Wow.
Interesting, my Congresswoman announced she is not running again. She has done good work, but is aged. I am toying with the idea of running for that office as establishment politicians seem to simply ignore their constituents in many cases. Not sure I have the energy, but it may be worth it.

Ousting Biden mid cycle did not work.
The drama around Schumer will also not work.
Dems will look untrustworthy to the public.
Too much beltway thinking.
Have a competitive leadership election in Dec 2026.

The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

The RIFs language is actually great. Not only does it rehire the people RIFed during the shutdown, it makes it an unequivocal Antideficiency Act violation to do ANY MORE RIFs through the duration of the CR (Jan 30)

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

Trump is still using hunger as a political weapon while also refusing to address skyrocketing health care costs — and seems to be enjoying it. It’s the definition of sadism. A truly twisted man.

They went into this terrorized community to incite people. And pepper sprayed an infant. There is no level of depravity these people won’t sink to.
A crazy day in Little Village: A report of someone shooting at federal agents, fortunately no one was hit. The Feds pepper allegedly sprayed an infant. A cop was hit by a car. And Bovino threatened to tear gas angry residents. Story from @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/08/c...
Shots fired at immigration agents in Little Village as residents confront Bovino, Border Patrol, authorities say
Community members once again confronted a convoy of Border Patrol agents led by Cmdr. Gregory Bovino as it moved through Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods.
