Too late for the L.A. Rams to heed this warning…

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

It would be a shame if people shared this #FckICE

FREY: “.. the administration is sending a message to the entire country: If you show up for your immigrant neighbors, or even are simply present when those neighbors are taken, your rights will not be protected by the law and your life will be at risk.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

You know the Trump regime really stepped in it when they rollout the arrogant bully who will lie with impunity and dare the press to challenge him

This is an administration that is quite simply indifferent to the lives of anyone it considers a political enemy www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/01/know...

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

I’ve rolled my eyes more than once when the Do Something Brigade demanded Schumer cease all business in the Senate in protest I think we’re about there now

Just another broken promise

Circling back in the new year on those 5.2 million Epstein files the DOJ suddenly discovered over the Christmas break. When is the public going to see those? Why weren’t they previously disclosed or investigated? Seems pretty important.

He's confused as usual!

Well said.

So the entire Trump version of the attack — which every US news outlet just broadcast and bought hook, line and sinker — is basically unraveling before our eyes in a matter of hours 🙄

The Guard never made it closer than Joliet. Meanwhile, Chicago ended the year with the fewest killings in 60 years, broke summer tourism records, and got the “best big city” award by Condé Nast Traveler for the 9th year in a row. The president doesn’t create our narrative or keep us safe. We do.

The Dems delivered for people at the bottom in hundreds of ways - you didn't hear about it because our press is owned by billionaires, and you weren't curious enough to find out for yourself.

“We felt less than human.” How government treats folks in custody is not a lot better than how they treat them when they’re released. A moment from the story of a server helping a man: “May God bless that woman, because she gave me a taco and a Coke.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/28/c...

This isn’t about losing money for the oligarchs, it’s abt someone threatening their ability to do whatever they want and pay no consequences

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

I was disappointed he didn’t hit on the cute priest

Can you see tomorrow’s Lotto numbers?

This was found in the batch of Epstein files the DOJ released today.

Using the DOJ's Epstein Library search interface, no results for "Donald Trump".

Everyone else go home — this is the year we secure ABOLISH ICE on a Chicago Snowplow chicagoshovels.org

I'm reading some Molly Ivins bc I need to really remember that there are a lot more shitty racist people than I realize

“Your property taxes are higher than they should be because commissioners on the Cook County Board of Review keep handing out massive tax breaks to corporations, which shifts their tax burden onto homeowners like you.” chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up? TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

He can't help himself; his sycophants are powerless to stop him, and I want more, more of these daily train wrecks

The White House is promising to announce a new healthcare plan "very soon." We've heard that one before...

Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027. With that money, we could have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people next year and still have $100 billion left over.

One of the most gripping moments I've ever seen in a congressional hearing.
