How it's going in Chicago
After ICE arrested US citizen and WGN Producer Debbie Brockman
Agents driving the white van cut off and hit another car, swarmed the vehicle at gunpoint, dragged out the driver-who is ALSO a citizen-and arrested her, too
Straight up fascism

I can’t believe they showed them anywhere to begin with. It’s just so pathetic.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*
They don't give their opinion to the media
They don't criticize how SCOTUS works
This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

The function of the EPA is to prepare the way for the coming Christian Nationalist theocracy.

And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

Michael Tomasky: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends.

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

Remarkable to me that when it comes to the NYC mayor race, if you turn to NYT, you get gushing rancid hysteria, but if you turn to the New Yorker, you get interesting insights and analysis. The practice of political journalism at NYT has fallen into the sewer.

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News. A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.
Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.
POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.
Always

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
11.10.2025 03:05 — 👍 13801 🔁 6141 💬 518 📌 396Members of Congress should be on the streets of DC—where many of them live! —putting their bodies between these law-abiding citizens and ICE. Congress should be demanding names, and promising ICE will be prosecuted when US democracy is re-established.
But they are not—b/c they think it polls badly.
Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.
Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”
“That sounds terrible.”
“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”
Why isn’t every Democrat holding a press conference with this video, talking about the criminal army of thugs invading Chicago and the rest of the country, and the need to bring these criminals to justice? React as you would if this really was MS13 or something

Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

It's clearer by the day that Columbia making a deal with Trump in July was a catastrophe for higher education as a whole. It gave terrible people a bottomless appetite for extortion. The other eight universities must follow MIT's lead.

Luttig has it right here: “[T]he Supreme Court has given them no choice but to speak out.”

Mainstream media and other important validating institutions are ignoring it because they’re convinced that’s the savvy play.

It’s darkly funny to imagine how Dems would react if the largest protests in history were regularly being held AGAINST them - they’d have surrendered to King Trump years ago - but when it’s in their favor they just ignore it
11.10.2025 16:22 — 👍 213 🔁 29 💬 6 📌 0While this is going on here, ICE has been spotted on foot + in vehicles across SW + NW sides of Chicago. Can't verify reports rn, but also presuming suburbs. Yesterday was brutal. It's not lost on us they have more agents free for weekend kidnappings now with their facility secured by state police.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.
Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
