California announces coalition of Governors forming new alliance to protect public health from political interference

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Thanks, New Yorker

Best Big City: Chicago Wins Award 9th Year in a Row Learn why Chicago was voted the Best Big City for the 9th consecutive year by exploring our vibrant culture, welcoming inclusion, and so much more.

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW.

While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Every. Single. One.

While their healthcare is covered by their "public service."

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted the GOP could end the shutdown anytime they wanted, they control all the branches of government. Broken clock’s right twice a day.

Frighteningly true.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

And making up lies to do it.

few things to note about this story:

- the batshit last bit, obvi;
- the Strib put a lot of bylines on this, which is good, but I would especially note that this story was fact checked by a Minnesota woman named MaryJo and my experience with such women suggests that they do not suffer bullshit

It's terrifying. Hegseth wants to turn the military on US citizens exercising their first amendment rights.

How is this not #politicalviolence? OH! Because it portrays violence against the left. That's apparently OK with this administration.
#gophypocrisy

Also a far better diet, more exercise ...

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Bernie Sanders issues warning ahead of midterm elections Sanders has increased his warnings to Democrats and the public as the 2026 midterm elections approach.

The #GOP has shown they have no honor, integrity, or care for this country and democracy.

All they care about is power.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Just naked and brazen corruption. All states represented by Democrats in the Senate.

Time to stiffen our spines and demand that we only fund a government that obeys the law.

No need to be scared of him. The trend is clear - everyone outside of his hard base is abandoning him.

Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia With Biden, AI Mode will provide a summarized answer.

"Google is blocking #AI searches for #Trump and dementia"

Though you can still #Google them for other #Presidents.

All this does is confirm the #GOP is hiding something.

Republicans just brought the House into session for a total of 2 minutes.
 
Democrats tried to bring up legislation to keep government open, keep children on their insurance, and keep health care costs from doubling.
 
Then they adjourned. The GOP will own this shutdown.

Valid question. One that should never have to be asked.

FUN FACT: Social Security and Medicare are mandatory spending programs that are unaffected by government shutdowns. So, what they're telling you here is that they *voluntarily* want to stop giving you your money and health care.
