In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I'm once again asking if there are any legal avenues we can pursue to compel the state AG to reread 5 ILCS 805/15 (TRUST Act) and actually apply it
Chicago Police District Councilor Dion McGill says community members have seen actions from CPD officers that seem to violate the IL TRUST Act, which limits cooperation between state & federal police on immigration enforcement.
"Words like collusion and collaboration are used constantly," he says.

JD Vance, born James Bowman, changed his name to James David Hamel, then James David Vance. He was an atheist when he married his Hindu wife in 2014, but they still did a Hindu Christian wedding. Last week he said he wished his wife was a Christian. He once called Trump Hitler. Who is he, really?

I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."
U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …
"It has really become a prison."
"It has really become a prison."
DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."
She wants any TRO to not "interfere with the executive branch."

I am a firm believer of massive nationwide non-violent civil disobedience with that main intention of fostering peace.
At the same time, I find inspiration from groups like the Black Panther Party on how to fight back against a government that uses violence to suppress people. We are being bullied.

It’s so disorienting to have Kash Patel doing the presser on this because he looks like a guy who constantly has five leg parlays going
Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was arrested early Thursday morning as part of an FBI sports betting gambling probe, sources tell ESPN. The Eastern District of New York and FBI director Kash Patel will hold a press conference at 10 am ET to announce arrests from investigation.

Jessica Tarlov just detonated the narrative:
“The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court — not a drone.”
Seven strikes. Thirty-two dead. Zero charges. This

I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
