Radio Free Asia Will Halt News Operations Amid Shutdown Until this month, Radio Free Asia had successfully resisted Trump officials who had tried to render it obsolete.

Breaking News: Radio Free Asia will shut down its operations for the first time since its founding in 1996, after being targeted by the Trump administration.

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved.

Trump today:

YouTube video by Vatican News - English Pope Francis: We cannot go back to old ways after the pandemic

Five years ago, Pope Francis was regularly warning of the need to learn from the pandemic crisis in order to avoid repeating past mistakes.
He highlighted, especially, failures in social justice and care of our fragile environment.
Were his warnings heeded?

Clarence Thomas likens old rulings that protect our rights to trains driven by monkeys.

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

House Republicans may be planning a "boneheaded" move in response to the looming threat of a government shutdown, Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman told MSNBC's Katy Tur on Friday afternoon.

Pope Leo to Diocese of Rome: "It seems urgent to shape a pastoral approach that is compassionate, empathetic, discreet, and non-judgmental—one that knows how to welcome everyone and can offer pathways that are as personalized as possible, suited to the different life situations of those we serve."

Pope Leo: “An act performed according to law is certainly performed according to justice, and it is impossible for an act to be truly lawful if it is carried out against justice...A state without justice is not a state. Justice is, in fact, the virtue that gives to each person what is due to them.”

There’s a terrible situation at an ICE facility in Chicago. ICE GOONS are forcefully arresting people, pushing through protesters, and even lobbing tear gas at reporters.

Pope Leo: “My thoughts turn to the evangelical fortitude of Sister Dorothy Stang, committed to the landless in the Amazon: when those who were about to kill her asked her for a weapon, she showed them her Bible and replied, ‘This is my only weapon.’”

NEW: The House Oversight Committee just received files from the Epstein estate.

The estate was expected to include Epstein's now-infamous birthday book in the materials it handed over. @MSNBC

As called by Chris Brown on Buffalo Bills radio:

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING

Epstein Birthday Letter With Trump’s Signature Revealed Lawyers for Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book.

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Trump: "Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR"

This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something

A hoard of people march in the streets with protest signs. Even in heels, I am too short to properly show the massive scale of the crowd.

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump.

Join us.

As many as 100 Epstein victims will attend Washington rally Wednesday The rally comes as lawmakers Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) want a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to force Attorney General Pam Bondi to release Epstein files.

100 VICTIMS is astounding. Even more astounding, that's less than 10% of Epstein and Maxwell's victims.

Massie files Epstein discharge petition Live updates and analysis from POLITICO’s Congress team.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.

And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois.

I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights.
