Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Trump is offering a pardon to any criminal who tried to help him steal an election.

The most corrupt administration in history and Republicans won’t say a peep.

Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election

The pardons may be largely symbolic as none of the people listed were convicted of federal crimes, which the presidential pardon covers.

Chuck Schumer’s decision making this week alone (between Mamdani and this CR debacle) should be absolutely disqualifying to leadership. I dare one rank-and-file Senate Democrat who believes this to say it out loud.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

Just found out that our favorite burger joint in McCall is giving a free meal to anyone who presents a SNAP card. I love My Father’s Place so much. They do a lot for our community. ♥️
