It was a huge moment and a victory, and you turned it into a defeat. Shameful.

I'm appalled that you gave in to the Republicans and let them take ACA subsidies off the table. I am a lifelong Democrat and will never forgive the party for caving in.

We know the Republicans are bad. But why did you allow the Dems to cave? Our health insurance costs are going to go up impossibly high, and we are holding all the Democrats responsible for giving in and letting this happen.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

These are the senators who are about to vote to destroy us by caving on the shutdown for nothing in return. You can call and leave a message since it's Sunday, and try again tomorrow when they're open at 9am.

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.

That anger, that weariness, that dismissal you call divisive and unproductive *comes from someplace.* In this case from 2023.

A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley Some are worried that the rapid rise in the value of AI tech companies may be a bubble waiting to burst.

"Sceptics are privately - and some now publicly - asking whether the rapid rise in the value of AI tech companies may be, at least in part, the result of what they call 'financial engineering'. In other words - there are fears these companies are overvalued."

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

An “immigration judge” is not an actual judge in the judicial branch. They are a DOJ employee.

Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America. Also: More court pushback.

NEW: Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era.

Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America.

Today, at Law Dork:

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Offensive conducted as UN inquiry concludes that Israel’s nearly two-year war on Gaza amounts to genocide.

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people.

Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want?

Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

Stop the Anti-Vaccine Takeover of the CDC ⭑ 5 Calls The Trump administration is continuing to undermine public health and scientific integrity by firing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) …

Here is a script. Please, please call. We cannot sit by and we cannot let our representatives sit by as our nation’s public health infrastructure is destroyed.

Federal agents arrest firefighters working on WA wildfire Federal agents showed up northeast of Lake Cushman to check identification of crew members fighting Washington's largest active wildfire.

“Federal law enforcement asked the crews to line up to check their IDs, according to the firefighters.

One of the firefighters said members of the crew were told not to take video of the incident.”

DHS did this as flames actively raged.

The Crime Suppression Teams will: 1. Identify and suppress criminal activity in high-crime areas through data and intelligence-led policing. 2. Conduct proactive enforcement operations designed to deter and disrupt organized crime. 3. Provide increased CHP visibility and presence in communities most impacted by crime. 4. Support local law enforcement by sharing intelligence, coordinating enforcement, and assisting with investigations. 5. Maintain strict accountability through structured leadership, clear reporting, and operational oversight.

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced he is sending CHP officers assigned to Crime Suppression Teams into San Diego, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Central Valley, Sacramento, and the San Francisco Bay Area. He will, among other things, use predictive policing to suppress “criminal activity.”

Senator, please do not allow an investigation to drag on forever. The walkout at the CDC shows how strongly public health professionals feel about the danger RFK poses. He is a threat to the nation's health and needs to be fired now.
