This is verified story. ICE terrorists deployed tear gas on Chicago street b/c a protester on a bike refused to move . Guy deserves a medal for staying even after others fled. Not as dramatic but 🇺🇸 version of protestor in Tiananmen Square SHAME ⁦‪on GOP‬⁩& everyone who supports the DHS

The mister went running without me, as one of us still needs to stay fit. Giving the knee a few more days of rest after my bike tried to have an off road adventure without me two weeks ago. I insisted that he go. Marriage is compromise 🤷🏽‍♀️

Let’s go, Chicago 🎨😊

Nationalize all Golf Courses That way, when government shuts down, so does golf. You'll never see another shutdown again.

The lack of respect for aging parents, grandparents, and all seniors in general in this country is staggering. Other countries put them on a pedestal for the wisdom they’ve acquired. We need to identify our own ‘blind spots’ and how we can do better. We all get there, if we’re lucky.

I used to strongly advocate for this. But life changed my thinking. Good article for those questioning what’s best. “All it does is make sure that people are fighting when they’re tired.” apnews.com/article/coup...

Halfway thru Trump’s meeting with congressional leadership days before the shutdown, red hats appeared on the desk. “Trump 2028”. apnews.com/article/gove...

Advocates for victims have noted a cultural backlash against the #MeToo movement that sought to hold rapists accountable. His lawyer confirmed to CNN that her team has reached out to Trump about a potential pardon. apple.news/AvKC_y6AxTK6...

I hope you’re able to unplug a little tonight, maybe with your favorite 2 legged or 4 legged companion. Some good food and drink of choice. A book, movie, music, dancing…whatever the heart desires. Indulge in a little self care. We’ve earned it 🫶🏼💕

First, I’ll say that I have no sympathy. But a sobering thought. We’ve all been in at least one relationship where we look back and wonder … wtf was I thinking?? But when the memory makes you cringe. Think of this … at least you’re not this woman.

Families are wondering how they’re going to pay their rent if backpay doesn’t come soon enough … now facing the unknown. Some with new babies at home, young families, living paycheck to paycheck. And these clowns get a week’s free vacation. Simply because they won’t compromise.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

Trump will withhold $2.1 billion for Chicago infrastructure projects, including money for the CTA that plans to add additional stops in disadvantaged areas. Vought states that the money was “put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing via race-based contracting.” nbcchicago.app.link/zxlFHAKMaXb

“These restrictions appear to follow a disturbing pattern with the Trump Administration — attempting to limit the ability of the public and the media to monitor and demand accountability for their actions.” nbcchicago.app.link/PmVCclaMaXb

It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home. Thank you to former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra for explaining.

While the toddler is mesmerized by AI and posting stupid videos, Stephen Miller and Russel Vought are running the country to the ground.

Victim recalled more than 100 instances of abuse over 4.5 years. “Never tell anyone about this. It will ruin everything.” After the 2016 election, Morris served on the president’s faith advisory council. In June 2020, Morris hosted Trump at his church for a “Roundtable on Transition to Greatness.”

DOE employees realized their response message had been altered to contain partisan language without their consent. When they edited them, they found they were changed back. apple.news/AXn9JBVxbQnC...

This should piss us all off. Donald Trump is putting up signs taking credit for the bipartisan Biden Infrastructure Act. He once called Biden's $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Bill “terrible”. But now he’s pretending he signed it.

The rare feel-good gov't shutdown story: I talked to some Bronx 8th-graders on a field trip to DC whose tour of the Capitol was canceled bc of the shutdown - and who ended up getting a personal tour from @aoc.bsky.social instead: www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

Today is National Custodian Day. Take time to appreciate all hard working and overlooked people.

Democrats working hard for the American people.

We stand together — elected officials, business leaders, the faith community, law enforcement, educators, and more — in our opposition to the abuses of power by Donald Trump's administration. We're telling this unwarranted and unconstitutional occupation to stay out of Chicago.

A drunk and a draft dodger walked into a bar … oh wait … that was a stage in front of the highest ranking military officers on the planet.

Trump's show of force in Chicago now includes federalized troops including the FBI. “Lumping the FBI into this process really is not understanding the FBI mission, which I would say from the WH down to the current director…" nbcchicago.app.link/g6aOlwxE8Wb

Under US law, cosmetic products and ingredients do not need FDA approval before they go on the market. The one exception is color additives. Maybe MAHA needs to investigate the orange dye. Something’s definitely going on there.

Anyone else notice that when talking with any member of the maga persuasion now … the conversation always comes back to religion, and how somebody somewhere is too woke and they need to find jesus. As if he wasn’t the wokest of the woke.

We often see Chicago PD recruits in training when out running or walking the pup. Always thought it was the coolest thing ever. So proud of these men & women. Still am, more than ever. But saddens me to think that now they’re also training to protect our city from the actions of the “president”.

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”
