The Trump administration offered a select group of universities the opportunity to score priority access for federal funding. Many of those schools were largely silent, as they considered the conservative terms that could upend university life.

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage. It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.

“It was heartbreaking to watch. Even if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

“The Govt sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to the check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where ppl are hired for day jobs; who work or appear to work in jobs such as landscaping, construction, agriculture, or car washes…” -Justice Kavanaugh

So now he knows what Project 2025 is huh? How convenient. #ElectionsHaveConsequences

It was on this day in 1994 that the CTA switched all of the names of train lines to colors. You see here both the purple and brown trains heading through downtown.

The Trump admin told furloughed workers to set out-of-office email messages blaming Dems for the shutdown, according to an email obtained by @jamieson.bsky.social

End of an era. Feeling bad for those in the super rural areas who were dependent on their services. Everybody don’t have broadband access.

Tired and haven't eaten yet. Long long day. Really rough when your parents get sick.

The federal government has shut down after a congressional standoff over measures aimed at protecting health insurance for millions of Americans

This headline is ridiculous. Republicans have literally every lever of power. They have proven incapable of keeping the government open. Because while they are good at winning elections, they don’t care about governance. That’s the story.

They keep kidnapping people now they're sweeping our neighborhoods

I have family in South Shore, this is terrifying

Trump already said LIVE ON TV that he would never support a Vance run in 2028.

Imagine getting owned this hard by Hakeem Jeffries

This whole day has been.... something.

Wtf?

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Just a reminder that the shaving thing is because Black men are more likely to have curly facial hair that gets trapped under the skin causing pseudofolliculitis barbae. So they get a shaving waver so their faces don't burn. He got rid of the waiver

Donald Trump is an anti-constitutional president who finds new ways every day to violate his oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States" Here, he tells military leaders they will play a major role in fighting the "war from within" in American cities Unconscionable

So basically he wants a force put together to shut down protests against him and his administration....

BREAKING: Trump has said: We were threatened by Russia recently, and I sent a nuclear submarine

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

MF WHAT?

Trump to generals: "We won every swing state, we won the popular vote. We won everything. You have to take a look at the map. It's almost entirely red excerpt there's a little blue line on each coast. And I think that's gonna disappears too."

Rules of engagement is what protects our forces, and American civilians, as well

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction.

This is a must read

I...WTF...

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

Trump to generals: "We have beautiful paper, the gorgeous paper. I said, 'throw a little more gold on it, they deserve it. I want the A paper not the D paper.' We used to sign a piece of garbage ... I want to use the big beautiful firm paper."

Trump to generals: "I love my signature. I really do. Everyone loves my signature."

Unhinged. Totally unhinged.

President Trump was met by silence as he began his Quantico address, a contrast from the rousing applause he expects at his speeches. “I’ve never walked into a room so silent before,” Trump said. “If you want to applaud, you applaud.” wapo.st/4gSqzmS

beyond heartbreaking

UPDATE — Gov. Pritzker said DHS sent a memo to “the Department of War” seeking to deploy 100 troops to Illinois to protect immigration agents and facilities. Also, local leaders describe Broadview ICE facility as “a black hole” with hundreds detained inside. thetriibe.com/2025/09/live...

SMFH....

listening to Trump incoherently ramble for the last 30 minutes gave me a concussion

It is about time.

all-new The Simpsons movie coming July 23, 2027

😒

This is such a dumb presidency… i can’t believe I’m living through this…. AGAIN

Trump: "I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States."

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is. Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

First it was EVO and now EA...these MFs really moving to own all forms of entertainment while also controlling how and what media we consume. It is...unnerving. I feel horrible for the actual devs making games, they just might get the worst of this deal creatively and jobs wise.
