Broadview police are investigating.
CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.
We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

I will not back down.
Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.
And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.
Did I get that right?

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax
This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

SCOTUS broke from its increasingly common practice of deciding important cases without holding an oral argument or explaining the reasoning of its decision, to hear a case about whether states may ban “conversion therapy” — sessions which seek to change one's sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Supreme Court fights over whether medical expertise actually exists
The Supreme Court seems eager to kill state bans on anti-LGBTQ conversion therapy.

everyday they provoked people to use force against them! And everyday the people show reserve unlike those thugs in masks!
Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.
The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”
“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”
