WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Makes me wanna move back to that great city just so I can talk with Glory and her Mamdani buds at Joe's.

NO!

Everyone knew him as a con, a mobster, a classless wannabe...he was/is an embarrassment.

I can't remember a Democratic politician in my lifetime moving people quite like *this*

HOW CAN WE AFFORD TO INVADE VENEZUELA IF THERE'S NO MONEY FOR SNAP???

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Markey on SNAP: "This moment isn't just an economic failure. This isn't just a civic failure. This is an utter moral failure for the Trump administration and MAGA Republicans."

Jeffries: "There's additional funds that are available to be reallocated so that not a single person in this country goes hungry. And if that happens beginning on November 1, it's because Donald Trump and Republicans want the American people to go hungry."
