

As a parent and woman of faith, I am deeply relieved that surviving Israeli hostages and detained Palestinians are finally being reunited with their families. And my heart remains shattered for those whose loved ones didn't make it home today.

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.
Hell yes we do

Echoing Leo’s consistent ethic of life remarks this week, and without mentioning Trump’s ICE invasion on Chicago streets, at Sat. Vigil Mass, Cardinal Cupich says: “If we are inclined to support legislation that protects the unborn, we also should be open to the immigrant that is at our doorstep.”
