Have been in Chicago since the 90s and that one day local news stalwart Joan Esposito would be quipping about "throat goat" because the term had become part of the national discussion involving two presidents is not where I thought the world was going.
Throat Goat is not a phrase I've heard before but now it's one I will never forget. No matter how hard I try.

This morning in Skokie, Illinois, Greg Bovino, and eight of his favorite ice SUVs stopped on a street to try to take into custody a single landscaper.
Neighbors reacted loudly with their yells and voices, their honks and their whistles .
ICE left without the man.
This is what democracy looks like.

Consider the possibility that the main reason for the Trump regime's persecution of immigrants isn't to exploit bigotry to attract votes – it's to expand ICE's spending and thus create more opportunities for bribery in government contracts.
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

The Gov of Illinois is pulling no punches. I hope every other Democrat also gets out there & fast.
A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
