Our politicians are speaking for us in Chicago: Homeland Security needs to get the hell out and leave us alone.
Federal agents pepper-sprayed a baby girl in Little Village this weekend. There's no limit to what these thugs will do.
To make Chicago safe again, we need ICE and CBP to get the hell out of our city.

Feds Pepper-Spray 1-Year-Old In Cicero, Use Tear Gas On Little Village Neighbors
Federal agents were shot at, according to the Department of Homeland Security, while legal observers said agents created a "dangerous and unsafe environment."

The hemp farmers forgot to give Trump a piece of the action. Cut him in for 20% and this all goes away.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

This is Priscilla Williams-Till, a cousin of Emmett Till. She’s running for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi, against GOP incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith who infamously joked about attending a lynching in 2018.

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.

Momentum is a real thing.
Democrats finally had some, after massive turnouts for #NoKings and resounding wins in both red and blue states last week.
The majority of the country, rightfully so, held Trump and the GOP accountable for the government shutdown.

🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen.
Flood the lines. Call your Senators.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

' “Indict first, investigate second” is virtually a synonym for vindictive and selective prosecution. That is why what Judge Fitzpatrick said is so significant in the Comey case.'

DOJ Had Its First Big Hearing in a “Trump Enemy’’ Prosecution. The Judge Was Not Pleased.
Before saying more about Judge Fitzpatrick’s pushback, let’s recall why Comey made it to the top of Trump’s enemies list.
