Rep Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) in her introductory floor speech said she’s ready to sign the Jeffrey Epstein discharge petition right now

"In a shocking trove of emails released by House Democrats, Jeffrey Epstein alleged that President Trump 'spent hours' at his home with a victim and 'knew about the girls.'"

The Trump administration’s deportation campaign in Chicago is expected to soon ramp down as U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino and many of his fellow agents prepare to move on to another city.

Winter is here.

One person said they received only about 40% of the SNAP benefits they typically get each month. “The unpredictability really hurts people,” said Holly Yacoumakis, lead community food source specialist at Marillac St. Vincent Harvest Hub food pantry.

G’morning. This raises a LOT of questions starting with, “have you read the First Amendment?”

Good afternoon. U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman is presiding over a remote status hearing that just began over conditions inside the ICE facility in Broadview.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

I can see I’ll be getting a lot of chores done during the Bears game.

Evanston showing up in droves at ETHS today for a food drive to help neighbors affected by immigration actions and SNAP disruption.

ICE/CBP is rampaging through the burbs again this morning. Sightings and kidnappings reported across Bolingbrook, Summit, Addison, Bensenville, Melrose Park, Brookfield.

Good morning, something about turning our clocks back etc

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Fresh off the boat (yeah, she came on a ship, then train to Chicago), my mom went to this high school in the 60s. Another group of immigrants is still striving — and striding — to make a mark in this country blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/31/l...

Reports of Border Patrol being met with whistles and protesters on the NW side, Evanston, Skokie and Niles; some by schools, some in pretty quiet neighborhoods. By all accounts the feds were staying just long enough to rile up the neighbors.

“Ohh, tough guy! I wear a helmet! And sunglasses!”

Border Patrol grabbed workers from the front yard of a home in Edison Park this afternoon then took them behind an office building in Niles and passed them off to a prisoner van. Woman came out to MF them and said "you're in the most conservative neighborhood in the city and nobody wants you here."

It’s a pumpkin sky for Halloween morn. Let’s hope all the monsters we encounter this weekend are fictional 👹

Former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson was found guilty of one count of the lesser charge for killing Sonya Massey. The second-degree murder conviction against Grayson, who is white, carries a potential sentence of between four and 20 years. trib.al/g0PRgha

Everyone in Chicago knows this is true.

“Chicago is the future.“ @joseolivarez.bsky.social for @chicagomag.com

To clear up some confusion: Greg Bovino's in-court appearance today is separate from his deposition. He'll later be deposed under oath but behind closed doors. Unclear if a transcript will eventually be made public. Depositions start Wednesday, lawyers have said.

Old Irving today - Trib photog catches the neighbors including a former Cook Co prosecutor in his Blackhawks pj’s reading the feds for filth —

Delighted to be with so many folks taking in the art and history of Dia de Muertos in Pilsen today at @explorenmma.bsky.social

With every passing day, Marge Gunderson sounds more like a Midwestern Cassandra

“And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little bit of money, you know. Don’tcha know that? And here you are, and it’s a beautiful day.”

Breaking news: The East Wing of the White House is gone. Wrecking crews completely removed the decades-old annex by midday Thursday, just three days after they started, to make way for a pet project of President Trump: a 90,000-square-foot ballroom.

The Sun-Times is reporting Border Patrol took at least two teenage boys today when they hit Little Village, again. One is said to be a 16-year old student, U.S. citizen, and student at Benito Juarez Community Academy.

Border Patrol has reportedly detained several people in Little Village this morning. Video from Facebook shows Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino and his agents walking the streets as warning whistles blow in the background.

“Once my colleague pulled out his camera, the agent put away the gun," Huynh told the Sun-Times Tuesday night. "[But] if they can do this in broad daylight to an elected official, and point a gun at someone, imagine what’s happening behind closed doors.”

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis will allow a limited deposition of top Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino in an ongoing lawsuit about the treatment of protesters during the Trump administration's deportation campaign in Chicago.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
