BREAKING: new racist Republican groupchat has been leaked to Politico featuring texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

He’s so shifty eyed. Like a little kid who knows he’s lying and trying to cover it up from his mom.
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Last week, we published an opinion piece in the Milwaukee Business Journal from members of the board of directors at the Milwaukee Turners. The “moment calls for a reimagination of how philanthropy operates in our region” one that asks the powerful to step in and support the community. #Milwaukee

Charlie Kirk and Turning Points USA regularly engaged in acts of targeted political violence. One case includes the targeted attack against a graduate student TA at Marquette University in 2014. 1/

Mamdani: "I asked Dems, who did you vote for any why? I heard from them again and again -- 'I voted for Trump bc I could afford things that are now out of my reach.' Ultimately when I asked them what it would take to bring them back to the D Party, they said a relentless focus on an economic agenda"
