Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

This!
So true!

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

I said what I said.

There have been times when that has happened in our history, mainly to Indigenous and African American people, but for this to be happening now, again, shows that the general population has learned nothing from our dark, brutal past. Not only that but our government hasn't either.

BREAKING: An FBI agent has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

HERO.

History repeats.

When Charles Schulz's distributor pressured him to eliminate Franklin from "Peanuts" because he might offend pro-segregation Southerners he told him: "Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How's that?" INCLUSIVENESS IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT Peanuts cartoon is of Franklin (on the left) and Pigpen (on the right) shaking hands.

Fun facts:
Charles Shultz was my ice skating coach when I was a kid 🥰 He was truly one of the kindest souls. And yes, I had a Dorothy Hamill haircut.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

I should be working right now.

Jane Goodall, renowned chimpanzee researcher and animal advocate, dies at 91 "Dr. Goodall's discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world," the Jane Goodall Institute said in a Wedne...

Jane Goodall made the world a better place.

She helped shape how we view the world around us, fought vehemently for the environment, and her love of chimpanzees was infectious. She will be greatly missed.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

BINGO!

15 MILLION people will lose health insurance because of Republicans.

Families, seniors & kids sick and dying.

This isn’t politics, it’s life and death.

Missouri governor signs Trump-backed plan aimed at helping Republicans win another US House seat Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe has signed a new congressional map into law that gives Republicans an improved shot at winning an additional U.S. House seat.

If Trump actually believed he was popular as he always says he is, he would not be trying to rig next year's election. But he and Republicans know that waging war against the American people is not popular and are trying to avoid democratic accountability. apnews.com/article/redi...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

We had been warned-we chose not to believe or listen to those who have spent their life studying the past to educate our future leaders and young. Einstein’s classic example is current. We are facing the consequences and have a duty to defend our democracy.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The Political Scene | The New Yorker The Washington Roundtable is joined by the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Keren Yarhi-Milo, the dean of the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, to discuss...

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.
