Have You Taken Freedom for Granted? A Saturday Prompt

Still true: “This nation has placed its destiny in the…hands, heads & hearts of millions of free men & women,” FDR said in 1941. “Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them.”

ICE’s undercover officers in plainclothes abducted Sindi Moreno while she was leaving to drop her daughter off at elementary school in Houston. The agent in civilian clothing assaulted and attempted to kidnap Sindi as she and her child desperately fought him off.

Remember when Texas Dems broke quorum & in response TX AG Paxton & Gov Abbot demanded their arrest & removal from office?

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of last 100 days, absent since Sept 19, & he still won't swear in Rep-elect Grijalva.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

As a Christian, I think it's weird and inappropriate to publicly hope your spouse converts to Christianity. That's a private conversation for home. It also brings attention to the fact that your spouse's most immediate example of Christianity is you and it doesn't take. Yikes.

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children."

REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old."

FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered.

This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

People had a shit fit about political violence after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

Political violence is starving children to run interference for a child rapist who is the President of the United States of America.

We should have punished the Confederates.

I’m the first congressional candidate to be indicted under the second Trump administration.

But if things keep going the way they are, I won’t be the last.

That’s why I need to fight these charges with everything we’ve got. Help us do that here: katforillinois.com/legal

Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.” The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.” The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Recall when we had a president who was a decent human being? Seems so remote and novel now.

Anyone still aligned with the GOP is undeniably tied to valuing raping and starving children.

There are ZERO exceptions to this. The exception ship sailed years ago.

Stop letting them pretend there’s some other faction of the party.

There is not.

Every mother who is getting food & nutrition assistance, SNAP, & who is also breastfeeding, will not be able to give her child the necessary nourishment for that child to be healthy. She will also lack the healthcare required to address the problems that this will cause.

The ripple effect is real.

It's been 37 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

I am begging certain “journalists” to remember that interpersonal niceness from someone who would prefer you and everyone like you be dead is what we call “lies” and falling for it makes you both a mark and a chump.

Big ‘ol chump.

Jegus, some folks never learn.

Dear New York, at the very least, please give wonderful Democratic Socialist Mamdani a massive landslide victory so that he has a mandate.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

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."

Every day, the criminal gangster in the WH shatters norms and practices and ignores the Constitution and laws, while Republicans in Congress join him as co-conspirators. Did any Republican senators speak up about this? Hell no. Cowards all. Vote every one out that you can.

If Stephen Miller had paid attention in con law, he’d know:
Congress controls the money.
Courts interpret the law.
The president doesn’t get to shout “You’re fired!” at the entire civil service when he loses a budget fight.

My law firm is now litigation 11 redistricting cases in 9 states. Yes in 2025, 11 cases in 9 states. It is a lot and I expect more on the way.

Dems dont understand the fight we are in.
