IL Governor, JB Pritzker is giving off major “I protect the family vibes” today.

Time for America to get serious & plan general strikes, boycotts, & millions on top of millions of people PEACEFULLY in the streets to confront The Dictator’s madness. Got to step it up.

Banana republic shit. If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast. But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

My statement on Middle East peace

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Why is this even possible in a free, lawful, democratic society? This kind of thuggery is something we used to revile as only possible in hellish “third world” dictatorships. This cannot be tolerated as the face of civilization.

When MTG is the voice of reason in the GOP, something has gone very very wrong

A data hoarder on Reddit used AI to create a searchable database of more than 8,100 files about Jeffrey Epstein released by the House Oversight Committee, making it one of the easiest ways to search through a very messy batch of files. 🔗 www.404media.co/data-hoarder...

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Exactly.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

If you ever find yourself zip tying a child's hands I wanna be really clear with you on what this says about you. You're not one of the "good guys." You're the problem. Your soul is rotten. Your intentions are evil. And whoever is above you telling you to do this is the pure embodiment of evil.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

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

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

He said the answer to the “liberty” promised in the Constitution grants the right of same-sex marriage is “unmistakable” regardless of how one thinks about it in relation to “morality or public policy.” He said he does not believe Obergefell should be overturned www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/10/just...

Can someone explain this to me like I’m 5 years old. how this makes sense! While the Christian right insists on bibles and prayers be in every classroom - While applauding children being dragged out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied and thrown into a dark van for hours upon hours

The maga terrorists attacked another Justice. Judge Diane Goodstein’s home was burnt to the ground after ruling against T***p. The violence, hatred, and divisiveness must end. It's going to take voices from the gop to end. Is there no courage to speak out against the violence and real lawlessness?

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

Interesting read…let’s do this!!

My 10 cents is that other blue states (and maybe even some red states) need to start supporting Illinois, California, and Oregon in their legal arguments BEFORE the spotlight turns to them.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

BREAKING Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91. It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post. She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated. Full Story: bit.ly/4pPcNFH

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of four New Hampshire voters, my law firm has filed a motion to intervene in the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking the state’s full, unredacted voter registration list. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

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

A friendly reminder: US billionaires have gained $968 billion in wealth so far this year—that’s 30X the annual cost of ACA subsidies Congress is fighting over in the shutdown talks. That $968B is enough to send every single US household a $7,300 check.

This is very, very bad.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for refusing to comply with our FOIA request for information about the agency's plans for expanding immigration detention in the D.C. region. We have a right to know how our taxpayer dollars are being used to fund ICE's abusive detention machine.
