Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.

"The only group of people that he has consistently shown empathy for though, throughout his life are men who are accused of sexual harassment and assault." Tim Miller and Neera Tanden on Trump's long-running soft spot for alleged predators. lnk.thebulwark.com/4rRzPMW?utm_...

"When I said in February that they were going to cast a wide net for deportations, I had no idea how bad it would be. This is not just a matter of aggressive deportation. The things that are being done by our government to our fellow human beings are monstrous." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The National Park Service will offer free admission to U.S. residents on President Donald Trump’s birthday next year — which also happens to be Flag Day — but is eliminating the benefit for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth.

“In ‘Purge, Merge, and Surge,’ Moynihan details how the administration is creating a federal ‘omniforce’ accountable to Trump that he can use to ‘impose control over Democratic cities, instigate enough unrest to justify escalation, and tamp down any dissent.’” www.publicnotice.co/p/don-moynih...

A traditional Native American ceremony is held at the Broadview. ICE Facility In Chicago, featuring a spiritual round dance of healing.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

First Colbert, now Kimmel, and Trump says Fallon and Meyers are next. We now join the ranks of Russia, Nazi Germany, and North Korea—places that persecute comedians and media personalities for dissent. We won't back down. Make a contribution and join us: https://action.lincolnproject.us/donate

For those still keeping track of the lies, now Donald Trump was never an informant for the FBI against Epstein, as confirmed by the head of the FBI. Enough with the lies. Release the files.

Remember ethics?

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

You shouldn’t have to walk around with papers in the United States of America to prove that you belong. All I can say is that this administration should understand Chicago is a place that’s going to protect its people.

Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

It’s illegal for the Trump-Vance admin to share immigrants’ tax return data with DHS — and the former Chief Privacy Officer of the IRS agrees. That’s why we’re in court today to protect taxpayers’ data.

RFK Jr. embraces lies & conspiracies– he is working to take lifesaving vaccines away from kids & families. The firing of the CDC Director, & the resignations of top doctors, who refused his plans, show how extreme he is. Millions of lives are at stake. RFK Jr. must be fired.
