Thus far, ICE and CBP in the Chicago region killed an immigrant

Shot a woman 5 times-after allegedly taunting her, saying “Do something, b****”

And shot a priest-who wasn’t remotely a threat-in the head

So when does Governor Pritzker deploy the National Guard to protect citizens from these thugs

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

This from @jessicatarlov.bsky.social may be the most efficient use of 76 seconds of Fox News airtime I've ever seen.

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

A picture of the Guard arriving in Illinois from WSJ. The headline reads: "Local Politicians Defiant as National Guard Gathers Outside Chicago"

When I become America's benevolent dictator, I'm going to impose a tax on every [mis]use of the word "defiant" in news articles and give the money to independent journalism outlets.

Cook Political poll find Prop 50 up 50% to 34% among registered voters in California: www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/hou...

Laura N. Rodríguez Presa on Twitter: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.”

While Trump escalates his attacks on our freedoms with occupations of our cities and secret police forces terrorizing our communities, normal everyday people across the nation are showing up every single day with courage and defiance.

Why does Trump think he's going to get away with jacking up health premiums on families by 75% in order to fund a giant tax cut for his billionaire pals?

Because he thinks his campaign to repress free speech will keep us quiet.

But he's wrong. We are fighting back.

Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

This is fascism. At your door. At every door.

Trump’s America.

Bob Ross paintings to be auctioned to support public TV stations after federal funding cuts All profits will help public TV stations with licensing fees for popular programs that include "The Best of Joy of Painting" and "America's Test Kitchen."

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

I know we're all used to the president talking like Livia Soprano all the time, but this is a goddamn outrage

Pentagon chief Hegseth more interested in pushups than talking with Illinois leaders, Pritzker says The governor said the Trump administration is keeping him in the dark about immigration enforcement and National Guard deployments.

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.

Trump's off-script comments cause shutdown headaches for GOP President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are straining to project a united front against Democrats.

One point I made about the shutdown is that a lot of what Schumer and Jeffries are doing is not for YOU, but for annoying beltway journalists who see this as a competition but whose reporting actually matters to their colleagues.

Voila: "Republicans in disarray"

I think the better question would have been:

"Pamela Jo, as a fellow taker of bribes, in your case from Donald Trump to shut down your Florida AG investigation of Trump University's consumer fraud, did you approve the shutting down of the bribery investigation into Homan?"

i miss living in a country that wasnt murdering itself so openly

The "antifa army" that Noem stared down 😂😂😂

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

My Very Dear Ones,

I write to you from near the front lines of war ravaged Portland.

Tell Congress: Fully investigate the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case Contact Congress today!

EVERYONE needs to do this. It only takes a minute: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I'm not a conservative commentator. No Billionaire is offering me $150 million. No TV network will make me its editor in chief.

I am just a lawyer who fights hard for democracy. I built Democracy Docket to keep you informed. For $10 a month, you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

The government shutdown disrupted flights at Hollywood Burbank Airport. Could it get worse? Hollywood Burbank Airport's air traffic control tower was temporarily unstaffed Monday and flights were delayed or canceled due to staffing shortages amid the government shutdown.

Hours with no air traffic controllers.

Staffing shortages.

Flight delays.

Health care costs going through the roof.

Every hour that Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate, the American people get hurt.

Did Air Traffic Controllers just start the general strike?!?? 🤝

“…Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed that many air traffic control workers were calling out sick.”

Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

Justice Dept has 10 days left to respond to civil lawsuit filed by Jan 6 police responders who are seeking court order to require display of Jan 6 law enforcement honorary plaque at US Capitol

Plaque was required to be hung by 2023 under federal law

It hasn’t been hung

I've been banging this drum for the past four months or so: DOGE and Russ Vought broke the appropriations process. What's the point of going through the arduous process of crafting 12 spending bills, clearing them through committee and getting them through two chambers if Trump does rescissions?

glad to be born at a time when i got to see what life was like before the internet and will be dead before AI completely destroys humanity
