Friendly reminder that the Affordable Care Act = affordable health insurance due to tax credits that expire at the end of this year. If Congress lets them expire, insurance costs will soar and millions of people will lose health insurance. More uninsured Americans mean higher prices for all of us.

DEVELOPING: Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster calls for the imprisonment of Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’ governor because they will not help him turn their home into a war zone.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him. Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Mike Johnson only wants Lee Greenwood to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl because Lawrence Welk is dead and therefore unavailable.

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

Deputy AG Todd Blanche: "We have organized efforts by domestic terrorists -- and that's what they are -- to do things like box in law enforcement's cars ... they are armed with heavy machinery."

Schiff: "You were asked whether you were firing career prosecutors just because they worked on January 6 investigations. You refused to answer that question."

Today, a group of the Epstein Survivors are to hold a press conference on Capitol Hill.

“Now is our moment in time to fight for the change that we want to see, and fight for the future that we know we deserve," Pearson tells Rolling Stone. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all. Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

thank you brett kavanaugh!

WATCH: Did the FBI find those photographs? 😶 #pambondi #donaldtrump #epstein

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

The soft porn star was looking for a sugar daddy. A way to get her citizenship. It's no surprise that she was a part of the Epstein harem. That Epstein introduced her to the DonOld.

The original version of the book said that Epstein was involved in introducing Melania to her beloved husband.

In a nutshell.

Whiny MAGA freaks out over Super Bowl halftime show www.publicnotice.co/p/bad-bunny-...

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

🫣 Profits are for wimps. Revenues are for losers. Ideas sell, not fundamentals Over half the Nasdaq market is loss making. About 1-in-8 companies have no revenues There are a lot more in these camps than in the past

Love this man. #Hero #Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

Puppy killer Kristi Noem is complaining that no Chicago restaurants are willing to serve her ICE goons. 👏 Chicago, we love you for this!!!

Did anyone else see this today and wonder wtf happened? Oopsie, Stephen.

They laughed…

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

Just because they are pepperballs it doesn't mean you can shoot unarmed people just for the fuck of it. That cowardly fuck needs to be in prison.

Early Expansion (1933-1935): After the Nazis took power in 1933, the army began to expand, initially using cover names for its growing divisions. “ICE” . . Etc

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

He must think we’ve forgotten…
