NEW: Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced President Trump intends to federalize 300 state National Guard troops “in the coming hours" over objections from state and city leaders.

We resolutely condemn this potential escalation. It's a power grab meant to intimidate and torment Chicago's communities.

ICE contractor locked an immigrant and her baby at an O’Hare hotel for five days Valentina Galvis' detention at a hotel raises questions about the types of facilities being turned into de facto detention centers as the Trump administration ramps up immigration detention.

While a hotel may seem preferable to other types of detention centers, advocates said Valentina Galvis’ detention at a Sonesta hotel near Chicago O’Hare Airport raises concerns about what types of facilities are quietly being turned into de facto detention centers across the U.S.

They always fucking smirk.

When Ozzy met Paul...you couldn't find a bigger Beatles fan than Ozzy. Rest in Peace, "darling".

Please, this isn’t about saving money.

Republicans just exploded the debt by at least 4 trillion dollars!!!

To fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Defunding Big Bird and Elmo isn’t going to fix that mess.

Neither is defunding programs to help starving children.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

This legal insanity continues in MInocqua, Wisconsin.

Senate Judiciary Republicans are holding a sham hearing now. If you want to talk about a President’s state of mind, consider this mess.

We’re focused on the critical challenges facing our nation.

Back to business.

We are so proud of you, Senator!

That's what Walter said to Skyler in his last call to her.

Either clueless or a wicked sense of humor.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

We need action, Senator. Shame your Republican colleagues (if they have any shame) into speaking and standing against this heinous behavior. You all have the power to check this administration. Use it.

Louder, Senator! Louder, please.

Of course, Brian didn't write this one, but it's his genius arrangement. Beatles fans, look for our pal, Derek Taylor, who was doing press for The Beach Boys.
