Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

This absolutel vile piece of maga shit. No surprise at all that he’s been taking bribes and the Trump DOJ shut it down.

The entire Trump team is filled with rapists, grifters, liars and thieves.

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder.

I contend that there is no hell on earth worse than trying to find good care for a child with mental illness. It is a completely failed system. I don’t see a word about that in the report—just a clear agenda to deprive kids of necessary medication.

Imagine illegally shipping legal immigrants to a concentration camp overseas — then crying on national TV because someone pointed out you don’t know the damn law.

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

POETIC JUSTICE FOR TRUMP:

On the same day Liberal candidate Mark Carney wins in Canada, Trump told a journalist that he runs the country…and the world.

Donald, you can’t even run your mouth without tanking the economy. And the world hates you.
