Mamdani going in there calling Trump sir a couple times and singing the 1-800-588-EMPIRE jingle with him and effortlessly turning him into a committed socialist.
it's so funny to watch the far right White House press pool try to bait Trump to say something nasty about Mamdani and every time he's just like "nah this guy rocks"

It should go without saying that is she correct & Donald Trump is lying. #chicago

Ellis is painstakingly details what happened to Juan Munoz, a trustee on the Oak Park Village Board, who was arrested during a protest at the Broadview immigration processing facility in early October.
Munoz was "used as a prop for Department of Homeland Security videos," Ellis says.

@ramirez.house.gov says that ICE agents went room to room inside the daycare, looking for teachers to take in front of literal toddlers
this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."
