I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit โ€” all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesnโ€™t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

Fox legal analyst responds to Trumpโ€™s unhinged and psychotic posts calling for Democratic senators and representatives to be executed for posting a video urging service members to obey their oath to the Constitution and follow the law in the UCMJ.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

DOJ will refuse to release the Epstein files based on their sham "ongoing investigation." Bookmark it.

Most Americans have no idea this is happening. GOP lawmakers are using a legal weapon called state preemption to override will of millions living in big cities that vote for progress & fairness. This is a nationwide power grab hiding in plain sight.

Texas exposed strategy with HB 2127, known as Death Star Law. One bill wiped out hundreds of local protections overnight. Worker heat safety rules.Tenant protections. Environmental safeguards. All erased at once. This was not government reform. This was a full scale demolition of local democracy.

This is a blatant lie. The U.S. intelligence community concluded that MBS โ€œapproved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.โ€

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - heโ€™s saying some Epstein files canโ€™t be released because theyโ€™re intelligence products and would harm national security.

This seems to be the most popular version of what's going to happen regarding the release of the files after the House votes.

MAGA Republicans will do whatever it takes to protect their twisted orange overlord.

Americans deserve to know whoโ€™s in the TRUMP-EPSTEIN files, but will we find out?

Itโ€™s pretty simple.

When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards โ€” and folded for no reason.

He doesnโ€™t actually need a court order to do the right thing. He just refuses to do the right thing. Ever.

I Want You to Understand Chicago
Politics Chicago
2025-11-08

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleaguesโ€™ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. โ€œWe could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,โ€ Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st.

Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Shoโ€ฆ

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Itโ€™s not about what this country can or canโ€™t afford.

Itโ€™s about priorities.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Imagine someone setting your house on fire just so they can rescue your dog from a burning building.

Thatโ€™s exactly what this administration is doing to our country.

If Republicans restore SNAP funding, just remember they set the fire.
