I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

MSNBC: Breaking news. It's out of the eastern district of Virginia, where three sources familiar tell MSNBC former FBI director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the coming days

In making unsupported claims about autism, the Trump administration is "pointing the finger" at parents and making them feel guilty, says autism community advocate Colin Killick.

"Knives to the throat. Violent rages. An awful rape allegation. Failed marriages. Estranged children. And, through it all, the quiet and persistent love of his father and a family trying to save his life." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/i-am-thank...

Indicting Comey is yet another desperate act of a desperate, weakening Trump Administration. They are cracking, not building or getting stronger. A weak, cankled man stumbling towards the inevitable end. Unfortunately, he'll do so much damage before finally falling.

🧵💥 Ukraine's masterful strategy to force Russia to close its oil wells, expensive to reopen if not impossible. 1) Oil refinery strikes - domestic fuel crisis and storage problem for surplus crude oil. Salavat Oil Refinery struck again. Refining capacity of 10 million tons/year.

For 15 years, over 90 psychiatric hospitals across the country have violated a law giving patients access to emergency care, with or without insurance. Almost all the facilities faced the same lack of consequences, a ProPublica investigation found. By @emcahan.bsky.social

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

"This is the left's fault for demonizing ICE with their rhetoric"

Not long after Trump ranted about going after his political enemies, Comey is now reportedly going to be indicted. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

"It’s a dark, highly pessimistic scenario. The possibility of invoking the Federal Contested Elections Act makes gerrymandering seem quaint. But one lesson of this year is that whatever isn’t nailed down in advance is apt to be seized at the earliest opportunity." www.thebulwark.com/p/dirty-proc...

Israel’s sudden decision to indefinitely close the sole land crossing giving over 3 million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank access to international travel, has intensified fears of more restrictions amid Israel’s threats of retaliation against Western recognition of a Palestinian state.

Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh was slammed to the ground by ICE agents on camera. If that’s public behavior, what happens in the dark?

Time to cancel Apple+ What cowardice. This is what happens with right-wing terror stats for the past 15 years, btw. Conservatives always try to scrub it or shut down studies and reports. DOJ just scrubbed the 2024 study for example. Why not confront it? All they care about is $$. Make it count.

If this meeting had gone forward, Trump was going to be hit with truth and facts, something the media refuses to do and Trump can't handle. If he can't bully and lie, he's got nothing. I can totally see why he would refuse to take a meeting with people who were going to come armed with facts.

As much as we criticize current Dem leadership, Trump's mob boss tactics that have been so effective against Republicans and the media don't seem to be working on them. And since that's really Trump's only play, he doesn't know how to deal with them. And he gets frustrated when bullying fails.

Who will be in charge of TikTok’s US-based operations (and the data of millions of American users)? Trump said a trio of billionaires will oversee the social-media platform’s algorithm.

So i just received a message from Nema and she told me that the company that promised to transport her and her family increased their price by $700. She's raised $50.00 so far but needs to raise $650 more dollars. PLEASE share this post and give if you can.

So much for the narrative that WH aides and allies have been pushing claiming the administration wasn’t attempting to coerce Disney/ABC. 🤪

Jimmy Kimmel’s removal and return spotlighted the assault on free speech. But for many, punishment for speaking out is nothing new. Carron J. Phillips offers a different perspective.

The Vice President said this standing in front of an armored police vehicle defending secret police. We don't call everyone we disagree with a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi stuff.

Coming up on #KTLA: This is normally the time of year when retailers announce plans for seasonal hiring. This year, not so much

Anyone else find it odd that Kash Patel’s FBI wanted to make sure that everyone knew as early as possible that one of bullets had “anti-ICE” written on it? They didn’t say anything specific about the victims, the shooter, the weapon… nope… just that? And a photo… of that?

The wannabe dictator is still openly threatening Jimmy Kimmel and ABC. We cannot give him an inch. Kimmel said it best: “This show is not important. What’s important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.” We must fight to keep it that way.

I have no idea who shot at the ICE facility or why, & hard to trust this FBI director. Murder is always inexcusable. Now, the idea that people are mad at ICE because of ‘Democrats’ rhetoric’ & not because of daily videos of masked ICE agents assaulting people, including citizens, is for the birds.

Excuse me...is it the left or the right that is calling for violence?

This moron is a dangerous, grossly unqualified nutcase and hack who should be nowhere near DOJ except as a defendant. Only Trump would put this freak in a position of authority.

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."

Somehow all of these agencies were able to do their jobs before, unmasked. I wonder what's different now.

“We are going to defeat the left and we are going to win” is no longer about politics. They control every branch of government. They have won. So “defeat the left” is now about eliminating us from the earth - and everything this regime does is toward that end.

Trump’s got nothing on his public schedule today until a ‘Rose Garden Club’ dinner at 7pm. He’s turning WH into a private, for profit venture having expanded plans for ballroom to now hold 1000 people. Imagine how much you could charge TPUSA clowns or MAGA morons? Grifter.

Yeah, the fact that it was detainees that were killed is just an inconvenient point for Vance. He just doesn't care what happened as long as he can turn it into fuel for MAGAts outrage.

Disgusting...absolutely disgusting. SMH

Both of my kids are on the Autism spectrum and it has nothing to do with Tylenol and it hasn't "destroyed" the family. I wish that RFK Jr. and tRump would keep their mouths shut about things they know nothing about (which is actually most everything.) SMH

This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing. Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.

It's a good bet that Melania lied in her naturalization application. For years, she claimed to have a degree in architecture. Melania never got a college degree. This would be relevant, as she is said to have qualified for an Epstein, ur, I mean, Einstein Visa.

If the GOP want to continue down their current path (Deport Omar! Deport Mamdani!), then Dems need to start calling for the denaturalization & deportation of Melania, fight fire with fire - plus there are far more unanswered questions about her immigration to the US than either Mamdani or Omar.

It's difficult to imagine Trump ruling any country other than America. If he did, he would be an international pariah. But because he is the President of the United States, foreign leaders are forced to pretend that he isn't an absolute lunatic. It's really something

And that was all within the first 2 minutes. 🤷‍♀️

It was perhaps an ominous sign when the first thing President Donald Trump said in his United Nations General Assembly speech Tuesday was that his teleprompter was broken. https://cnn.it/42uiten

These are fair surmises.
