Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

This is not a fight about tax credits.

This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

$20B bailout to Argentina to help a friend of the secretary of the treasury while Argentina’s soybeans go to China instead of US beans. Rural healthcare is gutted. Bottom line-rural America is screwed; again. But, MAGA.

Congress needs to put an end to this.

Trump is threatening your job, your healthcare and your child’s education to keep himself in power. That’s not America first. That’s Trump first and he owns this shutdown.

KIMMEL, on the Pentagon’s new reporting “pledge”:

“.. They want to pick what the ‘news’ is. I know it’s not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, .. but it’s nuts that we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

It’s rare that one clip can both be grounds for a massive corporate lawsuit and grounds for the 25th Amendment at the same time.

As Americans struggle to make ends meet…

We can't come out and say American vulture capitalism is what is killing American democracy and tearing our society apart. Because attacking capitalism seems like sacrilege. But it's not. There are many fairer forms of capitalism than are practiced here. We need a reboot. Mamdani gets it.

Who will grow food for them? Who will make the clothes they will need? Seems very shortsighted

And even more naive to think said intelligence agencies wouldn't leverage him to their advantage.

The raid stalled a battery plant that would have employed Georgians in good-paying jobs. She screwed her own voters.

Most of the S Korean workers weren’t “taking jobs.” They were specialists brought in to get the plant operational. Their expertise was the bridge to thousands of American jobs.

Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump.

All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.

They didn’t exactly cut our funding…it’s worse than that. They prevented us from spending a billion dollars of our own locally collected tax money.

In 20 years, the GOP has gone from invading foreign countries pretending to spread democracy to invading America to make sure democracy stops happening here. So at least they're more honest now.

American Convicted of Murder Is Freed by Trump From Venezuela Prison

Pretty sure if Biden had flown a man convicted of three murderers from Venezuela to the U.S. and set him loose in an American city, it would have dominated the headlines for weeks.

"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."

Breyer interjects: Let's take an example. Say the risk assessment is low. But you said in some examples even if risk assessment low, you're told to assist federal law enforcement. Who tells you that? Who says I'm advising you nonetheless to employ troops?

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has gone from horrible to hell on earth. Over 60K people have been killed, mostly women & children.

The Netanyahu government must allow the UN-led aid distribution system to resume. Children are starving, and we are on the brink of a full-blown famine:

Crockett: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit—we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away with this. He’s been able to get away with it because Republicans are complicit and—most importantly—the Supreme Court is complicit.

This is what is happening right now.

MUST WATCH: A Texas voter just burned Trump and the GOP to ash.

Trump cheated on golf, his taxes, his wives, and the Constitution — Now he’s pimping out the Republican Party like a brothel.

And every last coward in that room is lining up to get fucked — Not sexually. Philosophically.

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps.

Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

So awful. They don’t hide anything anymore.

It should never be controversial to speak up about mass starvation. Having regular access to safe and nutritious food is a human right.

I just witnessed a man dragged onto this bus after a judge did not let him explain how deportation could be a death sentence for him.
And it's happening here.

What I saw today in San Antonio immigration courts was horrifying. Everyone's right to due process is under attack.

Congressman Greg Casar

This guy is one of the idiots who needs to be controlled. The vast majority of Americans want common sense gun control.
