ICE / DHS shot a woman in Chicago because she has been working to identify the secret police behind the masks. According to the @chicago.suntimes.com story it sounds like federal agents used live rounds as the victim needed to be brought to the hospital. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Mike Johnson swore in newly elected Republicans earlier this year when the House wasn’t fully in session. But now he’s refusing to do the same for Democratic representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
