FBI fires special agents who worked on Jack Smith's probe into Trump www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

They also left out the part about the billionaires that use our govt to help them become trillionaires.

“You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass..” MO voter rips into Republican Congressman at town hall. The same town hall’s this regime wants them to stop going to. I wonder why?🤨

Gold has surged to a record high of $4000 an ounce over fears about Trump’s tariffs and the US government shutdown.

The cruelty campaign continues! Americans can expect no support from our government in these difficult times. So what is our government spending money on? Oh yeah - a golden ballroom, ICE, many golf trips for our supreme 🍊💩

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you. And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it. This is not about politics. It's about people. Let’s break it down:

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

For those interested, you can spend the next 2.5 minutes getting to know Gen. Bryan Fenton, ret. I think you'll be able to determine from this video why he retired.

Taking control of cities is about taking control of the elections. Truth 💣 from @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Trump is sending the National Guard to Chicago, but Chicagoans are already facing raids and intimidation from ICE agents. This weekend, I joined over 700 of our neighbors at a community workshop led by the 40th Ward. (1/2)

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

🚨 ICE said Marimar Martinez “rammed their vehicles.” Bodycam footage says otherwise. It shows an ICE agent ram his own vehicle into hers, sneer “Do something, bitch,” and then shoot her. We can never believe anything ICE accuses anyone of.

Trump is running a hustle with our healthcare, and the American people are his mark. “We are speaking with the Democrats, and some very good things could happen with respect to healthcare.” –Trump What Democrats is he talking to? Hakeem Jeffries says Trump and Republicans have gone “radio silent.”

A federal police officer walked up to a 19-year-old protester and blasted chemical spray directly in her face. WTAF?

BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker threatens to withdraw from the National Governors Association if the organization doesn't speak out against Trump's use of the National Guard in U.S. cities. Watch Gov. Pritzker discuss with Rachel Maddow:

We just defeated the forces of mining assholery in MI, for the third time. Copperwood Mine. Slotkin and Gretch actually *endorsed* the mine, storing millions of tons of toxic waste on the shores of Lake Superior, in the middle of the Porkies State Forest. citizensforsuperior.org/copperwood-g...

Liar. Republicans have only ever been trying to take away people’s ability to access healthcare the entire time that I have been practicing medicine.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

NPR's Steve Inskeep speaks with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear about his cross-party appeal in a state that has always overwhelmingly voted for Trump.

JD Vance is blaming Democrats for Trump’s government shutdown. That’s BS. What he didn’t tell you? Senate Republicans voted against our bill to reopen the government and prevent a health care crisis FOUR TIMES. The truth: They’d rather keep it shut than lower health care costs.

An ICE agent shot and killed a man in his car who had just dropped off his 3-year-old son at day care in Chicago. The agency said the man had resisted arrest and dragged an agent with his car. Video obtained by The Washington Post shows the man driving away from the officers

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term. They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

‼️‼️

🧵Big picture: Slumlords, Wall St players (BlackRock, KKR, Kushner) are working with Trump’s DHS to weaponize ICE raids—faking gang scares to destroy apt buildings and push out tenants all so Trump insiders can flip bldgs for millions. #Corrupt #ICEraids #Chicago #Aurora fortune.com/2025/07/15/i...

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud: “We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

BREAKING: Federal judge BLOCKS a new ICE policy that went into effect last week to automatically detain unaccompanied migrant children on their 18th birthday when they “age out” of shelter care. The TRO enforces a court order in a case brought by @immcouncil.org and @immigrantjustice.bsky.social.

The wheels of justice grind slowly yet finely. Now that Abrego Garcia has been granted the right to pursue discovery the Trump Regime is going to run for the hills yelping like a scalded dog. Unless of course the 5 Trump suckers on the Supreme Court decide yet again to act as Trump's attorneys.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage. It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.

General Mattis dropped this Statement today. Read through to completion below as it is long. And please Share.

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

Oh, perfect—Project 2025’s idea of “unity” is just robbing blue states blind. Nothing says serving all Americans like selectively looting taxpayers based on whether they voted for you. It’s less a budget plan than a mob shakedown: “Nice state you got there… shame if the feds stopped funding it.”

When you control the House, the Senate, the White House, *and* the Supreme Court, you don’t get to blame the minority party for your failures. That’s not how this works. At all.

This is chilling: “The goal is to unravel enough of the federal government now. That it will make it impossible for Democrats to rebuild it even when they do get back to the White House.” 2/4

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. This government shutdown is on them.

This also follows the Trump administration implementing a no fly zone for drones in Chicago to prevent people from documenting what ICE is doing. They're masked thugs acting as secret police trying to ensure they have no accountability. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power. But health care is a human right. And in America, we have no kings.
