One top of all this horrific ICE behavior towards residents, the helicopters hovering for hours over random Chicago neighborhoods like mine at odd times of day and night is extremely unsettling. It feels like an invasion and it's definitely disturbing the peace. I'm sure that's intentional.

Thanks for being open to my information. And thanks for all you do. I appreciate the ALT government agency accounts so much.

I've worked in the supplements industry for 35 years and toured manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and testing labs. I avoid brands I never heard of that primarily sell on Amazon, but most really work hard to produce quality products, and to meet regulatory requirements.

Purity & label accuracy are important. Companies actually are required to do identity testing, but FDA could be more specific ie: fit for purpose methods. Most supplements have a long traditional use history, and a very safe track record. Efficacy data for drugs is a different regulatory model.

Dietary Supplements Overview of dietary supplements and FDA's role in regulating them.

I have to correct your statement that the supplement industry is unregulated, because that is inaccurate. FDA does regulate supplements. Companies spend a zillion dollars on meeting the requirements. www.fda.gov/food/dietary...

Absolutely false - supplements are absolutely regulated by FDA. Brands spend million on compliance and on testing labs. Cherry picked facts don't support your misleading assertion. This is just more of CR's long history of anti-supplement bias.

The opening act is measles. Dying laughing.

Question: if the supposed president and his handlers were consciously trying to fatally weaken the US, would their actions be any different? I think not. I once thought it incompetence, now I think it’s intentional.

Mine too. Lawless thugs disrupting the peace at the direction of a lawless administration.

We would have to sweep both the house and senate in the midterms by huge margins first.

Sociopaths given free reign to inflict cruelty. And MAGA cheers them on. These people are not patriots.

That’s my Alderperson. There are a zillion helicopters flying over my Humboldt Park neighborhood disturbing the peace. And my taxes are paying for them. Assholes is too polite a description.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

Today Feds tear gassed people, including young children, on the street near my house and roughed up my Alderperson for defending constitutional rights. This is not the America I know and love. Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

You don’t even live in the district you’re running to represent. Or have you moved in the last few weeks?

I miss the days when politicians paid a price for lying. Chicago is a fantastic city and as someone who lives here I can attest that I t’s definitely not a war zone. The lawless thugs of ICE should go home.

This:

That series is fantastic. And prophetic.

It’s a beautiful day in Chicago at Riot Fest. I’m with people I love, there is punk rock in the air, and for today the world isn’t ending.

Extremely sour note. The Onion making fun of women trying to minimize very real danger was not on my bingo card.

I wish foxes would visit my garden! They live in the park near my home in Chicago but I’ve only seen one once.

I’m so sorry.

My Chicago neighborhood, Humboldt Park, is usually peaceful and relatively quiet, for a major city. This evening there are five helicopters hovering overhead. They are intrusive and unsettling for me, and I imagine they are terrifying for my Latino neighbors. This is all just so wrong.

Agreed - "That Thing You Do" is a fantastic pop song. Another song I would add is "The Flame Still Burns" from the film Still Crazy.

Nicely done. This Chicago resident has never felt unsafe, but I would feel better if the state of Indiana 20 minutes away had better gun laws. I do worry for my Latino neighbors in this authoritarian invasion.

Washington mayor did not say that at all. Stop lying. Chicago doesn’t want or need an illegal federal police force here.

It almost like they know nothing about Chicago! Oh right, they clearly don’t.

JFC - what an idiot.

A national security expert I trust once answered a question asking if the president could possibly be a Russian agent with “would he be doing anything different if he was? That’s the best clue.”

But how do we get them out of their information silos so they are operating with actual facts? I think that's our biggest problem.
