Gov. Pritzker: "ICE is running around harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace. That’s not making America great."

Swear her in.

Swear in the Rep from AZ. She's been in DC since Tues.

Let her vote to release the files.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

Our generals serve the country, not an ex-Fox News clown looking for headlines.

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

More than 10 years after unusually high water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean killed off Northern California’s aquatic kelp forests, the region has still not recovered, reports David Helvarg, executive director of ocean conservation group Blue Frontier, for Mongabay.

Right? All more qualified, more seasoned than Leaky Pete.

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Things still cost too much and people still don’t make enough money.

bragging about how much gold you’re putting in the oval office while all the economic lights on the dashboard are starting to flash red and the government is about to shut down is some shit that would make the marie antoinette caricature wince

Call Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, and ask him why he's protecting pedofiles and childhood sex traffickers.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.

It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake and board seat at TikTok.

Everything is for sale.

That incident was so disturbing. I'm glad there are consequences.

sigh. media corp.s don't care much for the first amendment.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Anti-trust monopoly busting time.
