TACO is NOT building a ballroom.

He is building a bunker.

Booze Allen is not an architecture firm.

It’s a defense contractor.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation and productivity growth, it would be $21 an hour today. A minimum wage of $20 an hour would remove roughly 9 million workers from food stamps. These are facts.

This is for your maga moron "by their bootstraps" uncle in Pennsylvania.

California, we have the power to stop election rigging, right now!

Did you get your ballot in? I did and so did my entire family. Remind everyone you know. 👊🏽

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Pritzker makes a direct appeal to Greg Bovino to not terrorize kids over the Halloween weekend

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

"Something that struck me about Broadview was the assault on this community. I saw folks just trying to get to work or deliver a package... I chose to be there, but people who live and work there are under attack by ICE all the time. They didn't ask for this. We didn't ask for this."

Sounds like the White House

Missing the days when, if a scary masked man approached us on the street, WE pepper sprayed HIM, not the other way around.

The day clownish Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton files a ridiculous, performative lawsuit against Tylenol seems a good day to re-post this:

BREAKING: A Department of Homeland Security officer shot at an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in DC, and the DC police officer said he was told by superiors not to mention the shooting in his incident report. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Israel continues to imprison 300 Palestinian children despite the ceasefire agreement, according to Defense for Children International-Palestine.

So Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout from our tax dollars but devastated small towns here at home — nothing.

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸
