This is a thread detailing a series of incidents where federal Judge Ellis rules that Gregory Bovino and his agents lied or misrepresented what was happening on the streets of Chicago. In this one, she says body cam footage suggests they brake checked to cause accidents

Feds used chemical agents dozens of times in Chicago • The TRiiBE An investigation by reporters from six newsrooms found that agents used chemical irritants nearly 50 times during Operation Midway Blitz.

NEW — An investigation by a group of Chicago-area newsrooms and independent journalists found that federal agents used chemical weapons on protesters at least 49 times across 18 incidents across Chicago and the suburbs since October 1.

1/ Do the caving Democrats need to see a few more children being ripped from the arms of their parents? Do they need a few more specific examples of ACA premiums forcing people to drop insurance in order to eat? Do they need some additional polling showing how unpopular Trump is?

“If they are using tear gas, they better be able to back it up,” U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Oct. 28. “And if they can’t, then they will lose that as something they can use.”

On Halloween, ‘state-sponsored terror’ in Chicago and the north suburbs Despite pleas from Gov. JB Pritzker to pause federal immigration enforcement operations while children celebrate Halloween, Border Patrol agents tore through Chicago and the suburbs.

If you aren't paying attention to what is happening in Illinois/Chicago, you're missing out on Bovino and federal agents using tear gas, pepper balls, and force against the people.

The Washington Post and NYT should have Chicago on the front page every single day. Stories, columns and photos. Every day.

Every day it amazes me that reporters who have been lied to for a decade hear something new from the liar and pretend to their audience that he might be telling the truth this time.

Front page of NYT on September 22, 2025, with large top-of-page photo of a Charlie Kirk memorial service, and the lead page-one story on the same topic.

Front page of today's NYT, Oct 19, with no story about the nationwide protests, and a "below the fold" montage of two photos, and a link to a story on page 23.

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Then you can find today's story on p A23

@LAURA_N_ROD, why don’t you report on the facts? 13 ILLEGAL ALIENS with criminal histories including DUI, BATTERY CAUSING BODILY HARM, AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE were arrested in a targeted immigration enforcement operation. You should be thanking the brave men and women of federal law enforcement for removing public safety threats from the crime-ridden streets of Chicago. Under President Trump and @Sec_Noem , if you break the law, you will face the consequences. Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.

Here’s Homeland Security targeting a Chicago Tribune journalist because she reported the facts. (Homeland Security has routinely lied about its operations in Chicago and is not credible.)

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people.

They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks.

Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.

Imagine shooting at a priest and thinking you’re the good guy

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

We've recieved more photos from the inside of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided over Monday night.

Doors bashed in, window panes missing, furniture smashed, water on the floor.

It's unclear what damage was pre-existing and what was inflicted in the raid.

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

“He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.”

JUST NOW — Our reporters are at the Broadview ICE facility (outside of Chicago) where protestors have been demonstrating since 5:00 a.m.

As a cargo van left the facility, a federal agent on the roof started shooting what seems to be pepper balls at protestors just before 9:00 a.m.

So Trump is making an online portal where ppl with vigilante & vigilante-adjacent expertise sign up & get deputized as regime-approved brownshirts. Instead of venting on 4chan or Stormfront they can now sign up & be brutalizing regime enemies w/promise of legal immunity. Am I missing something?

🧵🧵🧵
Trump often lies about Chicago, using a great American city as a punching bag to entertain out-of-town racists who are scared of Black and Latino Chicagoans whom they’ve never met. He’s threatening a military occupation. Here’s a thread about Chicago, Trump and crime. 1/

In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.

This is a journalism story. I don't mean how to cover the story, but things deeper than that. It's an attack on the conditions required for journalism to matter, on reality itself, and on the very idea that we can live in the world the way it is.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
