I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I know it's not hitting well across the mainstream, but I personally had a blast with #TronAres, and I was definitely not expecting either the discussion of Depeche Mode or the vintage CGI from the early 80s. A bit of a GenX clickbait nostalgia flick, but, hey, I had a blast. Athena was incredible.

If Trump's deportation machine were an army, it would be the 13th largest on earth, ahead of Poland, Canada, Iran. The funding increase kicked in Oct 1, as federal agents unleash violence on the Chicago area, raiding communities and brutalizing protesters. By me & Lindsay Koshgarian, 📷 Steel Brooks.

As Trump describes it, Chicago is the "worst and most dangerous city in the world." It's a hellhole, he says - a killing field, a disaster. Well, I spent another morning in downtown Chicago, and I guess I'm lucky to be alive? Chicago remains a beautiful and fantastic place to live.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago.
These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer.
This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem acknowledged Sunday a surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Chicago in coming days but stopped short of saying it will be accompanied by a National Guard deployment.
Noem acknowledges ICE surge in Chicago but says National Guard deployment up to Trump
Any deployments ultimately would be President Donald Trump’s call, but Gov. JB Pritzker said such a move would be against federal law.
