“…approximately 48 hours after U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis ordered federal agents to stop using “riot control weapons,” including “chemical irritants” to disperse crowds if they could injure anyone “who is not causing an immediate threat of physical harm to another person.”” #Chicago #ddrm

This article overlooks how the grid works, and why electricity prices will keep going up. The grid price is usually set by the last unit called up, and they’re called up by cost. Solar and wind almost never set the grid price because they are low-cost to run. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/c...

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is. They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.” Awaiting law enforcement.

If @govpritzker.illinois.gov & @governor.ca.gov leave the National Gov Association for being silent as the Trump admin unleashes on Chicago, Portland @tinakotek.bsky.social @governorferguson.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov @governor.ny.gov and other Dem gov should also do the same in solidarity.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

Well, this aged well. Unfortunately. (Except for the part where @jimmykimmel.com said he thought I was higher up on Donald Trump's enemies list than he was.)

US Magistrate Judge Vaala trying to untangle Lindsey Halligan's first adventure in indicting someone:

If republicans think it’s crucial to keep the government open, they can keep it open without a single democrat. They can change the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate. It’s all up to them.

you live in a place with an ABC network affiliate owed by Nextstar or Sinclair, the Republican megaconglomerates that put the regime up to this decision, watch it for a few hours and write down the advertisers. (In Chicago, that means ABC-7, WGN.) 2/x

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails. Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits. Thank you!

“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

We have the near-final margin in Virginia's special election: Democrat James Walkinshaw has won by roughly 50%. This is a district that Harris carried over Trump by 34% last year, and Gerald Connolly won it by the same margin then.

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS

Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.

Take a look at this picture and ask is the problem: 1. The drivers? 2. The cyclist? The secret answer is… 3.

The four IA specials this year have been in eastern Iowa and western Iowa; rural Iowa and urban Iowa; Dem districts and Republican districts. And they've all seen very similar overperformances: 22, 24, 25 & 26 points. This is not good news for the GOP's hopes of holding #IAGov & #IASen.

One of the most important and urgent pieces I have written! contrarian.substack.com/p/our-guardr...

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
