Oak Park has joined a growing list of suburbs that are following the lead of the city of Chicago in passing ordinances that have declared their towns to be ICE free zones.

Get this man back to Albania stat

The only thing I care about in a president for 2028 is holding every one of these people accountable under the law in the harshest manner possible. Anything short of that is a waste of time.

Crockett: Marjorie Taylor Greene voted for this point blank period. Her constituents were the ones that were on the receiving end of this.

fair enough

he says a lot of numbers

Notice how Mamdani starts answering the journalist by leaning over, then ~crouches~ so he is ~meeting the journalist where he is,~ talking to him face to face and not literally looking down at the journalist, which is what a lot of people would do.

Bovino instantly violates new court order. About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a SWSide gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle

"Beyond being the 24th consecutive grant of emergency relief to the Trump administration, the cryptic ruling in Orr is a reminder of just how bankrupt the Court’s proffered justifications are in these cases—both legally and in other ways, too." Me on today's ugly #SCOTUS ruling in Trump v. Orr:

JUST IN: The US military conducted another strike against a vessel in the Caribbean, killing three people. https://cnn.it/4hMUsFD

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

It turns out when you fire all the staff who handle travel bookings, visas, and security, the inspectors can't do their job either. These absolute dipshits.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow. He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed. He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage. It’s enraging.

Has there ever been a good Thursday night game on Amazon?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Is she aware that he reneges on every deal he makes? He stiffs contractors and can’t be trusted. How do you do make deals with a known bad faith actor?

Trump announces Kazakhstan will join Abraham Accords despite already having full diplomatic relations with Israel www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

HA! Know someone who, uh, worked with that guy years ago. He sent her a copy of his memoir after it was published. Still get a kick out of one of the jacket blurbs that a former FBI agent wrote for him, “Surprised he hasn’t been whacked.”

A juxtaposition: Gregory Bovino at a gas station, complaining that “Just to go use the bathroom and get something to eat” is a “safety concern.” Just after asking a dude buying a soda where he’s from. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/06/b...

Weird how this coincides with the seventh congressional district, the only remotely competitive district left in Tennessee

Can we talk more about the list of "covered events" in the Tesla/Musk $1T pay package, which is basically a reverse force majeure clause that gives the board an excuse "to pay out" money even if Musk doesn't meet milestones? WTAF?? www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/t...

UPDATE: Here's the written district court order that the Trump administration pay full SNAP benefit payments for this month by Friday. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... DOJ has already filed a notice of appeal to the First Circuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Maine rejected a ballot measure that’d have restricted mail voting and imposed voter ID. By a large margin, 64/36. The no got 90% in the city of Portland. (!) boltsmag.org/five-ways-20...

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

He literally started using the word “affordability” on Wednesday after Mamdani’s election win. Guess he’s over it two days in.

The @couriernewsroom.bsky.social folks picking up our video of Matt Van Eppstein Files 🫡

Quick quiz -- which president made food stamps into a massive national program?

Weird, because he wants to eliminate FEMA and not have the federal government involved in disaster relief. Anyway, remember when @jenpsaki.msnbc.com said something similar about the federal govt sending covid tests/masks to the American people?

“.. I don’t want to hear about the affordability.” - 11/06/25

A few photos from federal officers conducting an immigration enforcement action on Chicago's Southwest side Thursday afternoon.

Trump touts Walmart lowering the cost of Thanksgiving meals (because they are lower quality and contain less food) and then lies shamelessly about prices that "everything is down"

Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

Q: A federal judge ruled that the administration has to fully fund SNAP. DOJ said they're gonna appeal. What's your message to folks as we're headed to Thanksgiving? TRUMP: *looks at JD Vance* you wanna gowithater

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Love it! My maternal abuelita pretended to her final day that she didn’t understand inglés, but we knew she did. lol

Building a behemoth on the back of public subsidies, incentives, tax and carbon credits really paid off.

OH MY GOD www.wsmv.com/2025/11/06/p...

Trump said he’d be “honored” to release SNAP funds with guidance from the courts. Today, he got that guidance from Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island, FOR THE SECOND TIME. And he immediately appealed.

Has a reporter asked her for an update on this case? Or any other case shes work on?

Before Thursday’s ruling limiting the feds’ use of force, the Homeland Security secretary encouraged the Border Patrol chief to go hard at protesters opposing Chicago’s deportation blitz. trib.al/p7wWM9H

ojalá [but we know how Democrats really are]

this argument has never made sense to me. as a candidate, brandon johnson promised to cancel the shotspotter contract if he was elected. then he won. it’s not some plot to subvert voters’ will. it’s what people voted for.

Serious question: how do they imagine this works for them?

Thought the Dem play this week might be to announce backing for the Nov. 21 CR to give Rs a chance to do what they've promised - negotiate on ACA with govt open - but with a short leash. They have gone a different route.

The Senate has defeated an effort by Democrats to force a war powers vote on the U.S. military buildup re: Venezuela. Sen. Rand Paul R-KY & Sen. Lisa Murkowski R-AK were the only two GOP Senators to break ranks.

Democrats he has just given you the easiest layup in the history of politics. He could've taken the off ramp political win with his base and blame the woke judge for forcing his hand but no he doubled down and appealed the ruling because HE WANTS PEOPLE TO STARVE.

All those posts about this and I thought people were joking.
