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."

Idaho Banned Vaccine Mandates. Activists Want to Make It a Model for the Country. The Idaho Medical Freedom Act makes it illegal to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive “medical intervention.” Leslie Manookian, the activist behind the law, hopes to make it a “societal norm” ...

South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days.

That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

Seeming less and less likely that I'm ever going to Florida again...

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody.

He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back

She’s not allowed to visit him.

They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

#SNAP makes Page One in Austin, Cincinnati, Houston, Milwaukee

Good Fortune is a pretty great movie, hilarious and poignant. It's worth your time.

NEW: New DOJ attorneys presided over the sentencing of Taylor Taranto today, after his previous prosecutors were sidelined for mentioning his role in the Jan. 6 attack a day earlier.

Judge Nichols praised the absent prosecutors.

“If you assault or obstruct law enforcement, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law--regardless of who you are. Abughazaleh assaulted law enforcement and obstructed officers by directly blocking the pathway of a federal law enforcement officer vehicle outside our ICE Broadview facility. She is now facing the consequences of her stunt to earn 15 minutes of fame. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

On or about September 26, 2025, at Broadview, in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, KATHERINE MARIE ABUGHAZALEH, defendant herein, forcibly impeded, intimidated, and interfered with an officer of the United States, namely, Agent A, while engaged in or on account of the performance of his official duties; In violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 111(a)(1) and 2.

Here is DHS making false allegations about @katmabu.bsky.social.

Read the affidavit and show me where it alleges that she assaulted anyone.

Spoiler: it doesn't.

The conspiracy charge / title of the statute is throwing people off / leading to a lot of bad faith attacks.

How an ICE shakeup will bring Chicago-level terror to Philly | Will Bunch The brutal arrest tactics and stepped-up immigration raids that have roiled Chicago are coming to Philly after an ICE shakeup.

A big shakeup at ICE isn't reshuffling the deck chairs on the U-Boat. More "Kavanaugh Stops," more violent arrests, and more tear gas chaos is coming very soon to Philly and a slew of other big cities

The terror we see in Chicago is going national. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Thanks Trump!

Maybe the Republicans, who control the White House and both branches of Congress should do something about that...

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity.

It’s not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.

Rank the vote!

Trump and Republicans want Americans to starve...

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

Reminder that Trump and Republicans and DHS are lying to you...

Have fun!

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen What Trump and Republicans are doing is sadistic

What Trump and Republicans are doing — using the shutdown to withhold emergency SNAP funds that could feed millions — is sadistic. Literally reveling in their own cruelty.

They’ll cut taxes for billionaires but let children go hungry. A national scandal.

Trump DOJ Indicts Congressional Candidate for Protesting ICE She and five other protesters face up to eight years in prison if convicted.

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

Seriously this is just nuts and dumb and infuriating. What the hell. #FreeDC

Shock Video Shows ICE Agent Assaulting Woman Who Asked If He’s A Good Christian Hundreds protested Tuesday at an ICE facility in southwest Colorado after agents detained two children on their way to school.

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.

You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has now been waiting 36 days to be sworn in to office — setting a new record that any member of Congress has had to wait following a special election.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

On my lunch break today, I saw them abduct a man and lie to my face about not filming because they were the police. At the corner of Kimball and Lawrence in Chicago. I asked him “what department” and he responded “Chicago” through a tiny cracked window. Would that be a crime to lie about “police?”

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
