I think there's a decent chance that the Pope visits Chicago during this presidency and while there asks to see Broadview and I wonder how that plays out.

Wrote about John Adams, civic virtue, and the Epstein emails:

ESQUIRE: “ICE is hiring literally anybody, and it’s terrifying… people who flunk the exam, criminal records… yet they’re allowed to tear children from their beds at night.” www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Thanks to Rachel Maddow for covering the Remove the Regime event taking place this week. Tomorrow’s schedule begins at 10:00 a.m. with a rally at Flare, followed by what organizers anticipate will be record-breaking direct lobbying for impeachment and removal.

If the pro-life and anti-Christian persecution groups truly believe in their causes, why are they quiet about the president hosting a tyrant at the White House who had a man brutally assassinated and dismembered and who is part of a regime that persecutes Christians?

Nothing should stand in the way of Trump's business empire; he's only interested in money. Don't you dare ask critical questions; things happen. This is the most corrupt administration ever in the history of the United States….

One of those "very fine people." Way to go, Republicans! You own this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Nancy Pelosi is one Bad, Bold, Smart woman and always have been. Much stronger and fearless than a lot of Republican men in the House and Senate.

Scientists recently combined DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. Things went sideways real fast.

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

Piggy has signed off on the release of the Epstein files. There is a loophole in the law that lets the DOJ withhold anything they deem is part of an active investigation. It’s precisely what Piggy is counting on.

Why is ICE only focusing on poor immigrants? Can we get rid of some of the Russian oligarchs that live here?

we’re going to get the tv version of the epstein files with commercial breaks and whatnot

By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.

Kamala would have been an amazing president, but too many people chose not to vote.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

If you see a video being shared here about a woman calling 911 on a Black neighbor in her apartment complex and he turns out to be Boston’s new police chief, it’s a fake. (When the “TV news anchor” announced the police chief’s apartment number on the air, I had my doubts, which research confirmed.)

FYI, there are over 300,000 pages of Epstein files.

“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

On her "new policies" Is the Secretary of Agriculture even aware: 1-that all 50 states already have work requirements. 2-All states require recertification each year. 3-ZERO states offer SNAP, HUD etc to non-citizens, which is in opposition to the current false narratives they are claiming.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

MI6 has the Epstein files. Leak 'em. Sans redactions.

The Epstein files are important but I am sure that their are dozens of equally important things that we need to talk about. Immigration, cost of living, LGBTQ+, healthcare costs, education, food insecurity, billionaire bailouts, graft and corruption and many more!

(NBC) Trump finally signed the bill today at about 8:30 PM. Now to watch during the 30 days to see how much is released and what it means. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

"Things happen" says Prince Bonesaw, who signed off on having Jamal Khashoggi murdered and cut into pieces. Things. Happen. And the "president" defends this man. The royal treatment for the worst human beings on the planet, and nothing but disrespect for Zelenskyy and other actual allies.

Many say they don’t want government rules that may level the playing field for American workers b/c it’s socialism but have no problem with government rules that reward greed

I will not vote for any democrat that doesnt commit to ending Citizens United and raising taxes on the wealthy

For the sake of clarity...

“You don’t need a formal conspiracy when interests converge.” ~ George Carlin

Borders Czar Tom Homan just announced he’s ramping up ICE operations in NYC. Same playbook we’ve been seeing in LA, DC, Chicago & Charlotte. They aren’t hunting criminals, they’re targeting workers and people who are part of the community. Families. Neighbors. The people who keep the city running.

If Kamala was president I think we’d all be looking forward to Thanksgiving.

At today's Comey hearing, Michael Dreeben argued: "This has to stop. ... A message needs to be sent to the Executive Branch. You cannot allow the president to take advantage of the authority of the EB to use as a cudgel to damage [and intimidate] political opponents."

It looks like Lindsey Halligan misled a grand jury, prosecutorial conduct equivalent to committing perjury, in order to manufacture an indictment against James Comey for… wait for it… perjury.
