Immigrant advocates have been thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, and tailed in their cars by officers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them, @caitlindickerson.bsky.social reports. One tells her: “It's never been this bad.”

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul says the only "chaos" on Chicago's streets is coming from federal immigration agents carrying our aggressive enforcement.

A woman was shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday on Chicago’s South Side, marking the second shooting since President Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month.

Trump's Justice Department is firing the people who prosecute terrorists, Jake Tapper argues. The president's politically motivated personnel decisions make "the United States and the world less safe":

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

California vows to ‘instantly’ cut funding to universities that cave to Trump ‘compact’

This! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Sad about Jane Goodall. She had a way with words. “I spent so long in nature on my own, that I really only need to close my eyes, and I'm sort of back there. If I'm in the middle of the city, I could close my eyes I can imagine the rumbling rain was the rain pounding on the canvas," she told me.

Republicans have shut down the government to take healthcare away from millions of Americans and give Trump a blank check for his illegal power grab.

I'm asking YOU: What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family? What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care? Please comment below or submit a story here: tinyurl.com/3rbdfdmz

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Sorry to get political but I arrived in Portland this afternoon. Went out to see the “war zone” that the moron President thinks is here. The only war zone is in his head between the crazy & the stupid to see which controls his mouth. 😔🤬. #Photography 📸 #WestCoastKin #Urban #PNW #Oregon #PDX

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

All the new ICE officers better be forced to work without pay during the shutdown, just like the military, air traffic controllers, VA staff, and other essential federal workers. ICE goons don't deserve special treatment.

Rising costs are causing a lot of Americans to think twice before booking a trip. And many who do travel are scaling back their ambitions and staying closer to home.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Not sure that the military needs lectures from a makeup-wearing TV host and a senile draft-dodger

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

WATCH: Susan Collins just voted to raise health care prices on Mainers and shut down the government. Over 50,000 Mainers benefit from ACA tax credits, and she just voted against each and every one of them. #MESen

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

He thinks we're all stupid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hillary's Right Again ! Chump has lined His Pockets with $4-5 Billion In Income For Himself, While We All Get Zilch in Absolutely Everything 💯.........

See the difference? 👀

Dems show up; the GOP doesn't even care to. Trump and Republicans are to blame for the government shutdown. Period.

On hot button issues, a majority say children should be vaccinated; controlling gun violence is more important than gun rights; and Epstein files should be released, in a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

The so-called "Pro-life" party voted to take away food from children. Let that sink in...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Soooo… what if the governors call up their National Guards to protect their cities from the President?

Congress cut $1.1 billion in funding for PBS and NPR.

OMG, this is good! 🤣

I'm not surprised by the lengths they are willing to go to stop us from seeing the Epstein Files. Just look at how far they were willing to go to stop us from ever hearing from Jeffrey Epstein again.

- there's ~38000 ICE officers - at $80,000 a year, that's $3,040,000,000 for ICE salaries - divide the 59,792 in ICE detention by that salary - $50,842 dollars PER ARREST - detaining costs $160 per person per day ($58,400 per year) WE COULD JUST GIVE THEM CITIZENSHIP. racism is expensive.
