Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July?

Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

A clarification

Prosecutors Can Indict a Ham Sandwich, But Can They Convict? What happens when you indict a ham sandwich?

The grand jury refused to indict felony charges so DOJ brought a misdemeanor. The trial jury acquitted—note: that means that every single person on the jury voted for acquittal. There wasn’t even a single vote to convict. joycevance.substack.com/p/prosecutor...

'Blunt Corruption': Trump DOJ Hands Google an Antitrust Win After Tech Giant's Ballroom Donation | Common Dreams Alphabet, Google's parent company, is contributing $22 million to the president's ballroom project.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

A milestone: the court order in Chicago today potentially checks America's slide to a secret police state. For the first time, ICE and CBP agents are ordered to wear clear identification: badge numbers or names. Either they comply or this becomes THE issue in which the battle for democracy.

This is what a New Era looks like.

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

‼️‼️

Yeah, because they’re fucking starving.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

CHICAGO — U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino admitted to lying about whether a rock hit him before he used tear gas on Chicagoans in Little Village last month.

"The first nine months of this Congress and this administration, arguably the most productive of all time."
- Speaker Mike Johnson.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Mobility aids are not restrictive.

Inaccessibility is restrictive.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Border Patrol is terrorizing the suburbs today, as they are basically every day now. Activity across Aurora, St. Charles, Mount Prospect. According to rapid response, feds also detained workers at Apex Logistics in Bensenville/Elk Grove Village, but left without anyone in custody.

Abolish ICE
Ban AIPAC
Stop funding Genocide
Medicare for all
Reform the SCOTUS

Forgive student and medical debt
